Question for the ladies who have had there period for a while.Have you noticed when you reached your 20s you had "less" cramps?

Answers:

The average number is 7 days. Periods can last 3-15 days.
Your period is put off longer if you are stressed out.



the average is anywhere between 3 and 7 but there are massive differences between women.
Mine lasts around 4/5 days.

I haven't quite reached 20 (19) but i haven't suffered from bad cramps since i was around 13 - i just get twinges now



There isn't anything wrong with you, it just depends on your body and your cycle. Don't worry!

The minimum is 3 days.
3-7 days is average.

I'm not a lady, so I can't answer the cramp question.

...I took health class and I'm in Parenting class at high school.



The normal range for a period is 4-7 days. If they last longer than 9 days it's recommended to see a doctor.
