Is my period longer than usual?!
Question: Is my period longer than usual?
Answers:
5 days is completely normal! And, since you're just starting your period, it'll be irregular probably for a couple years. Mine didn't start getting predictable till i was about 18, and it was also very heavy for the first few years. Now, I'm 22, and it is lighter than it was, the cramps aren't as bad. So yeah, it sucks, but, it does get better!
I would suggest, if you do have an older female you're comfortable talking to, ask her about it. Also make sure you keep pads or tampons with you all the time... sometimes it may come sooner or later than expected.
well you should talk to your mother or older sister if you have one first.
periods usually last 3 to 6 days. though since your only on your second period it's going to be alittle Irregular. and cramps are pretty much expected (I get them too) though if they get really serious then you should tell someone.
Though I really suggest going to an adult you can trust (preferably female) and asking her. it is embarrassing in the beginning but trust me all women go through this so theres nothing to be scared of. :)
