Does anyone else have experience with long periods and if that's just my luck or something could be up? I'm 28, I have never been on birth control, and I spot for about a week before my period, and then my actual period lasts 7-9 days. I feel like It's very annoying/frustrating and my bf and I want to start trying for baby number one late this summer. I'm wondering if it will end up having a negative effect on fertility, etc.
