Will my period get longer?

Question

I had my first period last week, and it was 7 days long. Will my period be longer the next time? Is it normal to have 7 day long period?

Answer

It could get longer, but more than likely it will stay about the same or get shorter. Periods can be very irregular the first few years, so be ready for heavy, light, or even missed periods. The time in between periods could also fluctuate from anywhere between 20-35 days, so carrying a pad or two in your backpack and purses is a good idea.

Answer

I know how you're feeling. Mine used to be 7-9 days and awful!! I'd be in class passed out on the desk with no sympathy from my teachers or the school nurse. They all thought I was faking how bad it was. I'm 26 now and I average 5 days (1st-light, 2 medium to heavy and 2 days of spotting). I've never taken BC. It mellowed out on its own!!

Shouldn't get longer will take a while to regulate properly though :) my period is 6 days long 7 is still normal don't worry x
