is my period okay?

Question

My mom thinks my periods are too close together and too long, so she wants to take me to the doctor. Im 16, i got my period when i was 11. In the beginning of the school year i have cross country, and i leak really bad during intense races if i have my period. My cramps are pretty bad too. What do you guys think?

Answer

I got my period at 10 And I also would last seven or nine days up until I gave birth to my first child so I think it's normal...

Answer

If its consistently like this then I wouldn't worry, but if your mum is willing to take you to the doctor, the use of birth control would shorten and relieve pain from cramps!

Answer

Everyone is different! I get my period every 26-28 days usually. And cramps are pretty normal (unfortunately, lol).

Answer

That's most likely normal for you. A 30 day cycle with a week of bleeding doesn't sound bad but if you'd like to talk to a doctor about cramps and trying to lighten your period there's no harm in going and discussing it.

Answer

Everyone is different. Lots of girls get cramps. If your period has always been like this then it's probably fine x
