Can your period only be three days long?

Answer 1

not abnormal just thank whoever that you are getting off so lightly lol <P>Normal duration is about 3 to 5 days for most women although some women are 2 days and some unfortunate women are over a week. Periods often change patterns depending on age/ stage of life.

<P>If there is any possibility of pregnancy and you are used to having longer periods, it is worth having a pregnancy test. Some women continue to get some bleeding every month during pregnancy, but this can also be a sign of problems or potential miscarriage.

<P>Hormonal Birth Control methods can shorten periods and that is why they are used by women who bleed too often or too long or too heavily.</P>

<P>If you have only 3 days a month, feel blessed. But if those 3 days are so heavy you are hesitant to go to school or work, then see a gynecologist or at least a family doctor. My teen daughter found that exercising, especially in the middle of her cycle before PMS started and eating well helped her be regular and less heavy.

<P>My mom always said to write on the calendar when periods started and stopped and use a code to record how light or heavy. It is easy to show a doctor a calendar then give vague answers to "When was your last period and how long did it last?" (I can seldom remember on my own.) It sure helps during reproductive years as well when you are not regular and think you might be pregnant.</P>

Answer 2

Yes, this is completely normal. The average length of time for menstruation is around 5-7 days long, however everyone is different so some women may have shorter or longer menstruation. It's also completely normal to have the odd period that's a little shorter or longer than your normal menstruation.

Answer 3

Yes it is normal your period could last 3-7 days.

Answer 4

Yes. it is even norl for a girl to have her period for 11 days!

Answer 5

Absolutely. Google says that your period usually lasts between 3 to 5 days.

Answer 6

I'm not sure exactlly, I would ask your local doctor for more advice. If they can't figure it out, ask a trusted adult. Like your mom.

Answer 7

Very normal. An average period is 3 to 7 days, so if all your periods are like that, then it's completely normal and there is nothing to worry about.

Answer 8

if you are just starting, yes. it will take 1-2 years before your period will be regular. (unless you are super lucky and are regular from the start)

Answer 9

Yes this is completely normal, I menstruate for this period (no pun intended, lol.) of time. A woman's period can vary from 2 days to 7 days. Every girl is different. :)
