I have a longer period?

Question

my period is normally 5 days long and i started the 18 its been like a week and im still bleeding?

is something wrong with me.

im 16 i've had my period for about 3 yrs.

Answer 1

Are you actively bleeding? Or are you "spotting".  There is huge difference.  You need to be able to describe menstrual flow by the number & type of hygiene products you use up in a day.

Then go talk with your doctor.  

Answer 2

Throughout my teen years I had a totally irregular pattern - one month it would be heaven because it only lasted 4 days. Then 3 or 4 months followed when it was a whole week (and sometimes a day or two more) and I used to be absolutely sick of it.(and sore).

I doubt very much there is anything wrong but if it continues to be too difficult and intrusive in your life then have a word with your Doc.

I hope you feel better soon & please don't worry so much. UK
