On my period, bleeding longer than usual?

Question

I got my period on Aug 22nd. Now my normal flow is anywhere from 3 to 4 days, but now it's going on the 7th day. This is not normal for me.

I feel just the same as I do any other time, but the period is just lasting longer than usual.

Flow wise, I would say that is probably more light than usual as well, and when I would change my (ya know), there would hardly be any blood on it, but once I took it out, despite there being hardly any blood on it, as soon as it was out, I would immediately start bleeding again.

Should I be concerned?

Answer 1

that's not that many days periods can always be different if it goes for too long and is heavy then go see a doctor

Answer 2

You need to buy vitamins with iron in them because you don't have enough iron in you.

Answer 3

Answer 4

if you had unprotected s*x yea be concerned but if not, its just a longer lasting period

Answer 5

Nah, it's normal.

they aren't all the same.

Answer 6

If you have health insurance get your butt to the doctor! And if you don't have insurance, take yourself to Planned Parenthood! Why worry? What have you got to lose by going?

My sister had no symptoms and was diagnosed with stage 4 pre-cancer of the cervix. ANY abnormality should be investigated.

The only time I had bleeding like that was when my IUD was mislodged. Go get yourself checked so you can RELAX!

Answer 8

I'm the same way. i usually get it for about 3 or 4 days and then it stops. but sometimes i get it for a whole 7 days. Since its light thats a good sign, its probably because your body has more waste to get rid of this month. i wouldn't worry :-)

Answer 13

I wouldnt be.. I had one a couple months ago that lasted 9days, I was like what in the world!! But it went away :]

Answer 14

no, don't worry about it.

that just happens sometimes, it's normal.

now i was worried when.. i usually get it in the beginning of the month & i have it for 3 or 4 days.

but i got it & had it for 15 days & then didn't get it for 4 months.

no lie at all, & i wasn't taking any pills or anything for that, it just happens.

it was nothing though, things like that happen.

Answer 15

Hmm....Well i haven't had my period yet...But from what I know, you should see your doctor tomorrow if the bleeding doesn't stop. Also, if it starts to hurt, don't take tylenol or anything that's a blood thinner and it'll make the bleeding even longer. Hope I helped :3

Answer 16

sometimes it happens
