Problem with period?

Question

im 15 and i usually go 5 days but its been 7 and no sign of getting ready to stop. do you start counting when you start bleeding or when the discharge starts??should I go to the doctor to get it checked?

Answer 1

Sometimes your period can be affected if you're not settled into a pattern yet. Also stress and weight loss/gain can affect it. If i was you i would just wait and see what happens. If you're still on after another week or so i would go and see your doctor, but it's probably nothing to worry about.
