Hi, I'm 15 and my menstrual cycle is 17 days long. I experience quite a bit of cramping but it is not that bad. My flow is usually not that heavy as well. I don't know if there is something wrong with me because my Mom and doctor say that 28 days is the usual, and mine is very short compared to that. Please, tell me if this is normal.
Your mum and doctor are right 28 days is average but an adults cycle can be anywhere between 21 to 35 days and 21 to 45 days for young teens from the first day of one period to the first day of the next.
Have yours always been this length as they do seem rather short?
