I'm 18 and have been getting my period since I was 12... The longest I've ever had it has probably only been about 7 days, but usually it's only 4 - 5. I was on the pill for about 6 months, then went off it. I started taking it about 3 weeks ago, as I knew I was due to get my period about 2 weeks ago. I didn't want to have my period as I have my end of year exams at the moment and didn't want cramping or anything during them.
I started taking my pill about a week before I was due, but my period came anyway on the 15th. It's now the 26th and I still have it, and continued taking my pill up until today as a friend suggested that might somehow be causing a prolonged period.
My cramps have been quite bad, and it's really offputting during the exams and my study, please help! Should I be worried about it?
