Um, well, I started my period on march 29th, and had a normal flow until April 1st. It then became very light, not quite spotting. It stayed that way till yesterday, when it got about medium flow with a few clots. It then stopped for the night, and came back earlier today. It was still light, but there was a bit more blood. It carried on like this throughout the day, getting lighter then a tiny bit heavier, on and off. This is the 8th day of my period now, and its never lasted this long before. I just started getting periods in november. I'm nervous. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? I'm also having light cramps. I am a virgin, so I'm defiantly not pregnant. Please help!
Hi honey! NOTHING is wrong, unfortunately when you start getting your periods it can take upto 3 years for them to regulate! That's why I ALWASY tell young girls to carry protection with them at ALL times! As it can be on the 29th one month and then show up 2 weeks later, then go away for 2 months then back! It is up and down for ages, so just hang in there and carry pads with you ALL the time OK? It sucks, but it's normal - unfortunately!!! Good luck honey!
Thanks. I was just a bit worried since it hasn't been like this before. At least its not heavy. Hopefully it'll end soon. :D
Ask any female that is older than you and they will tell you THE horror story of being caught off guard at a young age! Listen to your body's signals and if you feel cramping be ready OK? It will balance out, just depends, also if you have any sisters and your mom ask them when they started etc. IF you all live in the same house you will have the same cycles!!!!! 8-| o.O So that's another indicator too|!
...I'm kinda going through the same thing, except I've had this ongoing since October 2010...ive been told it's just irregular, but I was regular from 2007-2010 and randomly missed 5 months and started back up in October. If it last a month or more, please go get it checked...it's terrifying once you hit the 4 month mark. Good luck
My period started six days ago. This is the longest it's ever lasted, but it's not my regular flow, I'm just spotting. I've never had spotting before. What does it mean?
