Okay this is weird but still. I'm 13 and I usually have my period for 5 days maximum. This time, I masturbated and now my period has exceeded 8 days. I'm scared and I can't tell my mom coz then I'll be embarrassed to tell her that I masturbate. Please help!

Hi Starlight, You are only 13 sweety, your periods aren't regular yet. Masturbating has nothing to do with how long your period lasts. You will find that over the next couple of years, your periods will come at different times, you might miss your period one month, and have it for only 2 or 3 days the next month. As long as your not sexually active, you have no reason to worry about a missed period or an unusually long one. You are going through puberty and your hormone levels are fluctuating tremendously right now, and until they stabilize a bit your periods will be irregular. I hope this has helped ease your mind.

Thanks but I've had my periods for two years now. They should be regular by now, right?

Hey starlight,
I feel we have very similar situations and I am 23 and have had regular periods since I was 12. My periods usually last 5 days max and are typically pretty light. However, I had amazing sex on the very start of my period this month and today is the 8th day; It was unusually heavy for the first 7 days and now has become lighter but still persists. As this has never happened before and I feel as if I know the biology of my body very well, I have become quite worrisome, hence led me on this internet search. Hopefully with this post we can get more insight to a possible underlying reason!!
