Hi. My period was off 8 days from this of Sept.It was suppose to start Sept 9 but it didn't . It started on the 17th of Sept so I thought, 2 whole day of light dark blood. 2 (1/2) days of light bleeding then 2 days of spotting. Could I be pregnant? Normally I have 4 to 5 days of a full period.

Hi, so I got my period a little late this month and it only lasted 3 days. The first day was like a period with the cramping but the second and third day was more like spotting. My periods usually last 5 to 6 days. I have also had tenderness in my breast. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they have all come up negative also I am not in birth control. Could any of you give me advice?

@ jacey : I am in a similar situation. I am not on birth control, but I had a short period since the last time I had sex. I haven't had sex since before my period, but I feel like I'm pregnant! It's only been like 3 weeks since my period, so I don't think I would show positive on a pregnancy test yet. Have you gone to the doctor yet?

@ jacey : Hi Jacey, I'm in the same situation! I had sex the day before my period, and started the next day. But it only lasted about 3 days. It's been 3 weeks, and I'm scarred I might be pregnant, but I don't think it will show up positive yet. Have you missed your period yet??

@ Cheryl : If possible, i do recommend you to appoint a medical visit to rule out possible serious problems. Fluctuations in estrogen levels, rigorous exercise, stress, eating disorder, weight loss, etc. may contribute to a short period.

@ Ana Grimes : At your age that's completely normal. You shouldn't wear a tampon for 8 hours, change it everytime you use the restroom, I suggest you wear a pad until you're a little older.

@ LauraSmith : you dont need to change everytime you use the bathroom just make sure if its heavy change more and dont leave one in for more than 8 hours

Hi , my usual period is from 6-8 days and this month I only had it for 2 days. Is that normal? Should I be worried? I'm 15 years old.

@ Leslie : hi, it is common that young girls will have some kind of irregularity on periods for the beginning. If you don't have some other symptoms associated, like strong odor, itchiness, then you don't have concern.
