How long does an average menstrual period last?

The average menstrual period is around 5-7 days in length, and can very a little from cycle to cycle. As long as your period doesn't go over 14 days it's fairly normal, if it does go longer then see your doctor.


The average length of the menstrual cycle?

The typical menstrual cycle length is around 28 days long, but everyone is different. Menstrual cycles will not always be the same length, up to a weeks variation from your average cycle is normal.


Is it more or less likely to get pregnant while on your period?

Less likely, but still possible. A woman can only get pregnant if she has sex either during ovulation or up to a week before ovulation when there is fertile quality cervical mucus present - this helps keep the sperm alive for up to 7 days and helps it to swim up through the cervical opening. During an average 28 day cycle a woman will be fertile between days 7-16 (ovulation on day 14, there can be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours) - by the time a woman menstruates the egg from the last cycle is long dead, and she cannot ovulate during menstruation. However if a woman's menstrual cycle is short she may ovulate soon after menstruation, thus if she was to have sex during her period sperm could survive up to 7 days, by which time she may have ovulated and thus she may get pregnant.


What does it mean when you come on your period twice in one month?

It means just that - you came on your period twice in one month - it's no more complicated than that. If this was your period, and not your period plus some other vaginal bleeding caused by something else, then it is normal to bleed twice in one month occasionally. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days and as most months have more than 28 days if your cycle is this long or shorter you will see yourself bleeding twice in some months.


What does it mean if your 2 days late for your period?

It doesn't mean anything - unless you use fertility awareness method you cannot know for certain when your period is due, you can oly predict when your period is due based on past cycles. Anything up to a weeks variation from your average menstrual cycle length is considered totally normal. As long as there's no risk of pregnancy there's no reason to worry about a few days 'late' from when you were expecting your period - if there is a risk of pregnancy then take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.
