A longer, heavier period can indicate a luteal phase defect and/or lack of progesterone. You might talk with your DR concerning a progesterone regiment. This can make your cycles easier and shorter.

Also, a heavier/longer period can indicate an early missed miscarriage. If in doubt, check with your Dr who can give you an early ultrasound and blood test to see what is going on.

It can also be a uterine fibroid.

Is it normal to have period for more than 9 days?

Some people have periods that last for 2 weeks, however a week-9 days is more average. If your period does not normally last for 9 days, then you should speak to your doctor about it


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.


Why is your period lasting more than 8 days?

It could signify a hormone imbalance, if you are in pre or perimenopause. It's quite normal as your hormones shift to have irregular periods and periods that last a long time with heavy bleeding/clotting. If you go through more than one pad in an hour's time, or if you have clots the size of a baseball or larger, you should contact your OB/GYN.


What is the mean of a couple days?

The phrase "a couple days" typically means 2 days. This is more than one day, but less than a few days. This is a more vague way to say 2 days, so it should be considered lightly. If someone promises something in a couple days, give them at least 3 days before checking in.


Are you more liekly to have a boy if you get preg after yourt period?

There is no scientific research that supports that you can influence the sex/gender of your baby by having sex at a specific time or in a specific way. You are however more likely to get pregnant after your period because you will begin to ovulate shortly after your period ends.

What do you think if my period last for 1 to 2 days and my usual cycle is monthly or 5 days more than a month and now on second day i see dark brown blood what is the reason?

It is not unusual for a period to last for just a few days and to have a cycle that is more than 28 days per month. It is also not unusual to see dark brown blood during a period. As the menstrual cycle ends, the blood tends to be darker because it is old and being expelled more slowly. Many women have a menstrual cycle that is 35 days in length rather than 28.


4days before your period should you take a test?

Hello, You can perform a pregnancy test 4 days before your period if you wish but the test will be more accurate when you are a few days late for your period. Or alternatively test 3-4 weeks after you last had unprotected sex and the test will be accurate.


Is there more blood when you first start your period and how long does it last?

Everyone is different but your period will come out quite heavy at first (when you start) and then it will get lighter every day you have it until it is gone or at least until it comes back next month then it will just be light everyday. A period can last anything from 3 - 7 days but in extreme cases 10 days! Hope that helped!
