Menstruation usually lasts 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 8 days is considered normal. Having a shorter (or longer) period is nothing to worry about.

If your period only lasts 2 days what does this mean?

It simply means that this period was shorter than usual, if this continues over the next few cycles mention this to your doctor to make sure all is well.

What does it mean when you have two periods in one month?

Sometimes having 2 periods in one month is OK. If its because your cycle length was shortened It will usually happen in times of hormonal change such as high stress. I would not read to much into it unless it it happening all the time. Remember that a normal cycle is about 21 days and in the few months with 30 or more days it is very possible that you will get a second period that month. It has happened to me every now and then I'll get my period at the beginning of the month and lucky me by the end of the month I'm starting again! If your cycle is getting shorter and shorter I would talk to your doctor because they will know better than anyone what's going on in your body :) hang in there I know 2 periods in the same month sucks!! I hope this helped!! :)


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 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.
