it may be normal for you. everybody's period lasts for diffront amounts of time. if you havent had it in a wile that may be why its lasted 8 days. and if you just started it that may be another reason.

I was in the middle of typing this and mine got bumped out:

Sorry, that "normal for you" crap doesn't work.

A normal menstrual period is between four and seven days long. Eight or nine is considered abnormally long; ten or more could indicate endometriosis, a condition where the lining of the uterus migrates outside it and attaches to other internal organs. I myself have nine-day periods; for years I was told, "That's normal for you," and only recently was I vindicated: it is absolutely not normal. Don't let your gyno or other health-care practitioner cop out by saying it is, because it isn't, especially if the flow is heavy and the cramps severe. In these cases, birth-control given properly can mitigate symptoms, the more safely in women under 40.
