not abnormal just thank whoever that you are getting off so lightly lol <P>Normal duration is about 3 to 5 days for most women although some women are 2 days and some unfortunate women are over a week. Periods often change patterns depending on age/ stage of life.

<P>If there is any possibility of pregnancy and you are used to having longer periods, it is worth having a pregnancy test. Some women continue to get some bleeding every month during pregnancy, but this can also be a sign of problems or potential miscarriage.

<P>Hormonal Birth Control methods can shorten periods and that is why they are used by women who bleed too often or too long or too heavily.</P>

<P>If you have only 3 days a month, feel blessed. But if those 3 days are so heavy you are hesitant to go to school or work, then see a gynecologist or at least a family doctor. My teen daughter found that exercising, especially in the middle of her cycle before PMS started and eating well helped her be regular and less heavy.

<P>My mom always said to write on the calendar when periods started and stopped and use a code to record how light or heavy. It is easy to show a doctor a calendar then give vague answers to "When was your last period and how long did it last?" (I can seldom remember on my own.) It sure helps during reproductive years as well when you are not regular and think you might be pregnant.</P>

What does it mean if a period only last three days?

If a period only lasts three days, it may not be a period at all. However, some women have relatively short periods that only last 3-4 days anyway.


You started your period today how long will it last?

Most women have a period that lasts anywhere from five to seven days. Now there are exceptions to this. Sometimes they will last as long as ten days, and I've heard of really lucky women who's period only lasted three days. But the average is between the five and seven day range. If your period lasts longer than ten days, say 13-14 days you probably should call your Dr. That is a long time, and if you do this on a regular bases, it can be hard on you physically and emotionally.
