If it happens again, see a doctor. You may not feel super comfortable talking to your mom, but when it comes to serious health issues, you can't take the risk of not getting help just because you feel uncomfortable talking about it. You could always make a doctor's appointment by yourself, but if not, you'll have to tell your mom that you need to see a doctor. She may not always be easy to talk to, but she cares about you, and she wouldn't want you to risk your safety to avoid a conversation with her.
I wouldn't say it's normal, but i suppose it depends on how long you've been menstruating? Like if this is your first year or something then i guess i can understand, otherwise it seems rather odd to me. I recommend talking to your doctor about it, or school nurse, just to be safe.
In my experience, no.

s It depends. Is it the first time you get your period?
If it is, then I would say it's normal. It takes a few days until it stops.
But if it's not, then it's not normal. It's supposed to last 3 to 5 days.
I guess you should see a doctor.
My periods used to be around 2 weeks long and would come every few months. I talked to my mom and we went to the Dr. and she helped me. Now i'm on birth control and I have normal periods. I recommend seeing your Dr.
u That's not normal! The average period is only supposed to last a week at most. Please consult a doctor immediately!
no you should check the food you're eating. Mine are short, like 3 to 4 days max. Just workout or run. I can normally work mine off completely. So i never even get mine when i workout enough.
Well first I don't think it's tmi your period is natural. Anyways I would talk to your mom I know your not that close but this is very important because something is not right.
I believe, due to a very traumatic event, my period lasted about 11 days once, only once. So, it could be nothing, but better safe than sorry... Tell your mother.
So I'm gonna go ahead and tell you to talk to your doctor because no... they typically last 3-7 days depending on your body.
like is there just a little red in your discharge or are you still actually bleeding?
No, it's not normal. Most people range from 4 - 7 days.
That seems a bit long, maybe consult a doctor about this :/
You need to talk to your mom. It's not normal for it to last so long. Ask to see the gynecologist.
No sweetheart! it's not suppose to last that long. You should talk to a doctor or your mama.
Normally periods last for one week, sometimes a little less than a week. You need to visit a gynecologist.
no hun you need to see the doctor before you get a uturan infection. sorry about spelling
No. If you just started recently (past 6 months ) then you're just irregular. I've had 2 in one month & skipped some completely. You need to visit an OBGYN if this continues
Yeah, i've had it go to 15 days before and another 18.
Woah!! How could u survive that!
Please go to the doctor
