Is it normal for your period to last longer than normal?

[Anonymous]

I recently became sexually active, I'm not on any birth control pills, or I'm not on any medication. This is going on day ten, what the heck is going on? It is a lot less blood than before but still enough to where I have to wear a pad tampon, and it still looks as if ima be on it for at least 2 or 3 more days. I don't want to go to the hospital unless I know for sure this isn't normal. Is it? Should I be worried?

I you meant the words of your title, you've answered your own question. "Is it normal for your period to last longer than normal?" - If it's "normal", how can it last longer than "normal"?

When you lose your virginity, your period may be delayed and even lengthened. This happened to girls when I've taken their virginity. It's very normal and you should only be concerned if your period last excessively long. Perhaps give it until the 2-week mark and then consider seeing a physician.

No it isn't unless you get heavy periods. And it sucks I know. Well my doc said it can happen due to hormonal change/imbalance
