Hi there... Im not on the pill, my period has been regular for the last 6/7 months now, but I have had a period for longer than two weeks now? I never even had period pain, and it started a week after my normal period finnished? Should I be worried?

I've had this problem a few times in my life, and it's definitely a reason to see a doctor. It might be something as simple as the muscles that normally contract and flush out the uterine lining just aren't doing their job - or it could be a sign of something more severe. The last time it happened to me, I had cysts in my left ovary that were bursting, so I had to go through emergency surgery to remove that ovary. (I was also in mind-numbing pain at that time, so if you aren't in severe "I can barely think" pain, that probably isn't the case.) Once the reason behind your longer than normal flow is diagnosed, your doctor can give you your options to make it stop.
Good luck!
