    My period has lasted for 1 week and a day and still counting!
    I started my period July the 18th, I am currently still having my period... its going on week 2... I started birth control July 8th and I have never had a period last this long... I was bleeding as if it was my regular period at first but now I'm just bleeding like I'm having a lite period... could it be lasting this long because of my birth control... or is something wrong? Thanks!

    It can be normal to be on your menses longer than other women. There isn't really a 'normal'. Every woman is different. I have a period every other month lightly for abut 2 days. :p jealous? ;)

    If you continue to bleed for another week, (2 weeks total) or if it gets so heavy that it is taking up a full pad each hour, (or a full tampon each hour) or if you get sharp stabbing pains or bad cramps in your lower abdomen, see your doctor.

    Good luck hon :) and relax. :)
