7 to 10 days is a pretty normal cycle. Unless there's been a significant change (ie, way heavy flow or barely any) from your norm, I wouldn't be too concerned.
That said, though, if having a lengthy period bothers you, there is a birth control pill out there which has been designed to shorten cycles. I am personally a little wary of it, but it is out there as an option.

If it happens every month, yeah, go see a gyn. It's probably no big deal, but 8 days is a long time to have to deal with your period. Going on the pill usually reduces the length and severity of your period.

it depends.. are you on birthcontrol? could you possibly be pregnant? Has this happened before? More than liekly there is nothing wrong with you. Stress, anxiety, nerves.. and a 1000 other things can cause our cycles to be funny., I was on for a month one time... totally nasty and I hated it.. it was June. But I just came off depo and my cycle was messed up anyway!

Oh god no!!! I use to get my period for 11 days and i was perfectly healthy. It's a normal thing....just not for everybody. I went on birth control to regulate and shorten the days so thats an option if you aren't already on it. Just don't worry and Good Luck!!!!

You're fine! Don't worry about it at all, I usually get mine for about 7. Believe me, if you had a shorter period, then it woul be so heavy....gross...but, when they're spread out more it's not so bad.
