It is nothing to be scared about. It is completely normal for a woman's period to get out of whack for no apparent reason. Imagine how hard it would be to regulate that stuff!! Being scared about it is probably what is making it continue. Relax and it will probably go away.
If it does continue, it still isn't necessarily anything to worry about. Could be a cyst has burst. Those a pretty common - not necessarily something cancerous. If you are that concerned, see your gynecologist, get an exam, pay the little copay and make yourself feel better.

You must have changed something in your diet or exercise. That or stress can screw up your cycle. I usually go for 3 to 4 days except when I quit working out for a bit, then they went for 7 sometimes 8 days. I'm back to the 3-4 day thing now.

yes, stress will do that. try to relax and calm down a bit and you will get it soon. if there is any chance that you could be pregnant then you should take a test and see your doctor, but if not then you just have to wait it out. try not to stress too much!

Yeah it can be stress. Also if you have done any excessive exercise or lifting but don't alarmed. As long as its not hurting a lot or have heavy blood clots.

Just be calm I know it's scary but this happened to me before and it was a cyst that needed to be scraped off my cervix and I was fine after that!
