Is it abnormal that my period only lasts for four days? It is really heavy the first two days, but after that... it is like I am not even on the rag! Is this normal or should I be worried....or feel lucky ;]

Menstruation
This is the elimination of the thickened uterine lining from the body via the vagina. Menstrual fluid contains blood, cells from the uterine lining (endometrial cells) and mucus. The average length of a period is between three days and one week, depending on the individual. Sanitary pads or tampons are used to absorb the menstrual flow. Both pads and tampons need to be changed regularly, at least every four hours. Tampon use has been associated with an increased risk of a particularly rare illness called toxic shock syndrome.

That's actually good. It's maybe because you drink a lot of water or take vitamins. Those things really help you during your period.
