get on a birth control pill or y doctor gave me provera> IT controls your period but it is not a birthcontrol pill. You take it at the same time once a month and for only 5 days. Then you will have your period. For me it was 5 days. I can have my period for a whole month so my doctor but me on it. Ask your doctor to see if it is right for you.

Every woman is different. My periods until I was about 22-23 were never consistent; some light, some heavy, some lasting a few days, sometimes lasting 10 days. Since the age of 22-23 my periods last about 8 days. They are so bad the first 2 days, like you I have to change my tampon every hour or so. After two days I can wear a light flow tampon for a few hours. Some people will say if you are bleeding that much there is something wrong. From what the OB/gyn said (about my health), there is nothing wrong with me, some woman just get bad bad bad periods. If you would like your periods to be lighter, consistent, and not very long, you could opt for birth control. Did you ever consider the pill? Otherwise, you are stuck with the joys of womanhood. When it comes to periods, your body just does its own thing.

I don't know a way to shorten it or skip it but mine only last about 3-4 days sometimes 5 at the most. That sucks 8 days wow I would hate to have it for 8 days.

Mine lasts 4 days. Then I don't get one for 13 weeks. Kinda freaky. Good thing I'm not sexually active. . . I'd really be worried, then.
But my periods are all weird because I have a severe vitamin deficiency known as Pyroluria. I would not wish this condition on anyone. . . even if it shortens my periods and takes over 3 months for the next period to come.
I'd welcome a regular monthly period, any day.

Well, if you want to swim you can wear a tampon. As for how long 8 is normal. Normal range is anywhere from 2 to 8. Also, you could go on a birth control to make it shorter.

Mine has always been about 4-5 days and moderate to light, but I've known some women who have it real heavy and with bad cramps. I've heard that some forms of birth control, like the pill or the shot can help, but it'd be best for you to talk to your doctor about what's best for *you*. Everyone's body works and reacts differently to it.
