I got my period 4 days early and it lasted for 7 days?

Question

it usually only lasts 4 or 5 days and is usually pretty regular. It was also a little lighter than usual. What could this be?

Answer 1

Periods can be irregular due to stress, a change in diet, and various other things.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

If your period was like...two weeks late and lasted for over a week--then you would have something to worry about.

Answer 2

Nothing out of the ordinary to be sure. Menstrual cycles can change. Having the cycle start earlier by a few days and to last longer than usual is totally okay.
