Unusual period?

Question

My girlfriend is scared from her period this month. Her periods are usually 3-4 days and relatively light. The night of the 4th day this time around she experienced heavy bleeding...more than she has ever noticed before. We were wondering what this could be.

Answer 1

It happens - hormones are a funny thing. As long as she is not soaking a maxi pad every hour, or experiencing pain she should be OK. If this cycle lasts for more then 10 days she should contact her GYN.

Answer 2

If she can go three hours without changing her pad or tampon and it doesn't last more than 10 days she should be fine.

Even people with clockwork cycles have discrepancies sometimes.

Answer 3
