Well I just got my period and my mom said that when I go to the doctor That they will ask how long my period is? Does that mean how many days it lasted? And what is the difference between a light and heavy period? I'm new to this! But is there anything else I need to no like what else they might ask? (link)

When they ask how long your period is that means how long your periodS are. Not just this one but others as well. Keep a calender of your periods to help you track how long they last and also about when you get them. A heavy flow is when you bleed well heavey. When you bleed heavy that means maybe you'll have to change your pad a lot sooner and there's going to be a lot of blood in there. A heavy flow can also bleed through your clothes. A light flow is when it starts out as spotting, little drops of blood in your underware or pad, and you'll find that that there is a small amount of blood. The docters may ask how often you change your pad and how regular you are, meaning do you get it every month. Unless your sexually active its okay for you to miss a month or two for the first few years you have your period because your bodies changing. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me later on:) Good wishes to you dear:)
