Your mom may have only had her longest period for seven days, but that is not the case for everything. The average period lasts about 3 (lucky them!)to 8 days. I've had periods at times that lasted 9 days. Having a period last 5 days is perfectly normal.

Maybe your mom's period only lasts a few days, but many girls have periods that last 7-10 days and it's completely normal. For example, my period lasts 8-9 days, every time. Don't worry about it, you're fine!
♥ Hope I helped.

It's okay! Your first ones are always really wierd. It will go away. After a week and a 1/2 or so then maybe you might want to talk to your mom about it.

there is absolutly nothing to be troubled about. Your first like year or so going through periods is going to be off and on again because they are still irrgeular after all this is only number one... you may not have it again for a nother few years depending on how developed u r.... ive had mine and it hasnt come back since like 2 years ago its completely natural it all depends on how ur body reacts to the changes. Hope I heled

you could have your period for as long as 7 days...it can sometimes also be on and off....and you might get some stomach cramps....since its your first time getting it, it will probably be irregular and you should keep track of every time it comes so that you can be prepared...you've had it for 5 days so it should have lessened up....dont worry you'll be fine!...hope this helps

okay it is different for eveyrone like i have a friend who always has it for ten days, heavy everyday, and always has cramps, i have another friend who always has it five or less days, i know someone else who has it usually about a week at a time- my first time it only lasted three days but its usually been longer-- you cant tell anything by your first time... except that you have had it! it should be fine but if youre really worried you can always ask a doctor!
hope i helped!!

It should go away in about two days for most girls having your period for seven days is normal! Dont worry it will go away eventually.

don't worry about it unless it goes past 10 days that's how long my first period was.

Its your first period, they are always a little different than the rest. Its totally fine. Now if it last for like two weeks then go to a doctor.

Each person is different so you may have it for more or less days anyway. Periods are irregular for the first few years, so your first time is going to be VERY irregular since you've never had it before.

xosweetiepiexo answered Friday August 5 2005, 9:47 pm:
well i know someone who has it for 7 days.. its just how your body is.. not everyone is going to have their period at the same amount of days.. it depends on your body.. if it goes over 7 days then maybe you should be concerned.. don't worry its only your first time.. and its going to be different each time until your body gets used to it.. hope i helped

rockstarxlove answered Friday August 5 2005, 9:42 pm:
Well usually it lasts 3-5 days but not always. Dont worry it may be a little longer because your just starting. It will be irregular for a couple of years i think. Sometimes it lasts a whole 7 days or maybe longer. It really depends, but dont worry about it. It's normal.

Karen answered Friday August 5 2005, 9:37 pm:
That's not always true. Your period is going to be irregular, meaning you don't know when it'll come or how long it'll last. Nothing's going on, don't worry about it. It's your first period and it's normal to have it so far for five days. It may last for another day or two but no one knows for sure.

When you first get your period, the VERY first time, it can last up to 2 weeks. Yes, I know. It sucks. And for many women it varries. It can be from as little as 3 days to as many as 10 days as you start getting more and more periods. It's anything dangerous or something you should be concerned about that you've been getting it for more than 5 days. I get mine for a week. So just wait it out, it'll stop. It won't go on forever I promise.

You are perfectly normal. Some will last for 6-7 days and some 2-3. Unfortunately we don't have any way of knowing! You're okay. :)
