My period normally only lasts for four days tops. But it's been going on for over a week, I'm not on birth control. It's not a heavy flow, it's just a dark red. Is there something that be causing this? I'm just kind of over it.

Hello, Marie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you've having. Has it stopped, yet?

A normal length period is actually considered anywhere from 3 to 10 days, anything shorter or longer is considered abnormal and should be checked out by your doctor. This can sometimes happen due to a hormonal imbalance.

When was your last pap smear?
