How long does AF last?


So ladies ... once the arrives, how long is she with you for?

Reason im asking is ive noticed over the last year or so she is with me for less and less. It used to be 5 days or so, now i only get 2 days full flow and shes gone after 3/4 days.

Has anyone else experienced this kinda thing?

Mine have always been fairly light, short and pain free - lucky you I hear ya holla!

2 to 2.5 days from start to finish. Only ever need to use normal absorbency lilets and nothing at night - dont like leaving them in over night but when I'm laid down there isnt enough for even a liner. Doesnt really get to the stage of 'flowing'. Brown to Red then back to browny red - sorry if TMI!

Thats it in a nut shell!!

hi there, dont know if this will help, but I recently came off the implant and I am guessing that this month was the first 'normal' period I have had, and it lasted 12 days!! Yes 12 days, from start to finish, this means that I am very close to ovulating as sson as I finish ( I think) so lots of ppl are different.Good luck!! Candice xx
