Mine is normally around for about 3 days. This time it arrived Wednesday night and has pretty much gone today, so if we count Wednesday it would be 6 days. That's the longest EVER for me Super light too. Which is normal for me.

Oh I'm jealous!

My periods usually last 6-8 days. Prior to my losses I would spot for 3 days, then bleed for 3, and then have really light flow- spotting for a day or two.

After my losses I don't get my 3 days of spotting as a warning I just start bleeding. It's so irritating! My periods have been super heavy too and then just stop. I'm curious to see if this evens back out in time. It's only been 4 months since my D&C and 2 months since my chemical pregnancy...

mine is usually 5 days or so. This last one was weird though. It started on Mar 6th with brown discharge and major cramping and me being exceptionally moody then a little discharge on Sunday then light bleeding on monday and very little on tuesday and then nothing.
This was my 3rd period since my loss last november 2009.

Well while on BCP they would range 5-7 days very light. After the pill still about 5-7 days but alot heavier. We shall see what she brings after a loss. I will be happy with the 5-7 days seeing as I have a history of majorly irregular period. Ya know the ones where you dont have one for a year then bleed heavy for 2 months... blah!

Normal for me is Medium on day one and light days two and three - almost don't have to wear anything but a panty liner in the afternoon of days two and three. I didn't ever really have a period before the loss - I was on Depo provera for 12 years.

strangely, after my m/c, my periods are a lot more tolerable.... even more tolerable than the periods I used to have while on BCP. I have maybe 1 or 2 heavy days... and then it's over at day 4 or 5. It used to last 7... Not really complaining.. if anything, I'm worried that something might be off.

I'm really lucky - mine last 3 days. I'm so grateful that they aren't longer.

3-5 and I have unusual spotting a couple days before that the RE says isn't normal... but it sorta is for me, like a "warning" that AF is coming. I don't count those days tho
