I was just wondering when the witch shows up how long does she stay?
My AF is only 4 days but I was talking to Jessie ( my daughter) and she told me hers is 7 days!!! I was shocked because mine is so much shorter.

hi
mine stays for 6 - 7 days .
im waiting for mine to show up.
i always spot then it moves to med flow after a few hours of spotting.
i spotted yesterday red and nothing today.
feel like af is here with cramps and the diarreha but no bleeding at all today.
i don't know where my witch is at.
she did make her arrival at 12 dpo last month so i have to wait and see maybe she is trying to make another arrival at 12 dpo this month to. which will be tomorrow.

I just came off of bcp, but even before it wasnt bad at all (maybe slightly heavier in general). Light flow, medium flow, medium-light flow, light flow, spotting, spotting.

Mine usually last about 4 days as well. Spotting at 1st and 2-3 days of light flow and tapers off. I usually only need a panty liner, I never have heavy flow.

Mine is 6-7, but I usually just spot the last 2-3 days. 4 days of needing tampons, 2-3 of nothing really needed.

Anywhere from 4-8 days.  That doesn't even include the days of spotting.

I usually have her around for 3-4 days, then she packs up and hits the road.

Ever since I started I'd always been exactly 5 days (HHMML) w/o any spotting at all - it always came on full force with no warning at all.
Then I went on BC and would skip every other month (supposedly, you're supposed to be able to skip them altogether, but it never worked out that way with my body). When I did have it, though, it was still 5 days, but it was a bit lighter and I'd start out and end with spotting (*HMMLL*). When I started spotting, I knew to take out the ring and go ahead and let AF come (the first month I tried keeping the ring in to force AF to stay away but it backfired and I spotted for 5 days, I took the ring out, and had a 7 day AF).
Now, since coming off BC, I'll spot for 1 - 2 days, then have a light AF for 4 days and very very lightly spot again for a day or two (**LMLL**).

When I was younger my AF lasted 3-5 days. It was never longer than five days. Now, it lasts for about 10-11 days. Usually the last 3-4 days is just spotting but still it is starting to really annoy me.
I am really starting to think I have endometriosis or something because I have really painful periods too. I usually take 4 ibuprophen and I am still hurting.

Mine lasts about 5 days, Med to Heavy for the first 3 and spotting for the last two. Funny, I had a dream last night that AF is here, I get up in the morning and she is here! LOL
