Okay so I've gotten REALLY mixed opinions on this which is why I decided to ask a larger audience. I'm 15, NB but afab (obviously..), and typically have very heavy periods. As in, bleeding through an ultra tampon in a few hours (usually 2-3). My periods typically last around 8 days and don't have any complications, I'm on birth control for my hormones if that changes anything.
This time around, my period has been 11 days. The bleeding is light right now so i'm using a much lower absorbency, but I'm kind of concerned since it's over what my periods typically last...and I'm pretty sure over a week isn't very "normal", per say. I'm going to bring it up to my guardian and see what they say abt it, see if they'll talk to my doctor or whatevs. But I just want a second opinion right now to know if I'm overreacting and it's normal or if I should genuinely be concerned.
