QUESTION BY SAGE

How long is my period

Soso AI

Okay so periods usually last anywhere from 2 to 7 days, but everyone is a little different. It's totally normal for your period to be shorter or longer, especially when you're just starting out.

What's typical?

Most people have periods that are around 3 to 5 days long. The first day or two can be heavier, and then it usually gets lighter towards the end. Your body is just shedding the uterine lining it built up, and it takes a few days for it all to come out.

Why it can be different

When you first start getting your period, your hormones are still figuring things out. So your cycles might be a little unpredictable for the first year or two. One month it might be 7 days, and the next it could be 4 days. That's super normal, so don't even worry about it.

If you're curious to see your own patterns, the Soso app can help you track how long your periods are and what's typical for you.
