Well, your period usually doesn't just stop all at once, you know? It gradually decreases, and the color of the blood might change too. At the beginning and end of your period, the flow tends to be lighter. This is normal and happens because the blood stays inside longer before exiting, causing the iron to oxidize upon contact with air and turn darker, like brown or rusty.
Keep an eye on the color and amount of blood. If the flow is very light and more on the brown side, it's a good sign that your period is ending. Most girls bleed between 3 and 7 days, but this can vary a lot from person to person, and especially in the first few years after your first period, your cycles might be a bit irregular.
To help you understand YOUR cycle better, the SosĂ´ app can help you track when your period starts and ends, and over time you'll get a feel for knowing when yours is about to end! You can track your daily flow to monitor it closely.
