Is it normal for my first period to last 3 days?

Yes, totally! It's super normal for your first period, and even your first few periods, to be really short, like 2 or 3 days. Some people bleed for a week or even a little longer, but a shorter period is completely normal too.

Your body is just figuring things out, you know? It's like a brand-new system getting set up, so it takes a little while to get into a rhythm. Your periods might even be really light at first, or skip a month here and there. This is all part of what doctors call "irregular periods" and it's totally common for the first year or two after you start.

Just keep track so you know what's typical for your body. You can use the Soso app to log how many days your period lasts and how heavy it is, and it helps you see your own patterns. Super helpful for figuring out what's normal for you!
