It’s been a ton I’ve been having it for 4 days now

Okay, so it sounds like you're talking about your period and that it's been pretty heavy, and going on for four days, which can feel like a super long time. Periods are just like that sometimes, especially when you're first starting out.

What's normal?

So, the average period lasts anywhere from like 2 to 7 days, and it's totally normal for some days to be heavier than others. In the first year or two after your period starts, cycles can be really all over the place, and that includes how long they last and how heavy they are. One period might be light and only last a few days, and the next one could be heavy and hang around for a week. Your body is still figuring things out, and that's totally okay.

What you can do

If you're feeling like it's a lot, make sure you're changing your pad or tampon regularly, like every 3-4 hours or so, to stay comfy and fresh. Keeping track of how many products you're using can also help you see if it's changing over time. And don't forget to drink plenty of water and eat good food, especially stuff with iron, because you're losing a little bit when you bleed. If you're feeling tired, that's normal too.

If you're soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for several hours in a row, or if you're feeling super dizzy or weak, that's a good time to tell a trusted grown-up so they can help you figure out what's up. Just in case. The Soso app can help you track when your periods start and stop, and how heavy they are so you can see your own patterns.
