Should I bleed on day 3 of my 2nd period?

Yup, bleeding on day 3 of your second period is totally normal because periods last a few days, so you're still in the middle of it. Most periods last anywhere from 2 to 7 days, so day 3 is definitely still period time.

First periods and even the ones right after can be a bit all over the place. Like, you might bleed for a few days, then a little less, then a bit more, and then it stops. Your body is still figuring out this whole period thing, and it takes time to get into a regular rhythm. It's really common for the first year or two for periods to be pretty unpredictable in how long they last and how heavy they are.

You can keep track of how long your periods are and how heavy the flow is, because that can help you see your own patterns. You might notice that some days are heavier than others, and that's super normal!

If you want to keep track of your periods and see what's normal for your body, the Soso app is great for logging when your period starts and ends, and even how you're feeling each day.
