how long do your periods last?

so my first post was about me possibly being pregnant because i had sex on the first day of my period...but here is another question.  i am curious for girls/women, i guess can only answer...

how long has your longest period been and how short has your shortest period lasted? with and without sex or whenever...curious about the ranges for dates.

my normal longest one was about 7 days
my shortest one is about the one i described earlier with it being 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 days, with sex on the period possibly being a factor.

and before that it was 2 1/2 to like 4 days maybe with it being the shortest normal one.

I don't BD during AF... that one time was a mistake because I thought I was done with AF since there wasn't any more bleeding.

My periods at the beginning were like 10 days and ended up being around 5 days, starting out really heavy and ended in the last 3 days with some spotting. I don't ever have sex on my period, so not sure about that.

My shortest was like 4-5 days and that was my average and then the month I actually conceived it was 9!  Go figure!

sounds like what i'm kind of going through. yeah, i'm probably not pregnant and i'm just worrying about it too much cuz everything around me seems to be having bad luck and crumbling down, this would just be the cherry on top if i were to be.

did u spot that much because you had sex during your period?

I had spotting last month that lasted for TWO WHOLE WEEKS! It was crazy. I still don't have a clue what that was about. The shortest period was probably a day or two.

I actually stopped spotting about 9 days or so into that two weeks spotting episode I just mentioned. So DH and I got "busy" and I ended up starting to bleed again. But it was just VERY light.

from 2 days to 5 days.  Stress makes your cycle bugg a little sometimes.  Good Luck.
