A member asked:
I had light bleeding one day and by the night it was heavier. it lasted about 5 or 6 days after. was this my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A bleed for 5-6 days does sound like a period. It's normal for there to be some fluctuation from day to day in terms of the amount of bleeding. Are you on a 25-30 day cycle? That would be a normal cycle length as well.
