Menstruations vary: It is typical for the duration of menstruation to vary some from cycle to cycle. The time from start of a cycle to the next should be pretty similar. If your bleeding becomes excessive, going through many more pads a day than usual or lasting much longer than expected, contact your gynecologist for further evaluation as there might be a uterine problem such as fibroids.
