A member asked:
4th day of period. lighter on this day than normal. used tampon briefly,3hrs later no bleeding. neg preg test. period usually 6-8 days. what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Absolutely nothing abnormal about a four day period that starts when it is scheduled. Actually, it is not the norm to bleed for 8 days. If the shift bothers you or you are concerned about being pregnant, that is easy to fix... Get a urine pregnancy test, but I do not think it is indicated.
