A member asked:
I have had a period for 8 days is that normal? it was moderate for the first 3 days then turned to spotting brown and pink for the last 5 days

It can be considered: normal, especially if it is just once in a while. Most periods last from 3-5 days, but anywhere from 2-7 days is considered normal. If it's another day from time to time, that's not a problem. The type of spotting you describe is very common as the menstrual flow lessens. If you have other changes with your cycle...shortened or lengthened cycle, breakthrough or prolonged bleeding, see your Doctor
