Some women experience bleeding that lasts more than seven consecutive days and at a volume greater than 80cc. Of course, exactly how much you are bleeding during your period is very difficult to quantify.

Some women experience bleeding between periods. Others experience both excessive bleeding and bleeding between periods.

Women can also experience abnormally short period cycles (every 21 days or less) and abnormally long period cycles (every 35 days or more).

If you experiencing any of these symptoms, call your doctor and set up an appointment.
