How long does your AF last?

[Samsgirl]

been off pill since september and my periods are still very light.........started yesterday and is more or less finsihed today except a bit when i wipe....

It's worrying me a bit to be honest cos i can't possibly be creating enough womb lining for a little bean to snuggle into you, cos hardly anything is coming away! xx

Ive never heard any evidence to support the fact that if you bleed less you are less fertile or produce less eggs - this is the first i've heard of it.

I know girls who go for 2 weeks with very heavy totm and unfortunately cant fall pregnant.

And yes, the pill does make totm lighter - alot of ppl go on the pill only to make it lighter - my 14yr old SIL for example, she's not sexually active but has been prescribed the pill because her periods are so heavy it disturbs her in school.

i seem to remember something at school about it only being about a tablespoon of blood etc you shed during your period and that there's other stuff in there too so wouldnt' worry about it - everyone's different

Mine normally lasts about 5-7 days and recently got really heavy at the start.. and i get the brown discharge on the last two days. x
