Let's be honest: The menstrual cycle is kind of a pain, but imagine if your periods are taking longer than usual
In fact, the normal cycle lasts from 2 to 7 days and if you see that the bleeding continues 2 days longer than usual, you should definitely know where this is coming from.
1. Congratulations, you might be pregnant!
Wait, didn't they say the number 1 sign of pregnancy is missing periods? Yes, this is true, but not in all cases. Lengthening periods can be a sign that you are pregnant and at the same time not feeling nauseous. Better yet, take a test!
2. The emergency pill is another reason!
Anything that manipulates hormones is likely to prolong the days of your period. If you have taken such a pill before your period, long menstrual cycle days await you!
Early miscarriages are much more common than you might think. Most women only find out they are pregnant when they miscarry. The only sign to understand? Extending periods!
4. You may have thyroid problems!
1 in 8 women suffer from thyroid dysfunction. Prolonged and very painful periods indicate that you may have thyroid problems.
5. Your body is preparing for menopause
Yes, getting older has a big impact on your periods too. Menopause, which technically means you've gone a full 12 months without a period, usually occurs in women around 50. At the beginning of this phase, you may notice that your periods come less often, but last for many days. /Telegraph/
