    Yours is very normal. Everyone is different and the average is anywhere from 3-7 days.

    My periods last 7-8 days (the 8th day only being spotting mostly).

    Good luck :)

    Totally normal. The first period is usually light and short. Five and six days is perfectly normal dont worry. It can even last a week.

    when u first get ur period, it is usually very light. the next time you get it, it is more regular and for MOST people it lasts for 4-5 days. but sometimes it lasts longer but its normal because everybodys body is differrent
