The average menstrual cycle is about 28 days long, but it can be as short as 21 days or as long as 35 days. A "normal" menstrual cycle is one that is regular and that doesn't cause a lot of pain or other problems.
Most women have their period for about 3-5 days, but it can last for up to 7 days. The amount of blood lost during a period also varies from woman to woman. It's normal to lose between 2 and 6 tablespoons of blood during your period.
