I really feel for them... :/
Well... between the ages of 12 and 20, my period lasted 7 to 9 days—usually closer to 9—and my cycle was about 21 to 23 days. Sometimes it felt like I was bleeding more than I actually was, yet all my medical tests came back perfectly normal without any issues. The only silver lining was that I didn't experience any PMS at all, and the flow was actually pretty light. Switching to the pill was a total game changer for me.
