No that's the attention span of a man's brain, should he choose to use it. They are more like a test match in cricket and can go on relentlessly for days. At the end of this no one is the wiser to what was going on.
NO!!

I wish they only lasted 30minutes, not the bloody 7/8 days i usually have to put up with!! Oh well. in an ideal world!
Never.
Since you seem to have no clue.all the lights are on, but you are still in the dark:
What is a Menstrual Cycle?
The menstrual cycle is how a woman's body prepares for the possibility of pregnancy each month. Your menstrual period is just one part of this cycle. A cycle's length is determined by counting from the first day of one period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. However, a cycle can range anywhere from 23 days to 35 days.
What Happens During the Menstrual Cycle?
During the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from the ovaries. While the egg is traveling down the fallopian tubes and towards the uterus, the uterus is building up a lining that consists of extra blood and tissue. The lining of the uterus will thicken and, if pregnancy occurs, blood vessels in the lining will enlarge to nourish the growing fetus.
If the egg becomes fertilized by a sperm cell, the egg will attach itself to the uterine wall and a fetus will begin to develop. If the egg goes unfertilized, the thick lining that builds up during the menstrual cycle is not needed and is shed during your period. The unfertilized egg either dissolves or is absorbed into the body. After the period ends, a new menstrual cycle begins.
What is A Period?
A period is a part of the menstrual cycle when the thick uterine lining and extra blood are shed through the vaginal canal. Periods can be light, moderate, or heavy, and the menstrual blood that is shed can range from a few tablespoons to a 1/2 cup per period. This can vary from girl to girl, and it can vary from period to period for the same girl. Many girls experience a light flow for the first day or two, then a heavier flow, followed by another light day. Some girls have a heavy flow on the first day. For the first few years after you start menstruating, your period may be very irregular. How old is a girl when she gets her first period? In the United States, the average age a girl starts menstruating is 12. However, this does not mean that all girls start at the same age. A girl can begin menstruating anytime between the ages of 8 and 16. Menstruation will not occur until all parts of a girl's reproductive system have matured and are working together. This time in a young womans life is called "puberty."
How Long Should My Period Last?
Because all girls are different, menstrual periods can vary from girl to girl. One girl might have a 3-day period and another girl might have a 7-day period. It might take several years for a girl's period to become regular. One month the period might last 4 days, whereas the next month it might be 6 days. Some women experience irregular periods for several years and might not ever be "regular." Some doctors will prescribe birth control pills to help regulate your menstrual cycle. Talk to your doctor to find how you can regulate your cycle if it is irregular.
When Should I Change My Pads or Tampons During My Period?
Sanitary napkins (pads) should be changed as often as necessary, before the pad is soaked with menstrual flow. Each woman decides for herself what is comfortable. Tampons should be changed every 4 hours. Make sure that you use the lowest absorbency of tampon available. For example, do not use super absorbency on the lightest day of your period. This can put you at risk for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but potentially deadly disease. The risk of TSS can be lessened or avoided by not using tampons, or by alternating between tampons and pads during your period. If you experience any of the following symptoms while you are menstruating and using tampons, you should contact your doctor immediately:
Sudden, unexplained, high fever
Muscle aches
Diarrhea
Dizziness and/or fainting
Sunburn-like rash
Sore throat
Bloodshot eyes
Does Having My Period Mean I Can't Have Any Fun?
Absolutely not! Your period should not affect your daily activities. You can continue to exercise, swim, bike ride, and have fun. Some girls and women even find that exercising while they are having their menstrual period reduces or prevents stomach cramps and discomfort.
How Do I Know When to Expect My Next Period?
The easiest way to figure out when your period is going to begin is to keep track of it on a calendar. Mark the first day of your period each month. Now count the days between periods. Beginning with the first day you marked and count to the second day you marked. Do this for a few months and then you will be able calculate how many days there usually are between your periods. This will help you prepare yourself for your period and keep you from being surprised.
What does it mean if I skip a period?
There are several reasons why you might skip a period one month:
Age - If you have just started having your period, it might not come every month.
If you are an older woman who is approaching menopause, (when your periods stop), you might also skip a period.
Exercise - Excessive exercise might cause you to skip a period.
Stress - Stress and highly emotional times in your life may cause you to miss a period or two.
Illness - If you are sick, you might also miss a period.
If you miss more than a period or two (if you have been having regular periods previously), contact your health care provider.
Why would I stop having my period?
The absence of a menstrual period is called Amenorrhea. This condition describes women who have not had a period in their teenage years or women who used to have a regular period that has stopped. There are several causes for Amenorrhea:
Pregnancy is the most common reason for a woman to stop having her menstrual period
Breastfeeding
Extreme weight loss that can be caused by serious illness, eating disorders, or excessive exercising
Gland problems (pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal)
Reproductive problems
If your period has not started by the age of 16, or if you have stopped having your period, while you are still young, contact your doctor.
Will I have a period for the rest of my life?
No. A woman will no longer be able to reproduce once she reaches menopause. Menopause occurs around the age of 50. Menopause means that a woman is no longer ovulating (producing eggs) and therefore can no longer become pregnant. Like menstruation, menopause can vary from woman to woman and may take several years to occur.
How do I know if I need to see a doctor about my period?
You should consult your doctor for the following:
If you have not started menstruating by the age of 16
If your period has suddenly stopped
If you are bleeding for more days than usual
If you are bleeding excessively
If you suddenly feel sick after using tampons
If you bleed between periods (more than just a few drops)
If you have unbearable pain during your period
sometimes I think a football game lasts longer than a period, lol! Maybe even as exciting too.... j/k
we wish!
