How long does your AF last?

lnyost · June 2011

It seems like mine has been lasting from 5-7 days, with the last day or 2 just brown blood. I remember when I was on BC, it was a nice, fast 3 days. Just curious to know how long yours last? TIA

mine is usually like 6 days with the 1st or sometimes 2nd day of just spotting and the last day of just spotting so more like 5 days

In the past I have run 4-5 days but lately its about 3...

3 days total usually. Day 1 normal, day 2 super heavy, day 3 spotting then done.

I have 2 days brown spotting (working with acupuncturist to stop this) 1 day meduim, 1 day heavy, 1 day light, 1-2 day spotting

SO... 6-7 days

About 7 days. First 2 days are really heavy then 2 days of medium then 3 days of light then maybe on day 8 I have spotting.

Depends. On my monster 75-100 day + cycles, it's 7-10 days. On bcp, meaning a shorter cycle, it's 5-7 days. It's also super heavy. Just wonderful actually...

7 if you include spotting. It would break down as 2 days of super heavy, 3 days medium, 1 day light, 1 day spotting.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you working to stop the brown spotting. Is it bad to spot? I ask because I spot at the end. Thanks

Mine used to be 8+ days, but since starting all the meds it has calmed now to a manageable 5 days.

I'm glad you asked this

I was curious as well. Off BCP, mine are 7-10 days. They've been heavier than usual lately, but my cycles have also been 10-15 days longer than usual. I'm glad there are others in that range out there.

Mine usually last about 4-5 days.

BorderGirl · June 2011

9-10. ugh! I hate it!

huskymomma94 · June 2011

I'm lucky--mine is about the same as it was on bcp (3 days).

This is pretty much me as well.

Before starting IF treatments, it was 5 days. After starting IF treatments, it has been 4 days. I'll take that.

Before bc 14 days talk about annoying! Post BC 5-8TTC Now 2-3 I think my body is severly screwed upMy DR told me the brown is just dried or leftover blood from your AF not to worry about it

Mine is basically the same.
