Sounds like your period.  From what you describe this happened on the 23rd day of your cycle.  3 days + 2 weeks + 6 days as you have explained it.\nNo worries.

Well, I'm a nurse and would love to know if anyone out there has found a way. I've had my period since my 8th birthday. Yep my 8th birthday. It sucked. The only thing that I have came up with is the last day of my period I always feel gross so I'll fill up the bathtub with water and lay down. Then start sucking the water in me and pushing it out til the water comes out clean. Then get up and take a shower. YES MEN WE CAN DO THAT! Interesting isn't it? lol \nAnyway If I do that it cleans me out and I don't spot no more. It doesn't work on the 2nd to last day it has to be the last day for me. I always have a 5 day period.\nWhy not just douche? Because those have chemicals in them that I don't want in me. They are also not as effective.

A woman ovulates 14 DAYS BEFORE HER PERIOD STARTS. There are two phases to the menstrual cycle, the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The folicular phase occurs before ovulation, luteal phase after. The follicular phase is variable in length, but the luteal phase is almost ALWAYS 14 days. So you need to work out how long your cycle is. If it was 28 days, you would ovulate on day 14, and your most fertile time would be days 12-16. But if your cycle was 32 days, you would ovulate on day 18 and your fertile time would be days 16-20.\n\nIt's very important that in working out your expected time of ovulation you count BACKWARDS from when your period is due, rather than counting forwards. Counting forwards and saying day 14 is your most fertile day is inaccurate as I've just shown above. So work out how long your cycle is, subtract 14 from it and that's the day you'll ovulate. Your most fertile time is the four days around ovulation, ie. from 2 days before until 2 days after.

the menstrual cycle stops for 9 months becuase the lining of the uterus (period) is being used to help the growing cell (baby) so it doesnt shed.

Just as some girls begin puberty earlier or later than others, the same applies to periods. Some girls may start menstruating as early as age 9 or 10, but others may not get their first period until later in their teens. The amount of time between a girl's periods is called her menstrual cycle (the cycle is counted from the start of one period to the start of the next). Some girls will find that their menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, whereas others might have a 24-day cycle, a 30-day cycle, or even a 35-day cycle.\nThe amount of time that a girl has her period also can vary. Some girls have periods that last just 2 or 3 days; other girls may have periods that last 7 days or longer. The menstrual flow — meaning how much blood comes out of the vagina — can vary widely from person to person, too. Some girls have such light blood flow that they wonder if they even have their period at all.\n\nOther girls may be concerned that they're losing too much blood. It can be a shock to see all that blood, but it's highly unlikely that a girl will lose too much: For most girls an entire period consists of anywhere from a few spoonfuls to less than 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) of blood — it just looks like a lot! It is possible for a girl to lose an excessive amount of blood during her period, but it's not at all common. (In some cases, a girl can bleed too much because she has a medical condition — such as von Willebrand disease.) The amount of blood a girl loses and how long her period lasts can differ from month to month.\n\nIf you're worried about your blood flow or whether your period is normal in other ways, talk to a doctor or nurse. Some changes in menstrual periods can be normal — but only a doctor can help determine the cause of irregular, heavy, painful periods, or no periods at all.

Menstruation is a woman's monthly bleeding. It is also called menses, menstrual period, or period. When a woman has her period, she is menstruating. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from the inside of the uterus (womb). It flows from the uterus through the small opening in the cervix, and passes out of the body through the vagina. Most menstrual periods last from three to five days.

I just want to add about effect of stress to menstruation. Stress is causing an unbalanced hormone production, not to mention reproduction hormone, such as FSH & estrogen. So, when becoming unbalanced, the amount of those hormones (either lack or overdose)can effect metabolisme, including period cycle. Some women would have period twice per month, some women would have period once in 2 months, so it depends on each individuals. Reactions could be different.

Very likely, it is perfectly normal. There is a lot of variation in how often women have their periods, the average, however,  is about 28 days.\nBut you should still visit a gynecologist as he may order some simple blood tests (hormone levels) and an ultrasound (totally painless 5 min test) just to make very sure.

Irregular Cycles: Metrorrhagia \nOne of the most common gynecological problems is an irregular menstrual cycle. But before you jump to the conclusion that you're irregular, it's important to remember that being regular doesn't mean your cycle is the same number of days each time. One month your cycle may be twenty-nine days, and the next month it may be thirty-one days. This is still considered the norm. It's also normal to be lighter one month and heavier the next. So long as you're menstruating every twenty to forty days, it's a sign that you're ovulating. Another common misperception about irregular cycles is the belief that unless you have a period every four weeks (again, the statistical average) you're irregular. This is not true. Some women menstruate every three weeks, which is normal for them; some menstruate every five weeks, which is normal for them. The only time you should be concerned is if your period consistently yo-yos: three weeks, then four weeks, then five weeks, then three weeks, and so on. When this happens, it's usually a sign that you're not ovulating regularly. This is common in young girls after they first begin menstruating. If your period only jumps around once or twice a year, there isn't anything to worry about. Occasional stress is usually the culprit when this happens.

Hey, I'm also trying to lose some of my holiday pounds, so I understand what you're thinking.  Unfortunately, just eating centrum vitamins and nothing else for 3 months is VERY dangerous, and you definitely won't be able to keep your period.\n\nYour menstrual period is controlled by your body's hormones - estrogen and progesterone.  You need enough of both hormones to have regular periods.  Your body uses fat to make estrogen and progesterone, so you need enough fat to maintain a normal menstrual period.  \n\nCentrum vitamins are healthy supplements, but they don't contain the fat you need to make the estrogen and progesterone for a normal menstrual cycle.  So no, taking Centrum vitamins will not help you keep your menstrual period.\n\nNow you're probably wondering, "How much fat do I need to maintain my menstrual period?"  If your Body Mass Index is below 19, you don't have enough fat to make the hormones you need, and you will lose your menstrual period.  So DON'T lose anymore weight if your Body Mass index is below 19!\n\nWhat is Body Mass Index, you ask? It's a measure of your body fat based on your height and weight.  You can figure out your Body Mass Index at this site: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/    \n  \nThe most effective and healthiest way to lose weight is to eat a balanced diet that contains about 1500 calories a day.  You definitely don't want to eat less than 1200 calories a day.  (Your brain needs a certain amount of glucose to survive, and consuming less than 1200 calories a day would be disastrous on your body.  Your immune system will be knocked out, so you'll get sick very easily.  And you'll lose muscle in addition to fat.)  \n\nMy professor introduced us to a website that was helpful for me in following my diet.  It is http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/ .  Try it out to see how healthy your diet is. Hope this helps!

Lots of women are interested in keeping track of their cycles and it is really a GOOD thing to do.. over time.  I was always taught that I was supposed to pull up my dates from years ago to current.  They show trends and stuff.. and menstrual cycle is a very important part of a woman's health history.  :)

It's normal sweetie.  A woman's period can last up to 3-7 days.  You are fine.

The usual duration of the menstrual cycle is 3-5 days but flows as short as 1 day and as long as 8 days are considered to be within the normal healthy range. The average amount of blood is 30 ml but anything under 80 ml is still considered to be normal.  \nYou could get a measuring cup and measure out 80ml of water to get a better idea of how much blood 80ml is and to better compare that to what you are losing.

Everyone is different. Some women do not have regular menstrual cycles. There are things that can change your cycle. For example if a woman is does not meet her nutritional needs or is anorexic she may not get a period for a while. If you are very athletic this will also change your cycle. The most important thing for you to do is to see your doctor about these concerns. Remember people will always offer advice but nobody but you and your doctor can find the correct answer to your question.
