will go to doc about this i think
as mine start, day 3 dwindle, come back maybe 2 days and go then dwindle. maybe 10days, not much but annoying , and maybe a sign of something more serious - mild panic

Mine seems to start very slowly and then get bit heavy and dwindle (as you put it) and goes on for a whole week - bit of a pain in the ar*. 10 days is obviously even more of a pain but sure not dangerous - but no idea. Worth a call to your GP or practice nurse.

Hope all is well.

thought i go the alternative route and use agnus castus for a month and see if that helps normalise them.!

5 days on, two days off, five days back on(light flow), PITA, roll on the menopause!

mine have been lasting longer, around a week, since I missed 3. I've been taking Agnus Castus, I think it may have been what brought them back, but it's not effected the length of them

Mine match purple princess FWIW

a 10 day period is totally normal - but a change in the pattern of your periods is not, so if 10 days is not normal for you then you should get checked out.

Yes, two days of really heavy period, then two days with nothing and then it starts again and lasts really lightly for another 3 days. Very annoying, but don't think it's probably anything to worry about. It seems to change after each baby....am not going to have another to try and get a shorter cycle though!Grin
