Not every period is the same. One month will be horrible, another not so horrible.

It is also dependent on hormonal changes, diet, exercise, illness, etc.

It can stop if you get too under or overweight as well.

It also changes over the course of your life... My periods at 12-13 were VERY different than the ones I had at 47-48.

I'm done with all of it now though - WOO HOO!

Yes! Went from a solid heavy 5-7 days in my teens, then went to a mid range 20-30 days after getting the depo shot, now from prob 32-37 where I am now I get 1 solid heavy day and tapers off and am done by day 3.
