Hi! I’m a 21 year old healthy(???) young woman. Not sexually active but me and my boyfriend were just playing. Foreplay, and my period was supposed to be last Sept. 26, it’s already October and this marks my 38th day.

I know I can’t be pregnant because we’re fully clothed down there except for eating (if u know what i mean). So my question is, is it normal to have a cycle that lasts 35-40 days for a 21 year old like me? This happens every month tho. Thanks!!

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

Some women will have a very long menstrual cycle. If this is causing you concern, please schedule an appointment with a gynecologist.
