Thread: longer period than normal?

so normally i only get my period for about 3 days with some pretty bad pain the first day but bearable. this month however i got my period last friday and i thought it was finishing at the normal time but i'm still bleeding over 7 days later :/ not any heavier than usual either. i don't understand why. i haven't done anything different from normal; no birth control, no sex, no extra exercise or anything like that. the only thing i suppose that's changed is that i've been drinking more (alcohol). i'm eighteen and i've had my period since i was 13 so i'm used to it being regular but i'm getting annoyed because it should have stopped by now. i don't know if it's something i should be concerned about though or if it's just my body being weird?

If it doesn't stop soon, I would suggest going to get checked out just to be sure it's just being odd and not a sign of anything more serious.
