    what can it be?

    Since doctors and hospitals freak me completly out, I thought I'd come here and try to get some help:

    I'm 20 years old and last month was exams month so I guess because of added stress, I missed my period.

    Now this month my period started again, but it's been on for 7 days, and its heavier than it normally is. I've missed periods before, and then it came back with no problem, but since my period usually ends within 5 days now I'm a little worried.

    Will maybe drinkin cranberry juice help? Is it really important that I go see a doctor?

    no it really doesnt matter. That has happened to me b4. Its nuthin to worry about. sometimes ur body needs to cleanse so its heavier, n sometimes it cud be very lite. Unless its really really heavy n lasts longer than 8-9 days.. than u have a problem.

        You should probably visit your GYN doctor to get a checkup, maybe you are fine but i would still go to make sure.
