Is it normal to have a 20 day period?

Regularly, so every cycle is 20 days from the first day of bleeding to the next first day of the next period.
Only two and a half to three days of moderate bleeding.
No cramping, nor any other symptoms.
Have had my period for 5 years and except for the very first cycle (which was longer) it's been like this ever since.
Is this normal? Google says either 24 for 21 days minimum so 20 days with so few days of bleeding as well seem a little bit short.

    I don't think you need to worry unless this is a recent change in your menstrual cycle, in which case I suggest you consult a doctor and ignore whatever it says on Google.

    Never heard of it, but if you're not experiencing any issues I don't think you should be concerned.

    Most women have it for around a week, this is over double the normal time. I'm not sure if you have something wrong with you or this is just how your body works

    The length of the menstrual cycle varies between woman. 20 days is at the short end of the known range, and you are not alone with having short menstrual cycles.

    There is nothing to be worried about. My advice is do some good research and be sure you understand your likely "pregnancy window".

    You will likely need to talk to a knowledgeable Dr if you are going to go on normal birth control pills or "monthly patches."

    Live life and enjoy things....
