Good morning, as you are 16 year old and if you have started to menstruate in last 2 years, then its normal to have long cycles now. It takes about 2 years of time for hormones to settle in to a rhythm. Maintain healthy weight and keep active, menstrual cycles get regular eventually.
Next Steps
Keep menstrual diary
Health Tips
Eat healthy protein and iron rich food.

Girls of your age can have such periods sometimes.. But it is always mandatory to rule out other causes.. For that we need some blood tests and an ultrasound of pelvis done. Connect with the reports
