Speak to your Dr even though I know you don't want but they will help you
If this is your first period I assume you're quite young? Could you speak to your mum, grandma, aunt or a teacher and maybe get one of them to go along to the doctors with you. People on here tend to have problems with their cycle but 'normal' would be around 5 days. My daughter recently got her first period it lasted 4 days. I know it's uncomfortable but you really should find someone to talk with. If you don't have any family you could ask for a nurse or health care assistant to be a chaperone during your GP appt, or ask for a female doctor.
