yes, i agree. mine is 2 weeks and has been longer and shorter than that before before, but most of the time just the usual 2 weeks. yes, i hate it also... i have lots of cravings during PMS too. well, hope you find some relief soon. I know its not the same for all women but surprisingly Advil takes all my cramping away, dont know about everything else. but it completely takes care of cramping for me anyways.
