Menstruation
Menstruation is the routine discharge, or release, of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus. This process occurs about once a month from the time a female reaches puberty until menopause. During pregnancy, the monthly menstrual cycle is absent while the womb nourishes the growing fetus.

I'm not actually sure but I'm guessing once a month for about 5- 7 days
Could the start of Yaz affect the start of your period?
Yes, when starting any birth control your period will be different than it was before the Pill.
If you have taken another brand of birth control pill that follows 21 active and 7 inactive days, chances are you got your period the week you were taking the inactive pills. With YAZ, you will get your period during the 4 days you are taking the inactive white pills. When you start taking the new month's pack, you may still have some bleeding or spotting.
Irregular bleeding occurs most often during the first few months of any BCP use. Such bleeding may be temporary and usually does not indicate any serious problems. It is important to continue taking your pills on schedule. If the bleeding occurs in more than one cycle or lasts for more than a few days, talk with your healthcare provider.
Is it normal to have discharge while on your period?
It depends on what type of discharge. If the discharge is blood, then of course it is normal.
How many times should you change your pad?
You should change your pads every 4-6 hours.
Check your pad regularly until you get a better idea of when you need to change, if the pad is full it should of course be changed even if before 4-6 hours - also if the pad looks fairly full and you know you're going to be in class for the next hour it's best to err on the side of caution and change the pad then even if not quite full to avoid leaks.
Still change your pads regularly even if they don't have much blood on them to stay hygienic - pads can get urine on them even after you wipe and pads habour bacteria including bacteria from around your anus which you don't want lingering round your genitals. If you use commercial pads like Always or Kotex this is even more important as they don't allow air flow so create the perfect warm moist (sweaty!) place for bacteria and yeast to thrive, plus these types of pads contain chemicals that cause odour.
Tip - Try organic unbleached cotton pads like Cottons or Natracare, better still is to try cloth pads like Lunapads or Party In My Pants Pads which are both more hygienic.
What does it mean if your period smells like a fart?
A period smell is usually due to blood interacting with natural bacteria in the vagina, which is normal. If it smells like a fart, it may indicate a change in bacterial balance or the presence of a bacterial infection like bacterial vaginosis. It's best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis.

You probably aren't eating right and are under stress. This can change your cyles and make you irregular too. You need to take vitamins. Drink lots of milk. I used to have the same problem before I had my daughter and that seemed to help.
My age is now 11 when your will get my first period?
It varies from person to person. I got my period when I was 11 years and 9 months old. I have family members that did not get theirs until they were 16 and 17 years old.
If an 11 year old girl had her period in January and not in February what dose that mean?
Sometimes, when girls first start their periods, they aren't very regular. This may go on for several months. The first few months can sometimes be called spotting....when spotting, you don't really have your full period. (the name kinda describes it ;)) Don't worry though. It make take even a year until your body can completely adjust and you can have normal cycles.
Hope this helped!
