How much weight do you gain on your period?
Normally only maybe 3 pounds. This weight is actually just retained water. It is not fat weight. It will go away as your hormones change after your period.
How can you make your period come faster?
You can't make your period come faster - when your period starts is determined by your menstrual cycle, you cannot speed-up your menstrual cycle or skip phases of the menstrual cycle to make yourself menstruate sooner.
It's different for every woman. Most of the time, a period lasts 4-7 days
Where do you get birth control pills?
You would get birth control pills from your pharmacy. Your doctor would have to prescribe them. But you might be able to get them from a family planning clinic like Planned Parenthood.
Can birth control mess up your period?
There are many different forms of birth control, but if you're talking exclusively about hormonal birth control such as combination pill, mini pill, or ring then they don't so much 'mess up' your period as stop it all together.
Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle/reproductive cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between the brain and reproductive organs over the space of 28 days on average. Menstruation occurs roughly two weeks after ovulation, if the egg released is not fertilised it triggers the break-down in the uterus lining design to support a fertilised egg.
Hormonal birth control such as the combination pills works to suppress the menstrual cycle/reproductive cycle in order to prevent ovulation (it also effects cervical mucus and prevents uterus lining becoming as thick) - as a woman doesn't ovulate while on hormonal birth control it means she doesn't menstruate. The bleeding women get while on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in hormones when going from the active to inactive/placeo pills, this is meant to mimic menstration but is not the same thing.
During the first three months on a new hormonal birth control some irregular bleeding is normal as the body adjusts from having a menstrual cycle to this synthetic pattern of withdrawal bleeds. Irregular bleeding can be a common side-effect of hormonal birth control, if it continues after three months it is best to discuss this with a doctor to consider switching to another brand or form of birth control without this side-effect.

What does it mean when you have two periods in one month?
Sometimes having 2 periods in one month is OK. If its because your cycle length was shortened It will usually happen in times of hormonal change such as high stress. I would not read to much into it unless it it happening all the time. Remember that a normal cycle is about 21 days and in the few months with 30 or more days it is very possible that you will get a second period that month. It has happened to me every now and then I'll get my period at the beginning of the month and lucky me by the end of the month I'm starting again! If your cycle is getting shorter and shorter I would talk to your doctor because they will know better than anyone what's going on in your body :) hang in there I know 2 periods in the same month sucks!! I hope this helped!! :)
How long will pregnancy occur after injaculation during the period cycle?
pregnancy occurs after you ovulate which is usually 14 day`s into your cycle so a pregnancy test can be done a day after you are due your period or you could use a pregnancy test like First Response that can tell you up to 4 day`s before your period whether you`re pregnant or not.
You can tell how long your cycle is by counting how many days are between the first day of your period and the first day of your next period.
How do you know when you are about to start your period?

You have your period for 8 days is that normal?
it may be normal for you. everybody's period lasts for diffront amounts of time. if you havent had it in a wile that may be why its lasted 8 days. and if you just started it that may be another reason.
I was in the middle of typing this and mine got bumped out:
Sorry, that "normal for you" crap doesn't work.
A normal menstrual period is between four and seven days long. Eight or nine is considered abnormally long; ten or more could indicate endometriosis, a condition where the lining of the uterus migrates outside it and attaches to other internal organs. I myself have nine-day periods; for years I was told, "That's normal for you," and only recently was I vindicated: it is absolutely not normal. Don't let your gyno or other health-care practitioner cop out by saying it is, because it isn't, especially if the flow is heavy and the cramps severe. In these cases, birth-control given properly can mitigate symptoms, the more safely in women under 40.

First prepare yourself mentally. Secondly, avoid excessive stimulation. Thirdly, slow down when you think you are approaching climax. Fourthly, You can take the session after a masturbation session.
The guys, you are referring to are usually on drugs. For example, they apply local anesthetics to their glans penis, so that they receive less sensation. They also take cannabis/ yohimbine like drugs, which act like aphrodisiac. Some drugs like fluoxetine (prozac) interfere with ejaculation. Squeezing the penile urethra also delays ejaculation. However, all these methods mentioned in this paragraph MUST be strictly AVOIDED.
Lastly, its all in your mind. If you want to stay longer, you can!
In the movies the director says. Cut! and they take a break. When you get close to your climax take a break.
How many days are in between periods?
It changes from woman to woman, girl to girl. In the beginning it can be a bit harder to predict if it hasn't regulated yet, then again some are regular from the beginning, the best way to find out is to keep track for a few months, count from the start of one period, to the beginning of the next and use that as a guideline. For example (mine is really weird and completely like clockwork) mine is 31.5days(yes .5 i know its weird) from the beginning of one, to the start of the next one.
