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.

My period started after...?

listen period at least comes after the age of 11 now I am 12 and i am having it but having sex before 18 is really harmful for female health because female are not more stronger like males your body has not become that much mature yet and about having period I don't think it has any relation with having sex but I worn having sex after period is not safe it has pregnency chances if your sex is before the period then it will be ok there is no problem, that's all.

~this is a different person now. okay, you get your period as sort of like a completion of going through puberty, usually ages 10-16, if you're 16 and haven't had your period yet, you should talk to your doctor. Having sex before age 20 is indeed harmful, because, a woman's body (even though it has gone through puberty) is not ready for sexual intercourse, because the defenses in your body, namely your cervix are not entirely complete and could very very very easily get infected, causing major problems. Also in comment to the above about when having sex will affect pregnancy--most women have 28 day cycles, where your hormones go up and down, and certain ones mean certain things. you ovulate exactly 14 days before you get your period. You can get pregnant about 2 days one either side, so about 5 days when you can get pregnant. So it really depends on when you're ovulating not when you get your period, and yes you can be ovulating during your period if you have really short cycles.

Yes, it's normal for your period to be clumpy and thick.

Can the Atkins diet affect menstruation?

YES. It's hard to find answers to this question online, but I have experienced menstruation changes myself on Atkins and have found a scarce few forums where other women also verify this. Basically, it's common for it to make you get your period when you aren't supposed to, early mainly. No one seems to know why, and Dr. Atkins never even touched the subject in any of his books, but it happens. My thoughts are that it could be the hormones from all the meats and cheese (even dairy cows get shot up with hormones!). It isn't a very nice surprise to get your time of the month early, but it does eventually level out again.

Period came early one month then period came late the next month then period came early the next month what is going on?

Your ovulation is from one side each month, and each ovary runs on its own cycle. Usually they match and you get your period at the same time each month. This means that if your period is every 30 days, your right ovary drops an ovule (egg) this month. 30 days from now, your left ovary will drop one. 90 days from now your right ovary will activate again and drop an ovule. And so forth.

However, if one month you ovulate early, meaning you get your period early a few days, the next month you will ovulate on your original schedule on the opposite side, which means that period will feel late to you, when in reality it is running on its own proper schedule.

When does your miss period happen?
