You think you are pregnant but you are on your period when is the best time to take a test or does that mean im not prego at all?

yea im pretty sure that if you got ur period then ur not prego at all. unless you had unprotected sex during your period, but i don't think you could get pregnant at that time. however if you had unprotected sex before you had ur period then i say ur ok, youre not pregnant.

I don't know about all the technical stuff but i know for a fact that you DO still bleed when your pregnant. Just take a pregnance test and if you have a shelter or something that does tests for free id say that's your best bet.

Does bananas help you with your on your period?

Bananas can help some women during menstruation, they're a source of potassium which is needed in menstruation and can help to prevent menstrual cramps or other symptoms of 'PMS'. Generally speaking a good overall diet will help prevent a wide range of menstrual problems, eating banana's during menstruation isn't nearly as useful as a healthy balanced diet throughout your cycle.

When you sit after applying a tampon does it hurt?

It shouldn't hurt at all when you are wearing a tampon, if it does something is wrong.

If it hurts when you sit down it is likely that you have not inserted the tampon far enough, thus as you sit down the vaginal muscles push against the tampon lower down in the vaginal canal. This is common when first using tampons or if you use applicators, next time try non-applicator and push further.

Is it safe to do intercourse after the next day of menstruation?

Most likely, but don't ever use the "withdrawal" method. Your risk of becoming pregnant is exponentially higher, so either tell your partner to wear a condom or get a prescription for birth control if you're going to be sexually active.

Can being on your period make you constipated?

Yes! This can be caused by hormones (especially the higher levels of progesterone you have during your period). It happens to me all the time. It's very normal. You can drink more water and eat more fiber. Just remember to increase fiber intake gradually. And also things like Advil can help. I also like to use a heating pad to help ease some of the discomfort.

Can a tampon fall out in the water?

It's VERY unlikely that a tampon would fall out - tampons are held in place by the vaginal muscles, the vaginal walls also close around the tampon which help keep it in place - if a tampon did fall out of your vagina when using the bathroom you should see your doctor as there is a problem with vaginal muscle tone. If a tampon was to fall out then you would unfortunately have to scoop it out to throw it in the bin.

How do tampons work?

when using a tampon... u simply have 2 stick ur foot up on a toilet. then put ur fingers on the tampon. find the opening of ur vagina and open it. put the tampon under u and push the tampon into ur body. next, take ur pointer finger that was holding onto the tampon and push the tampon into ur body. pull the non - tampon part out of ur body and throw it away. the tampon will suck up the blood. after 4 - 6 hours... pull it out and throw it in the toilet. replace with a new one.

when you go to change it if there are still white patches on it, try a lighter flow one next time or if you need to change it more regularly or it leaks then try a higher absorbancy tampon to find the right one for you. :)
