What can change your period cycle from 28 days to 20 days?

You can't force your menstrual cycle to change, your body will do what it needs to which includes menstruating and ovulating when it is ready to do so. You can help encourage a change in your cycle by using lunaception to try to control when you ovulate, but this doesn't always work.

Why cant i put a tampon in somthing is blocking it from going in and it hurts to touch it?

It may be that there is something blocking the tampon, likely your cervix or vaginal wall.

Tampons need to be inserted towards the small of your back because your vaginal canal is curved so if you insert straight up you would be inserting the tampon into a vaginal wall, thus will go no further. You need to stay relaxed because if you're tense vaginal muscles tense causing the vaginal walls to clench together, thus the vaginal canal is narrower so harder for the tampon to move through. If you have a shorter vaginal canal your cervix may be sitting low so getting in the way of the tampon. Feel inside your vagina to get an idea of what is blocking the tampon.

Yes it is. Our bodies change every 7 years and much of it is hormonal. Sometimes stress may be the cause of it.

The birth control pill/patch can also cause this.

Does humphrey's 11 make your period come down early?

I believe that Humphrey's 11 will make your period START...but only took it (faithfully, as a matter of fact) when my period was LATE and I was uncomfortable. To be brutally honest, I was in college, not on birth control, and always sweating it out when it came time to getting my period. The best thing about it was that it wouldn't have harmed a pregnancy (had I been pregnant) but it did bring my period on when it was late. Sometimes in as little as 12 hours, but usually within about 24 hours. The bloating was always uncomfortable for me. My PMS was severe...so having all of that last from 7 days before to my due date and then beyond, kept me a Humphrey's girl for many years.

How does a tampon look like when it is outside?

As long as tampons are inserted correctly they can't really be felt. It is normal for women to feel dry when using tampons as they absorb vaginal moisture as well as blood, if sensitive you may be more likely to feel this and a little soreness around the opening of the vagina. Tampons can also increase menstrual cramps, although many women don't realise that the tampons they use are to blame.

What are causes of infertility in a woman?

There are many causes of infertility in women, but this should not allow us to forget that it may the man who is infertile. Men and women are each responsible for 40% of infertility in infertile couples and the remaining 20% is accounted for by mixed/joint factors. Semen analysis should be the first investigation to be done after a good history is taken by the doc, because it is cheap, easy and non-invasive.

Causes of infertility in a woman may be:

  1. Congenital, such as absent uterus as is the case in CAIS.
  2. Hormonal, which would prevent ovulation from taking place.
  3. Other metabolic imbalances, such as hyperthyroidism, liver disease, kidney disease, obesity and over-skininess (anorexia).
  4. Physical defects, such as fibroids in the uterus, a malformed uterus, etc. Blocked tubes due to infection is also a cause.

Can a girl let out vaginal discharge if she haven't had her period yet?

Yes, thick vaginal discharge on underwear can make the underwear stiff when it dries. Discharge changes with hormonal changes so sometimes it will be thicker than others days, and that's normal. You can use pantiliners to deal with this but it's not very hygienic to use pantiliners daily as it prevents air flow to your genitals, not to mention it's expensive and wasteful. As long as a girl changes her underwear daily it's absolutely fine.
