Why are guys squeamish with period?
Not all guys are squeamish about menstruation, at least not mature men - boys maybe.
Those who are squeamish about menstruation often take the lead from women or learn it from cultural norms, there are many negative attitudes about menstruation being shameful, embarrassing, gross, dirty, smelly, etc. so with all these sort of attitudes wouldn't you be squeamish about it too? Essentially mens attitudes towards menstruation come from the same place as women's attitudes towards menstruation: our culture and social norms.
It should be personal to the female and guys really don't want to know about it unless she isn't getting her period and could be pregnant ... then the guy is VERY interested! Periods are messy and some young women don't have the best hygiene during this time. There are some things people just don't want to know and it can be embarrassing for some guys. We all know anyone can get diarrhea, but it doesn't mean we want to talk about it.
Can you get implation bleeding on day 11 of your cycle?
No, two days after your period you may not have even ovulated...let alone concieved and the fertilised egg travelled down the fallopian tubes to implant in the uterus. Bleeding two days after your period is likely just spotting at the end of your period, or may be ovulation spotting.
What is best for a girl with her period pads or tampon?
It is best to use pads at first, and if a girl wants to use something internal she should consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups - these pose no health risks like TSS or infections, they're also more convenient and reliable.
How does the menstrual cycle work?
In very basic terms every month or so the body will prepare itself for possible pregnancy: encourage eggs to mature and then release those eggs on the hopes they will be fertilised to then go on to create a baby, also plumping-up the uterus in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn't occur then the egg is reabsorbed into the body and the uterus lining sheds so it can start a fresh next cycle.

Can a UTI delay your menstrual cycle?
No, a bladder infection cannot delay your period.
Menstruation is determined by your menstrual cycle, a domino affect of hormonal changes between your reproductive organs and your brain. Your bladder is a different part of your body and has no impact on your hormones or menstrual cycle, so an infection makes no difference.

What does it mean when you lightly spot pink the week after your period is over?
Nothing serious at all. Most of the time that just means that your body is finishing up with the menstruation cycle. Especially if your younger, and havent had your period for very long, you could be irregular a lot, but it evens out later. Nothing to be worried about.
How can you get your period early one month?
You can't get your period early, that is you can't make your period come early.

There's no need to make your periods come earlier either, there is nothing you can't do on your period so just manage your period once it does start.

Why do women become more sexually aroused during their menstrual cycle?
I don't know if "appear" is the correct word. My wife would never tell me she was having her period and it was always the time that I would crawl all over her and want some. She said one day "Why do you always want it when you cant have it?" and I realized there must be some type of hormone or pharomone thing going on. Men can sense or unknowingly smell something. It's very interesting though.

Will your period stop if you start taking birth control using the 1 day start plan?
If you're using hormonal birth control then yes, but you still should bleed.
Hormonal birth control such as the combination pill works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate, as you no longer ovulate you also no longer menstruate. The bleeding that women experience on the combination pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills - it mimics menstruation and has some of the same benefits but it is not the same thing as menstruation.
If you're not seeing any bleeding you need to talk to your doctor.

How do a woman naturally knows when she is fertile?
ANSWER
Important to know. In the middle of the menstrual cycle (on 13-16 days) ovulation occurs - the dominant egg is released from the follicle and is drawn into the fallopian tube on its way to the uterus. This triggers a host of hormonal secretions - including estrogens - that thicken the uterine lining to support a pregnancy. Women are fertile for about 24-48 hours around the time of ovulation (before and after ovulation).
But how long can sperm survive in a woman? The answer is a very difficult one and depends on a large number of variables including the individual longevity of sperm, the internal metabolic capacity of sperm, the environment of the vagina (body temperature, pH levels, relative acidity), the presence of cervical mucus, the quality of cervical mucus, the ability of the sperm to get out of the vagina and into the womb, and the presence of sperm antagonists like immunity securing white-blood cells. If consider the most ideal conditions (ideal vaginal/uterine environments, fertile eggs, strong sperm health, etc) sperm may be able to survive between six and seven days. That's about a quarter of a typical menstrual cycle - and that means an extended window of fertility before ovulation. In most cases, however, we can assume that there will be realistic factors that may decrease sperm longevity or inhibit sperm movement. First of all, the sperm need to get out of the vagina and into the uterus (through the cervix). If the sperm can't make that initial leg of the journey in a few hours, most will end up dead shortly thereafter. Now, if fertile-quality cervical mucus is present and abundant, and if the sperm make it to cervix and the womb, then sperm life-span can be extended. On average, we can expect sperm to survive just a day or two, and given more optimum conditions or luckier happenstance, a handful of days more. Of course, with each passing day more and more sperm die and the odds of conceiving diminish
Is it possible to throw up when your about to get your period?
Hey,
I'm 20 years old now, but I have had this vomit issue since I started my period at 12. My doctor said it was because I was calcium deficient. She suggested either take dietary calcium pills or drink more milk. I hate both choices due to the fact that my portion of milk is mixed with cereal so it is not much, and the vitamins pills are so large I feel like I choke myself every time I take one. After a while I discovered that the vitamin pills don't work (cannot solely depend on it), and drinking milk in an average cup twice a day for a month worked once (I mixed it with chocolate to rid of the plain flavor) but hasn't since. So now I invented a new plan called eat lightly the day before your period. I keep a calendar of when I have my periods, and mark it so I can guess when the next one will show up: it's always 5 or 6 days before the last time. When my period is close by (two days before I know its coming) I would have anything I want for breakfast, only a snack for lunch (apple/cheese, small microwave burrito, hot pocket...), and drink something warm at night for dinner (Hot cocoa, tea...). IT WORKED! I get up in the morning see spotting of blood, quickly aid it with a tampon, and take 600-800mg of ibuprofen (2-3 times a day) before I feel any cramping, and eat whatever I want ALL DAY. Be careful though! You have to take the pills the first and second day because for some reason your body wants you to cramp so if not the first it tries again the second so stay with the medicine for two days. Make sure you also try and eat healthy things REALLY, because producers today put all sorts of chemical imbalances in our food. So if we must eat this processed stuff, at least go for the more healthy things(vegetables, fruit, protein, dairy, and grain).
Best of Luck!

No, you don't have to have it that way. What she says above might work for you but instead of that many Ibuprofen get muscle relaxers like Naproxen. I never cramp now since I take them and you also don't have to take so many pills. The cramp takes place in the muscles so a muscle relaxer is the best thing. Speak to a gyno about it, they often see girls with problems like this.
Is it normal to randomly miss your period if you're a virgin?
There are several causes for a missed period. Stress seems to be one of the bigger ones. Another could be an infection, and sometimes it just happens with no apparant cause. If it persists or you have pain you should definitely talk to your doctor.
