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.

No. If you haven't yet started your period, it means that you haven't yet started to ovulate. So, you can have babies yet.
While having your period what can you not eat?
Period days and wearing white was a no no for me. I used to think of it as a curse, but Adira period panties have changed that concept for me for good. I used to think that on its initial use I would face skin problems but none of such issues I had to go through.
Is it possible to have kids if you never had a period in your life?
It is possible, although not very likely. Women are unable to reproduce until they begin their menstrual cycle, which includes ovulation. Ovulation is when the egg cell is released from the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tubes into the uterus. It occurs about two weeks before the menstrual bleeding. If a woman were two weeks shy of having her first period, it is possible that she could become pregnant from unprotected sex.
Why women should not exercise during their menstrual period?
The thing is, they cannot exercise when they have cramps. That would be like exercising when you have cramps, that would be painful. Another thing is, that if they're running, it makes the period become heavy. It's a best thing that women do not exercise during menstruation.

Is twelve to young to use a tampon?
If you have started menstruating, it is never too early to try tampons. It can be uncomfortable at first, but many females prefer tampons over pads once they get used to them. If you want to try them, read the box (there are helpful pictures), and don't get discouraged if it doesn't seem to work well right away. It takes some practice.
Is it possible to make your period come sooner?
No, it's not possible to make your period come sooner. When you menstruate is determined by your menstrual cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between your reproductive organs and your brain that control ovulation and menstruation. There is no way to speed-up your cycle or skip phases of your cycle to make yourself menstruate earlier.
How many days between each monthly period?
when doctors talk about a menstrual cycle in general, they are talking about a 28 day cycle, with day one of the cycle being the day your start your period, and day 28 being the day before you start your next period. however, every woman is different. some women have a cycle that is the exact same length each time but lasts, for example, 30 days, or 26 days. other women have irregular cycles and don't get their period like clockwork- one cycle could be 25 days and the next 33 days.
to use as an example: if a woman has a 28 day cycle, she starts her period on day one. some of the eggs start to develop around day 7. the lining of the uterus then begins to thicken in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg. one egg matures sufficiently and usually breaks out of the ovary around day 14 (ovulation).
the egg then begins travelling down the fallopian tube. if conception occurs, it is usually during this time- the sperm travels up into the fallopian tube and fertilizes the egg. if this happens, the fertilized egg continues its journey down through the fallopian tube into the uterus and implants in the uterine wall (which has been thickening to prepare for this). if implantation does not happen, the lining of the uterus starts to break down around day 25, and sheds/exits the body when the woman's next period begins on day one of her next cycle.
Why Blood spots after urinating?
I think it depends on if there is pain. If you have a lot of pain when you pee, and there is a little blood, it might be hemorraghic cystitis. Which is a severe urinary tract infection. You should definitely get to the doctor right away. If there is no pain, maybe you are starting/stopping your menstral cycle. Other than that, I don't know what it would be and you should see a doctor.
I add: HEMATURIA is the name of the condition of having blood in the urine. It can sometimes indicate trouble with the kidneys. It's definitely something that requires medical attention.
What year were tampon's invented?

Sometimes, but not all the time. I got mine at the same age as my mom, but my sister got hers two years before my mom
During which phase of the menstrual cycle is estrogen at a high level?
I believe it is when your ovaries are traveling down the fallopian tubes.
When is the average age for girls to start getting their periods?
The average for a gitl to get her period is9-16 its normal. If you're 16 and still haven't gotten your first period then you should go see the doctor.
Your parents will NOT freak out about periods and tampons. Your mom has her period (unless she's menopausal, in which case, she used to have one, anyway). Every woman gets a period and it's not strange. And tampons and pads aren't hard to discuss, either!
If you want to get on the pill, think about it - why do you want to? For cramps of your skin? Be honest with them if that's why. If you're sexually active, tell your parents you want to get on the pill because you are sexually active. If you don't want to tell them you're having sex, tell them it's for cramps or your skin.
My cycle is between 28 and 30 days when can i expect to ovulate?
According to my research, if your cyccle is 28 days in length, then you should ovulate around day 14. Women have shown to ovulate as early as day 8 and as late as day 22. You should read a book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler.

What does it mean whenyou have brown spotting and you just had a period?
Hi,
Brown spotting is known as old blood. When this occurs there is a possibility you could be pregnant. See your doctor for a blood test and also see your doctor to rule out a hormonal imbalance.
Ive had this problem on my last period.Only had brown spotting when i wiped and instead of only lasting for 5 normal days(for me)it lasted 11days.The 2periods before that my period lasted 9 days but it bleed red blood.And each period is getting lighter.They were also late.Pregnancy is not likely since i took a blood test and hpt.I took the blood test a little over a month ago. Took the hpt a few days ago. Yess i realize after a neg. blood test you'd think i wouldnt take a hpt but we havent been trying to get pregnant but havent really been preventing it. If it happens then great if it don't then great. I'm going to the doctor on the 29th but i juss wanted some input on what it could be.hormaonal imbalance is possible but im wondering why it juss started abruptly 3months ago.i did have a miscarriage a little over 3 months ago.But i figured it wouldnt affect my periods for 3months...
Any input??
Why are you bleeding dark brown 2 weeks after your period?
implantation bleeding, After ovulation the egg travels into the uterus and burrows into the lining of the uterus. For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting.Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge.Implantation bleeding is fairly common with pregnancy. Twenty to thirty percent of women will have spotting during early pregnancy. If you have some light spotting before your period would normally start this is not something to worry about and may be a sign of pregnancy
What if it hurts putting a tampon in?
There are a few possible reasons why tampons may be uncomfortable or painful for you to insert, some of the most common reasons are...
- Not relaxing enough.
Your vagina is a muscular tube, if you're not relaxed then your vaginal muscles aren't relaxed either so the vaginal walls will clench together - imagine this like a tightly gripped fist. Make sure to relax when inserting the tampon; practice relaxing vaginal muscles so you can relax on demand or masturbate beforehand as when aroused the vagina will relax and open. Know that if it hurts you can always stop and try again later, trying to force things or getting frustrated will just make it more difficult.
- Inserting at the wrong angle.
Your vaginal canal doesn't go straight up, it curves slightly so you need to aim the tampon up towards the small of your back - different positions can change the angle slightly so sometimes it helps to lay down rather than trying to insert when standing or sitting, you can always change positions when you're used to insertion. Non-applicator are also easier to use because as well as being simpler they allow you to more easily feel for resistance so if you push into a vaginal wall you can feel that happening so slightly adjust angle until you can feel it going through vaginal walls.
- Using too high an absorbency.
Tampons are dry and absorbent, as well as absorbing menstrual flow they also absorb vaginal discharge which can cause damage to vaginal walls and the dry tampon against vaginal walls can increase that damage or cause irritation. Always use lowest absorbency and never use tampons with light flow or when not menstruating - if the tampon leaks after 1-2 hours you can use the next absorbency up, but if the tampon isn't completely saturated in blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or pads.
- Allergic reaction to the tampon.
Many tampons are made from rayon which is more irritating and drying than cotton tampons, but rayon is also chemically treated and bleached so can be more likely to cause irritation, sensitivity, or allergic reaction. Rayon tampons also increase risks of TSS, vaginal infections, and contain dioxin - so avoid rayon tampons like Tampax, Kotex, and Playtex - instead opt for hypo-allergenic cotton tampons like Cottons, Natracare, and Emerita, these are not only less likely to cause irritation but also safer. You may also want to try using sponge or soft tampons which are squishy and not dry.
