What should your first period be like while on the pill?
It's different for every woman I'm afraid, and it varies a lot depending on the type of birth control pills you use. Call your gynecologist, she/he will have the best answer. Although sometimes you can get good info from the websites for your particular medication.

Why does it mean to have thick blood?
There are a number of reasons why another individuals blood may be thick and even possible darker red. Some people have to take drugs such as a common drug to help this problem: blood thinners. They can (if not dosed properly) be a very dangerous drug to consume. First of all, it depends on how much blood your red blood cells are producing for your body. If the red blood cells are producing too much blood, of course naturally your blood will be thicker. Also another reason that is linked to why people take blood thinners is because they may have a medical condition (It may be serious and it may not be). Thickened blood hinders the circulation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones and prevents them from being transferred successfully to tissues and cells throughout the body. It is not a good thing to have thick blood.

Is teenage pregnancy the teenagers fault?
I don't believe it is the full answer neglect may be a cause of teenage pregnancy yet many teenagers who feel neglected have not automatically gone to sex for the answer!!! I have reason to believe that teenage pregnancy is caused by young girls who are either not educated in the risks they take, boredom of nothing for young people to do and/or the changing expectations of young girls. To add to this another cause of teenage pregnancy is the expectations for children and teenagers to grow up quickly through a variety of different reasons ie the loss of a parent.

What is the medical term meaning normal position of the uterus?
Uterine position describes how the uterus sits in the pelvis. A normal uterus is midline (not towards the right - dextrorotated - or left - levorotated). A normal uterus may lean toward the front (described as anteverted) or the back (retroverted). If it leans very far with a more acute angle, it could be called anteflexed or retroflexed. All of these "leanings" are normal variants.
How old were you when you started wearing tampons?
There is no good age to start wearing tampons, you don't even have to use tampons at all - generally speaking it's best to start with pads, and if you want to use internal menstrual products it's best to use menstrual cups or softcups which are safer than tampons and make your periods easier.
Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens, this is because even if you're mature and responsible enough to understand risks and follow precautions to reduce those risks, younger women are at higher risk of TSS as they're less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies. It's also not recommended to use tampons for at least the first six cycles, this is because it's unlikely you'd even have a regular flow let alone know your flow well enough to know what absorbency is safe to use.
