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.

Is you used a tampon are you a virgin?
Yes, you are a virgin up until you have sex with someone else.
A virgin is someone who has not yet had sex with another person, a tampon is not a person and inserting a tampon is not sex so it doesn't change the fact that you are a virgin. Simply putting things in your vagina has no impact on virginity, even when it comes to sex you don't have to have anything going into your vagina for it to be considered sex and you no longer being a virgin.
What is something hard in your vagina?
You are probably referring to the round, hard, fleshy lump at the top of your vagina, similar in consistency to the tip of your nose. This is your cervix- the opening to your uterus. In its centre is a depression, which is where the cervical canal opens, in nulliparas (women who have never had children) this hole is almost completely closed (i.e. very narrow). In multiparous women, the hole is usually 1-2 mm in diameter. In late pregnancy, this hole dilates to approximately 1-2cm before expanding to 10 cm in labour to allow for the passage of the foetus. The fleshy part becomes really soft and effaced (flattened/thin- thanks to the effects of progesterone) and allows the dilation to 10cm.
It's not a serious problem, it's common for someone in their teens to have irregular cycles because the body is still developing and this can have a big impact on the menstrual cycle. It is however always a good idea to check-in with your doctor if you go over three months without a period.
What can you do to help long periods and short cycles?
There is no natural way to shorten the length of your period. If you are taking the 21-day birth control pill, starting a new pack early may shorten your period slightly. However, doing this may affect the efficiency of your birth control.
Sometimes my period comes 2 days before or after the actual date of my period what is the reason?
Counting days is a prediction, not truth. Your body isn't clockwork perfect, things like that will happen. This is part of the reason why counting days and "safe" periods is so unreliable as a means of avoiding pregnancy.
Why wont my withdrawal period go away?
You need to see your doctor, because it's dangerous to lose too much blood.
Why would you want to start your period?
So you are able to start producing eggs, able to have sex and have babies
Is it normal for your cycle to come on 1 -2 days early?
Yes, it is completely normal for your cycle to start a few days earlier than you predicted. Menstrual cycles are never exactly the same, and anything up to a weeks variation from your avergage menstrual cycle length is totally normal.
What does is it mean if you are bleeding before your period and there is a weird odor?
It could be some sort of vaginal or uterine infection. I recommend contacting a primary care or women's doctor.
What does it mean when your period is brown for 5 days then red?
I t means your going to Die ! ...Or if you in your late 40s your probably going through menopause...but if your a young teen or adult woman its probably just irregularities P.S i recomend you go get a nurse check up for safety anyway...
What are major signs that your period is coming?
cramps - note: not all girls get it.
bloated feel - note: as before.
mood swings - note: getting angry or happy too quickly.
white/clear discharge - note: yellow/greenish means another few months yet.
headaches
and maybe fevers.
hope i helped :)
That "white gooey stuff" is called a discharge. It happens because your vagina is cleaning itself by discharging unclean mucus. Kinda like when you have a cold and you sneeze, you have a lot of boogers because your body is producing mucus in order to keep airborne bacteria out. & the sneeze is just a way of getting out all that bacteria. So the discharge is just a way of your vagina cleaning itself and letting out bacteria that gets in there.
AND NO, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU TURNING INTO A WOMAN -____-

When you start getting this discharge, it normally means you will get your period within a few months...I started getting discharge when I was 11 and got my period when I was 12..Im 15 now lol so dont worry about it, just a part of growing up :)
*another answer*
its not necessarily always a few months after you get the discharge that you get your period because me and my sister are 17 months apart and we both got the discharge in our fith grade year and we are now 13 and 14 and the older one of us has her period and still gets the discharge and so do I but I dont have my period and we are now in the 8th and 9th grade but it varys from person to person so theres nothing wrong with you if it takes longer than a few months.it means your going to get your period
i hav been having discharge since i was 10 and finally had my perion when i was twelve:]How long does the fertile period last?
Well, considering that one is only fertile when one is ovulating, and that the egg released during ovulation is only around for about 24 hours, does that help answer the question? Honestly, I think the "fertile period" is really a fairly small window every month, so just try to have some sperm lying in wait when that egg is released!
No, apart from a girls first period when she can get an amount of discharge being a sign of comming of age and her period on it's way. Periods are not genrally related to Discharge apart from that first time.
When a girl has her period when a boy licks her will she have a baby?
umm, i don't know if you being legit about this. but, no the girl would not have a baby.
What can one feel when her period is delayed for 2 weeks?
actually it is about two years that I have a delay about 20 days. now I am used to it but atfirst I was so worried.
Is there anything you can take to stop periods as you are going away for the weekend?
There's a pill the doctor can give you called Utovlan which delays your period. You start taking it 3 days before your period is due and continue taking it through your holiday, taking is 3 times a day. You stop taking it when you get back from your holiday and then your period comes.
AnswerI don't think that is true. Some women who are taking birth control pills and know they will be on their period when they are on vacation or for whatever other reasons and would like to skip it don't take the sugar pills in their pack and go straight to their next pack of active birth control pills. Please know that even doing this may backfire and you may still get breakthrough bleeding which could last longer than the period would have. However, if you are not taking birth control pills, aren't on the patch or nuvaring among others... there isn't a way to stop it. AnswerYes, the combination birth control pill. If you're already on the pill, and you're at least 3 months away (the more time you have, the better) form starting your vacation, you can switch to a continuous regimen [you only take the active pills, and skip the placebo ones]. Switching to a continuous regimen well in advance of the vacation allows the body to get used to the new regimen, and reduces the likelihood of breakthrough bleeding/spotting.If you're scheduled to start your vacation sooner, your doctor can give you a higher dose pill regimen, to stop your period.
AnswerYes, it is called Norethisterone tablets. You take those a few days before your period is due, and it delays it until you come back from your holiday. They are not contraceptives though, so still use a contraceptive as well.Its used to get your period back when it's gone for other reasons than pregnancy. It is not used for abortion.
How long does a white discharge after having a period last?
White discharge after a period can vary in duration depending on the individual and their menstrual cycle. It typically lasts a few days to a week as the body clears out leftover menstrual blood and the vaginal pH normalizes. If the discharge is accompanied by unusual symptoms like a strong odor or itching, it may indicate an infection, and consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.
Why are you getting your period after 21 days when typically it comes every 28?
Sometimes people have irregular period which can come either early or late.
1 week before the period 1 week after the period is it safe period to avoid the pregnancy?
A week before, you are generally ovulating wich is when you have the HIGHEST chance of getting pregnant.. a week after is the safest but that dosent mean ANYTHING.. take the precautions necessary to avoid any kind of problems.. wich is not JUST pregnancy.. be safe! Cheers
This could be the start of your period which is taken longer than usual to start or it could be pregnancy related....implantation bleeding. If implantation bleeding you can test in 7-14 days.
