Does it hurt when you put a tampon in that's bigger?
Tampon size isn't an issue, remember that your vagina is designed to accommodate things far bigger than a tampon, but tampon absorbency is an issue. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing small tears in the vaginal walls, thus if you use too big an absorbency for your flow then it will have more of a drying effect so cause more tears - thus higher risk of TSS and more likely to cause discomfort. As long as you're relaxed and use the correct absorbency for your flow tampon use shouldn't hurt at all.
Why do you get a white slime before your periods?
your body is eliminating wastes from previous periods that got rotten from being in there for so long(:
Can you suction out your period?
You can't, but a professional can.
Menstrual extraction is not commonly used today because it is not the healthier option, but it become very popular amongst women's clinics in the 1970's as a way of avoiding use of tampons (at the time were very dangerous) and taking control over their periods. Essentially menstrual extraction is the same principle as mechanical abortion, a straw is inserted through the cervix and a device is used to suck out the uterus lining. Only professionals should attempt this, if done wrong it can cause serious damage to the reproductive organs, infection, and hemorrhage that may be fatal.
What are Natural ways to make your period stick to schedule?
First and foremost, hormones influence menstruation. If they are not in balance, the cycle will similarly be affected. If a woman's periods are very irregular, she can ask her doctor to measure the hormones in her blood to find out if her hormones are out of balance. This will give a rough indication as to whether there is a serious hormonal problem. However, since what is 'normal' varies greatly with regard to women's hormones, blood tests are not a particularly good measure of what can be considered much more subtle imbalances in a woman's cycle.
Weight also influences hormonal balance and menstruation. If a woman is underweight, her hormones will stop working properly and her periods might stop altogether. Recent research has also shown that obesity can throw hormones out of balance and make it harder for women to conceive. Stress also affects the hormones. Many women find that if they are worried about something, it can influence menstruation. In some cases, a woman's period might actually stop if she is very worried about whether she is pregnant.
Regular exercise and keeping fit and healthy can help regulate the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, exercising too much and overstressing the body can have a negative effect on the hormones to the extent that menstruation may cease.

You can technically but it would not be real, if you can understand what I am saying. You can go through the motions but not enjoy the fruits !!

Hi there. Stinging nipples can me a PMS symptom, pregnancy symptom or even irritation to your nipples. Sometimes when your nipples usually become tender before your period doesn't always apply and you can have nipple tenderness 2 weeks before your period or even a week after your period.

If you've recently changed your washing product or soap this could cause the stinging to that area. Take care.

Irregular period and pregnancy?
If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can

Yes it is completely normal for women to become VERY moody on their periods due to all the hormones being pumped around our bodies.

Why Did your tampon get stuck around a tube like structure?
The tube like structure you're probably talking about is your cervix. The cervix is the end of your uterus that protrudes into your vagina. It has the texture of your nose. If you leave a tampon in for weeks, the moisture and heat of your body may cause it to move to the top of the vagina, and it's not unusual for it to curve around the cervix. Next time, remember to remove your tampon at the end of your period.
