What do you do when you lose a lot of blood due to Depo-Provera?

The amount of spotting that women have on Depo Provera does not normally lead to large blood loss, even if spotting goes on for weeks. If you believe you might have lost a great deal of blood, see your health care provider for an exam. They can check your blood levels and prescribe treatment if needed.

Is there anything you can do about very irregular periods?

You should try to go on the birth control pill. It usually helps with getting a period regular and you will only have it once every 4 weeks. I dont know why your doctors refuse to try it unless there is a reason you cant take it.

See a gynocologist and ask to be put on birth control to regulate your period. (Mine is irregular also.)

Is it okay to play sports while having your period?

Yes, you can do anything you like on your period.

It's perfectly okay to play sports while menstruating and if using menstrual pads - with the exception of swimming and water sports. Active women do often prefer internal menstrual products like tampons, menstrual sponges, menstrual cups, or softcups, but it's perfectly okay for you to exercise with external menstrual products like menstrual pads. As long as you're comfortable it's fine.

Can you wear a tampon when you have a kidney stint in?

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. Tampons can, and often do, contribute to urinary tract infections. The cord which facilitates expellation of the tampon can harbor bacteria, especially e.coli, and this can easily get into the urinary tract and develop into infection. If you need good menstrual control, there is something you can buy called "Instead". Target stores used to carry them, and some may still. They are a terrific alternative to tampons, as they are similar to diaphrams except they are made of silicone, which tends to inhibit bacteria. They DO take some getting used to, since they "catch" the blood and need to be removed and cleaned periodically, but for someone who is prone to infection or has concerns such as a stint, they are a much better alternative to menstrual pads.

How do you insert a tampon for the first time without it hurting?

Alright, I'm going to answer this because I am extremely happy I don't have to wear pads anymore and I just efficiently used my first tampon and I want to help others. First, make sure you know where your vagina is. Get the tampon opened and ready (after you washed your hands) and you HAVE to RELAX. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly and think of something happy and calm. To be honest, I tried the one leg on the toilet seat thing but it didn't work for me. I eventually ended up on my back on the floor with my legs spread out. Start feeling around with the tampon.. I know this sounds weird, but you'll understand why once you try. If you try putting the tampon in and it just "pops" back out, you haven't found the right hole. It happened to me. So feel around and aim the tampon back towards your waist a tiny bit and there should feel like ANOTHER hole in your vagina. If you find it the tampon slides right in really easily. I really hope this helps!!

What does it mean if you started your period the day before you were supposed to start your sugar pills if you usually don't start until the 4th day into the sugar pills?

Stress or illness can still wreak havock on your period even when you're on the pill. It may mean nothing. If you have taken any recent medications, especially anti-biotics, some of them cancel out the effects of the pill. A doctor or pharmacist can tell you if the medication can render the pill ineffective. Of course there is always a small chance of pregnancy, even with the pill. If it was a normal period, just early, there is probably nothing to worry about at all. If you have any other symptoms or concerns, talk to your doctor.

How can you intentionally delay your menses?

One way is if you are on the birth control pill. Skipping the white pills (colors may vary) or blanks as we know it, will cause you not to have a period.

Which part of the menstrual cycle does the contraceptive pill affect?

The contraceptive pill effects the entire menstrual cycle. The pill suppresses the menstrual cycle in order to prevent ovulation so that you cannot fall pregnant if you were to have sex.

You're probably ovulating (releasing an egg). The peach colour is called discharge and is common during ovulation. Having a bit of pain is also common during ovulation.

There aren't really any signs that far ahead. Usually its about 2 years after your breasts start to grow

Can your tampon fall out while on an inner tube?

No, tampons cannot just fall out whether on an inner tube or doing any other activity. Tampons are held in place by vaginal walls, with the narrowest point of the vaginal canal beneath the tampon to keep in place.

When you insert a tampon does it go past the muscle and right in with the string hanging out or sights on the muscle with the end of the tampon visible?

The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.

What a period?

A period is something a girl gets during and after puberty. once pubic hair starts growing on the vagina, about two years later a girl gets her period.

If you received two speeding tickets within a two week period can you still go to traffic school for the first offence?

It depends on your state. I received a second speeding ticket the day after I finished traffic school on my first offense. In California I was allowed to write a letter to a traffic court judge requesting traffic school again. It was approved. I suggest you ask someone in either traffic court or the DMV who could give you a definitive answer

WHAT can be the reason for delay in periods...i have an IUD since one and half years?

I am 24 and have had irregular periods my whole life...sometimes even skipping one all together. I was recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS). Some of the symptoms include: irregular periods, weight gain(especially in the mid-section), and growing facial hair. Although I only experienced the irregular periods. If you feel like this may be what's going on with you, you should tell your doctor and they can determine it by a vaginal ultrasound. This disease is becoming more and more common...about 10% of women have it and with treatment it is still very possibly to have children. Good luck to you!
