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.

Could be pregnan if i had missed a menstrual period for 14 days?
If you have had sexual intercourse involving your vagina, there is a possibility, and you should take a test.
Period pains ten days before your period is due?
That's normal. Most people get a very painful stomach pain once in a while when your period is nearing. (or other symptoms that indicate that your period is starting soon) Some people experience pain, some people not and every person can have a different time when they start getting period pains.
You are OK. If this is your first period you need to keep a calendar each month and mark off the days of your period. Most periods cycle every 28 days give or take a few days. If you have more days that is OK too. Since you started on Nov 1 count from that day to the last day of your period, then count until you get to 28 days total. Your period should start within the next week. A fact you need to know is that on about day 12-14 of your cycle it is possible to get pregnant for the next several days. Another thing is that if you are just starting your period it may take it 6 months to a year before it will settle down to a normal cycle.
Is it normal to bleed when you sneeze?
Your nose may be dry. This is not normal. Buy a humidifier and seek doctor.
There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.

I ovulate every month but i didn't ovulate this month does that mean im pregnant?
no, did you get your period?
How can you hide your period while at a friends house?
There's absolutelyno reason to hide your period. Being a woman is nothing to be ashamed of, so no reason to hide the fact that you're a woman from your friends - guess what, they probably already know that you menstruate. Trying to hide menstruation like it's something shameful just makes your periods all the more difficult to deal with, frankly it's silly to try to hide your period.
How do you iduce menstruation forcefully?
You don't induce menstruation "foresfully" - you do it nicely.
You CANNOT induce your period unless your period is due - unless you have ovulated you cannot menstruate, these methods will not speed-up your menstrual cycle but will only start menstrual bleeding a little earlier than when it is actually due. The two most popular methods of inducing menstruation would be to use a combination of vitamin C and parsley.
Vitamin C works by starving the uterus of progesterone so triggers menstruation, I'm not sure of the specific brand you mention but you need to make sure it doesn't contain bioflaviniods - these are added to cancel-out this effect on the uterus so it's not a risk to pregnant women. You'd need to take 6,000 mg per day at regular intervals - a 1000mg dose will be enough, and time release should help but you may want to try one in the morning and one at night - your body will filter out extra vitamin C it doesn't need, so spacing out is important to make sure you get a high enough dose.
Parsley tea is a well-known for inducing menstruation but is a "helper herb" meaning it's best used with something else, vitamin C is a good combo as vitamin C triggers uterus shedding while the volatile oils in parsley are clinically proven uterine stimulants. Ideally you should be using fresh [organic] parsley for the tea and don't boil as you'll lose the volatile oils, but dried tea bags work fine in a pinch just be sure not to use boiling water and to allow to brew - you may want to add honey as parsley tea isn't nice taste-wise. You're looking at 4 cups at least, what works for you depends on your body, how far along you are in your cycle, and the quality of the parsley tea.
Some other tips to help with inducing your period include - taking a hot bath, masturbate as increased blood flow and uterine contractions during orgasm help, another good emmenagogue is ginger so eat some ginger or drink ginger tea, papaya juice, exercise, and generally relaxing will help too.
I stress again;
VITAMIN C AND PARSLEY WILL NOT SPEED-UP YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE
These methods will only work (and they do work very well) if your period is actually due. I'm not sure why it's so urgent you menstruate early or later, there's absolutely nothing you cannot do during your period and lots of things are even better during your period, anything negative like cramps are preventable, and options like menstrual cups allow you to totally forget about your period.
Warning - do not use if there's any chance you're pregnant as it may cause miscarriage or lead to birth defects if carried to term. Do not use parsley if you suffer from kidney problems.

If your on the last day of your period and you are not bleeding heavy can the tampon cause bumps?
If you're experiencing light bleeding then you shouldn't be using tampons at all because this increases your risks of TSS. I'm not sure what you mean by causing bumps, tampons go inside your body and unless you regularly examine yourself wiht a speculum you'd not be able to see any bumps inside your vagina that could be caused by tampon use.
could be the onstart of your period your just late the pill most likely knocked you off track
What could be the meaning of a pinching sensation in your abdomen and a brown-pinkish discharge?
The pinching in your abdomen could be the feeling of implantation cramping. You could be pregnant. When implantation happens you will also see a brownish, sometimes pink, discharge. It usually isn't very much, but still it's there. You should make an appointment with your doctor to confirm or deny.
What does it mean when your flow of period gets lighter and you are taking birth control pills?
Withdrawal bleeds are normally lighter than menstrual bleeds.
Hormonal birth control like the combination pill works to suppress your menstrual cycles to stop ovulation, thus as you no longer ovulate you no longer menstruate either. The bleeding you experience on the pill is a withdrawal bleed that results from the hormone drop when you go from active to inactive pills. As well as stopping ovulation the pill prevents secondary uterine lining build-up, with less uterine lining it means less material is lost during the withdrawal bleed than what you'd see during menstruation when you're off the pill.
What causes Mid cycle brown discharge and pelvic pain?
Mid-cycle pain is middleschmertz, which about 20% of women experience, including myself. It's ovulation pain, and although annoying, it comes in handy when you wish to get pregnant or for naturally preventing pregnancy.
Mid-cycle bleeding, or "spotting," is caused by a drop in estrogen that occurs just before ovulation. The drop in hormones causes withdrawal bleeding and is harmless.
However, if you're worried about having a discharge, your should see a gynecologist for a checkup. When in doubt, see a doctor.
Will drinking vinegar after intercourse help stop pregnancy?
Nope. Vinegar can't stop pregnancies or abort. You can take Plan B though within day 1-5 after sex. Day 1-3 is the best.
Can a virgin feel her hymen before she has sex for the first time?
It depends. Some girls are born without a noticeable hymen, or it has already been stretched/torn due to physical activity (exercise, horseback riding, etc) or tampon usage.
Can women have periods after uterius removal?

If you are having bleeding after having the uterus removed (a hysterectomy) it is coming from some other (abnormal) source and you should see your doctor.
Why is my period blood brown and stringy?
It might be because it dried out. It can happen sometimes ,SO. don't worry about it.
What would happen If you ate your period?
You'd likely get ill.
Menstrual flow contain various bacteria which all could potentially cause stomach upset, but also the human body can only drink so much blood - your body can't process the irone in blood, in small amounts this can make you ill but in larger amounts it could potentially cause poisening.
Yes, you might be - go to the doctor and ask them to do a test because it is more reliable
If you're just spotting then you shouldn't be using tampons.
Tampons will absorb discharge just as they absorb blood, with less blood this means more discharge is absorbed and thus vaginal tissues become dried-out causing increased tissue damage. Using tampons with very light flow is dangerous because it means more tissue damage and this tissue damage allows bacterial toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream.
If the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours you need to use lower absorbency, or if already using lowest absorbency (also if flow is very light) switch to pads.
