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.

It could mean literally hundreds of things. If you are wondering if you could be pregnant, the only way to know is to take a test. A person on WikiAnswers cannot answer that for you. How silly!
It could be that your body isn't ready yet. I too didn't get my period until I was 13, well after all my friends have, and after pubic hair and breast development. I wouldn't be to concerned about it, unless you are 16 and still don't have your period, I would consult a doctor. These things take time, and tend to come when you least expect it. Believe me, it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
As long as you didn't go more than seven days without an active pill, you are not at increased risk of pregnancy. Skipping your period by taking the pill continuously decreases, not increases, the risk of pregnancy.
Can a woman have her menstruation and sit for Durga pooja?
No simply because phallocrats rule this world.. The symbol of your fertility and womanhood is degraded even in the worship of a goddess..
which is weird because goddesses have been symbols of fertility since ancient times when the feminine was sacred.. now that very symbol is considered impure..
another reason to despise men?
Why are moms worried about their daughters wairing tampons?
Tampons pose multiple health risks; Toxic Shock Syndrome, vaginal infections, increased cramps, increased bleeding, vaginal damage, and long-term risks from dioxin. Most women who know these risks educate their daughters so it's rare their daughters use tampons rather than pads or cups, but most mothers know enough about tampon risks to know that younger women are at higher risk and they worry about whether their daughters are mature and responsible enough to use tampons correctly in order to reduce their risks.
Some women were also raised in a culture where tampons were frowned upon or still believe in myths such as the idea that tampons take a girls virginity, also remember that many moms were around at the time of the 70's/80's TSS outbreak and the 90's dioxin scandal so know that tampons can kill.
Skipping periods is neither harmful nor helpful to your uterus. Doctors have found no reason that women need to menstruate every month and found nothing harmful in skipping periods. Skipping periods can be helpful for other reasons; if you have long heavy periods that leave you anemic or cause a lot of cramping.
Just stop hiding your period - menstruation is not a shameful thing, it is not embarrassing, so no reason for you to hide menstruation. Getting yourself stressed out about trying to hide your period is just going to make your life harder, the sooner you get over this silliness the better.
What drinks can you have when you have cramps on period?
You can drink anything you want or that you think will make you feel better. Cramps don't prevent you from eating or drinking anything. They occur in the muscles of your abdomen, not inside your stomach itself. You can eat or drink anything you like if you have cramps.
Firstly take the tampon out of the packet and take the plastic off. Then untie the string and get in a comfortable position. Most women like to lie down, stand up with their legs apart or put one foot on the sink or bath. Then take a few deep breaths and when you are ready, with one hand using your fingers spread apart the vagina skin and find the vagina opening. Slowly and gently insert the tampon in arching it towards your upper back. Once it is on all the way See if it feels comfortable or not. If it doesn't you may want to adjust it a bit or take it out and try a new one. If it hurts no matter how you put it in there is nothing wrong with a pad and unless you're swimming you don't need a tampon.
Does losing a lot of blood from your period make you lose some weight?
Of course anything shed from your body will equate to a loss of weight (even if its extremely minimal), but it will come back when all that blood that was lost is regained for the next cycle. i would not count on a woman's period as a form of exercise or a means of weight loss.

The fear of tampons is called: Vagidentophobia
i personally used to have a fear of them, until i used it for the first time, but now im okay with them.
hope this helped! =]
Yes you can , but you should wear tampon's so your blood won't go every where.
A gynecologist would know.
Your hymen "breaking" (it actually stretches) wouldn't cause you to not have your period. Your period can be be pretty irregular for the first couple years. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you've lost a lot of weight recently. You could try talking to your mother or a trusted adult female friend about it. They might suggest you see your family doctor to help with any concerns you have.
Is pads or tampons better for teenagers?
Tampons aren't recommended to teens as younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and have more delicate vaginal tissues, thus are at higher risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. However if you want to use tampons and understand the risks enough to follow precautions to reduce risks it's okay to use tampons. Pads remain the best option of the two as pads as safer and more hygienic.
There are more options than just tampons or pads, if a teen wants to use internal options it's best to consider menstrual cups or softcups which pose no health risks at all, this also makes cups more convenient as they can be worn at any time and for up to 12 hours.
Is it normal to have clear discharge during second depo-shot theres no pain itching or smell?
I wouldn't think the depo has anything to do with the discharge you may have an infection. I would call your physician and ask. I have never heard of that.
I don't know how old you are, or if you are a boy or a girl; but I'll keep my answer simple.
Imagine you keep hoping a friend will come and stay with you, so you prepare a guest room complete with fresh flowers and a basket of fruit. When your friend doesn't come, you need to throw out the wilted flowers and the unwanted fruit.
In a similar way, a woman's body prepares itself for her "guest" by padding the walls of her womb (her uterus --- kind of like a little room in her body) and preparing a way to feed the baby guest. When no baby comes, the body "throws away" the padding (uterine lining) and the other stuff it was saving to make it nice and comfy for the little guest. Because it's coming out of a woman's body, it looks like blood...because that's what it mostly IS! Our blood carries oxygen and food around to all the cells in our body and carries away the trash our cells need to get rid of. The baby guest, too, would need oxygen, food, and something to carry away its waste. but, sadly (or luckily...depending!) no baby comes, so all that unneeded stuff is passed out of the woman's body near the same area that other waste comes out, and it starts all over again the next month. This happens each month from about the time the girl is a young teenager until she is about 50!
I hope this helps.
if you're older, this answer may be more appropriate:
The menstrual cycle is a recurring cycle of physiologic changes that occurs in reproductive-age females. Overt menstruation (where there is blood flow from the vagina) occurs primarily in humans and close evolutionary relatives such as chimpanzees.[1] Females of other species of placental mammal undergo estrous cycles, in which the endometrium is completely reabsorbed by the animal (covert menstruation) at the end of its reproductive cycle. This article focuses on the human menstrual cycle.
The menstrual cycle, under the control of the endocrine system is necessary for reproduction. It may be divided into three distinct phases: menstruation, the follicular phase and the luteal phase.[2] Ovulation defines the transition from the follicular phase to the luteal phase. The length of each phase varies from woman to woman and cycle to cycle, though the average menstrual cycle is 28 days.[2] Hormonal contraception interferes with the normal hormonal changes with the aim of preventing reproduction.
Stimulated by gradually increasing amounts of estrogen in the follicular phase, menses slow then stop, and the lining of the uterus thickens. Follicles in the ovary begin developing under the influence of a complex interplay of hormones, and after several days one or occasionally two become dominant (non-dominant follicles atrophy and die). Approximately mid-cycle, 24-36 hours after the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) surges, the dominant follicle releases an ovum, or egg in an event called ovulation. After ovulation, the egg only lives for 24 hours or less without fertilization while the remains of the dominant follicle in the ovary become a corpus luteum; this body has a primary function of producing large amounts of progesterone. Under the influence of progesterone, the endometrium (uterine lining) changes to prepare for potential implantation of an embryo to establish a pregnancy. If implantation does not occur within approximately two weeks, the corpus luteum will involute, causing sharp drops in levels of both progesterone and estrogen. These hormone drops cause the uterus to shed its lining in a process termed menstruation.
In the menstrual cycle, changes occur in the female reproductive system as well as other systems (which lead to breast tenderness or mood changes, for example). A woman's first menstruation is termed menarche, and occurs typically around age 12. The end of a woman's reproductive phase is called the menopause, which commonly occurs somewhere between the ages of 45 and 55.
