What does it mean when you have a period for one day and then cramping for one week?
it means that your period just left and it coming back again to get you
How do you know the next time you get your period?
You determine when your period is due based on your average menstrual cycle length - the number of days between your periods. The average menstrual cycle length is 28 days so if you're new to menstruation it's best to just assume your period will start roughly the same time every month - although irregular cycles are normal at first, so don't worry if your period doesn't show up every month.
Once you've had your periods for a while you can determine your own average menstrual cycle - count the days between your periods, this is one cycle, then figure out the average of your last 6 cycles by adding all these days together then deviding by 6. Cycles change all the time so you may have to re-calculate this sometimes, or you can use various web sites or applications to calculate this for you.
Many women use something called Fertility Awareness Method to keep track of their periods, with this method you record your basal body temperature, cervical changes, cervical mucus, and other bodily changes to determine exactly where you are in your menstrual cycle. Figuring out your average menstrual cycle length just gives you a rough estimate of when your period is due, where as FAM tells you exactly when it is due.
You can also tell when your periods are due based on changes happening to your body - your body will change in many ways throughout your menstrual cycles; physically, emotionally, and mentally. This effects every woman a little differently so there may be signs unique to you, but all women will experience some of the same symptoms - for example cramps, breast swelling, and changes to your discharge. For example around 2-3 weeks before your period you will get clear stretchy wet discharge like egg-whites, from then up until menstruation discharge will then get thicker and more lotion-like.
It's best when you're young to just make sure you always carry supplies with you, periods can be irregular up until adulthood so until your cycles are regular and predictable it's best to always be prepared. Pay attention to your body, changes throughout your menstrual cycles will tell you when your periods are due.
How can you make your period lighten up?
If your period is genuinely heavy then you can ask your doctor for Tranexamic Acid - this is taken three times per day for the first three days of your period and can lighten your flow by up to 50%. If not that heavy you can use other NSAID's such as Ibuprofen to reduce flow, these will not be as effective as Tranexamic Acid but will still reduce flow - just be careful not to go over the recommended doseage.
Other suggestions to reduce flow....
- Eat a healthy balanced diet (stay healthy).
- Take a good multi-vitamin (balance hormones).
- Try taking Kelp tablets (revitalize the endocrine system).
- Switch to menstrual cups (can reduce flow compared to tampons).
- Drink coffee (constricts blood vessels to reduce flow).
- Take herbal treatments like chaste tree (balance hormones).

Yes, it can stop your period. In order for your body to function properly, it needs all the nourishment required. If your body were to rid itself of the uterine lining, which is partly made of water, then your body would become dehydrated so it holds onto H20 as well as other nutrients that are dispelled during a period, such as iron. In order to keep your cycle regular, you must stay healthy.
