Menstruation

This is just normal spotting. Spotting is when small amounts of blood mix with discharge, dark brown just means the blood is taking time to leave the body and thus is going brown. There's no reason to think that this is anything unusual.

Menstruation is part of a whole menstrual cycle, in order to menstruate you first have to ovulate - however if you are at all unwell your body will try to delay or skip ovulation in order to prevent you becoming pregnant when unable to cope. Thus if you are suffering from stress ovulation may be delayed or skipped, thus in turn your period would be delayed or you'll skip your period all together that cycle.

Hormonal birth control works by suppressing your menstrual cycles, so you don't ovulate and thus in turn you don't menstruate (the bleeding you get on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills). It's normal to have irregular bleeding for the first three months on any new hormonal birth control while your body adjusts to this change. If this is occurring past three months then you need to ask to switch.

Yes - that is the blood clot that keeps germs out of where your tooth was.

Do NOT mess with it . . . if it comes out, you will be in great pain, and you can get an infection in the bone of your jaw. Not fun.

No, months have no effect on your menstrual cycles.

Yes - you only menstruate if you have first ovulated, but your body will try to prevent or delay ovulation if you're unwell in order to prevent pregnancy at a time when you'd not be able to cope, thus late or absent ovulation equates to late or absent menstruation.

No, generally speaking not eating meat isn't going to have a big effect on your menstrual cycle, certainly not enough to delay menstruation. If not eating meat has caused you to become anemic, it could delay your period. Take vitamins with iron.

Whether you tell your friends about your period or not is up to you - but there is nothing shameful or embarrassing about menstruation so no reason to hide it or avoid talking about it, in fact talking about your periods can help you find new ways of managing it.

Many women will tell their friends when they get their first period - it's a big deal as it's a sign you've become a woman and you're growing up, lots of girls want to celebrate their periods and let their friends know that they are growing up. Many girls also like to talk about their periods because it's anew experience for them and they need support.

Once you've been menstruating for a while you might mention it to your friends if it comes up - for example maybe your friends want to swim but you're not comfortable using tampons or menstrual cups, thus can't go and thus you need to explain why. Some women talk about menstruation to share experiences or exchange ideas on how to make periods easier to manage, also some women celebrate their periods in Red Tents where they honour their periods and being women.

Whether YOU tell your friends is up to you, but no reason not to.

Everyone gets cramps. Girls get cramps in their ovaries when they're menstruating.

Unless you are pregant you need a medication for Amenorrhea which is when your period is not coming but not due to pregnancy. See your doctor. It's important to find out why it is late or not coming.

You can't 'bring down' your period, menstruation starts when it is ready - you cannot speed-up your menstrual cycle or skip phases of your cycle to start menstruation earlier than when it is ready.

Perhaps. Some women do have a heavy flow.

About 7-12 day it's diff for everyone I get 7 time a month sometimes I get it 10 it just depends

The only natural way to stop your period would be to get pregnant.

No. Dysmenorrhea is painful menstruation, typically involving abdominal cramps. Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation.

The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, from the start of menstruation to the start of the next menstruation. The "bleeding phase" typically lasts 5-7 days.

it means that your period just left and it coming back again to get you

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.
