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.

How can you jump start your period?
You can't jump-start your period.
Menstruation is controlled by your menstrual cycle, a domino affect of hormonal changes between your reproductive organs and your brain. You cannot skip phases of your cycle or speed-up your cycle to make yourself menstruate before you're due to menstruate.
Do you need to have a period have a baby?
Yes. If you don't have a period, then you are likely infertile, either permanently or temporarily.
Are you pregnant if you started spotting two days after your period?
No, if you menstruated then you are not pregnant - it is possible to bleed when pregnant, but biologically impossible to menstruate during pregnancy. Two days after menstruation spotting is normal, it's just the remaining blood leaving your body.
When does a little girl start her period?
The average age of menarche (first period) is 13 years old.
Anything from 8 years old to 18 years old is considered normal - there are also girls who start to menstruate under the age of 8 years old, known as precocious puberty.
How long after discharge does your period start?
There is no direct correlation between starting to experience discharge and menarche (first period) per say - starting to get discharge is one of many changes that occurs during puberty, and menarche is just one other change. Typically a girl will start to menstruate within four years of starting puberty, so if she has started to get discharge menarche will likely start within those four years.
Is it good to use toilet paper when on your period?
It's okay, but not the best solution.
Toilet paper is good if your period starts and you have no supplies with you, but as it's not very absorbent and falls apart it's not great to use all the time. It is much better to use menstrual products such as pads, tampons or menstrual cups.
Can you get pregnant while having a tampon in when doing anal?
What you do when you are having anal sex has nothing to do with getting pregnant. so long as no semen gets into the vagina then on into the uterus you wont get pregnant . having a tampon in also has nothing to do with it.
Is it normal when you first get period to have it twice in one month?
no its normal. Your body is just getting use to it
This could mean menopause - this is the phase where a woman stops ovulating, and thus stopps menstruating - typically this occurs between ages 45-55.
When a women gets her period is it like being in heat?
No, menstruation is nothing like being in heat. Menstruation is a result of uterine lining shedding when pregnancy has not occurred - it is not an indication that a woman is fertile or wants to mate. Animals that go into heat, such as dogs, and women have completely reproductive systems.

Can a 12 year old miss her period for the month?
Yes, missing periods in your pre-teens or teens is normal.
You only menstruate if you first ovulate, and you only ovulate when your body is physically mature enough to get pregnant - it takes time for your body to mature to the point where it is ovulating regularly, and thus menstruating regularly. It's totally normal for periods to be irregular like this up until adulthood, staying healthy and using herbal treatments like chaste tree can help your menstrual cycles regulate a little quicker.

Do you count the brown blood as the beginning of a period?
No, when counting your menstrual cycle day one is the first day of true bleeding. Brown discharge is spotting, small amouts of blood mixing with discharge as you start to bleed, but you don't count this as day one.

Is it bad to eat oranges when you have your period?
No. Not at all.
Increased vitamin C intake, up to 1,500 mg per day, once menstrual cramping has set in as a means of reducing pain. Citrus fruits such as oranges contains Vitamin C.
One of the remedies that can be useful in reducing menstrual flow is to consume citrus fruits like oranges, sweet lime or guava. These fruits contain Vitamin C which will enhance the absorption of iron that has been depleted during bleeding.
