Menstruation

My mom sells plexus and I have been taking them a little less than a month. My period was supposed to start yesterday but it usually starts before. That's the only thing that I can think of... And my period is always on time every month..

Absolutely nothing - you can do anything during your period that you'd do at any other time of your menstrual cycle - drinking soda on your period doesn't effect anything.

A period can have light to very heavy flow from minor to severe cramping from 3-8 days

No - why would you?

You can do anything you want on your period, anything you would do at any other time of your menstrual cycle - that includes getting your hair wet without wearing socks.

How you approach this depends on how easily you can talk to your mother. It would be good to pick a time when the two of you have some time by yourselves without any other friends or family members around you and at a moment when neither of you will be distracted by other activities.

Start with a request such as "Mum, can we have a talk?" or "I'm a bit worried about my period. Can you help me?" Find the right words that will get her attention. Then, you need to discuss it openly and listen to what she has to say. Remember - She HAS been through similar things to you and she will have some useful advice to offer.

When you are fertile depends on your menstrual cycle, everyone is different and unless you use FAM you can't know for certain when you're fertile. During the typical 28 day cycle a woman will be fertile around days 7-16, but again everyone is different.

Everyone is different - the average menstrual cycle length is 28 days but yours may be longer or shorter, it is also normal in your teens for cycles to be irregular.

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.

with an ON delay timer once the power has been appied to the timer unit, the timer contacts will change state-open/close after a preset time (for example A&B timers are adjustable anywhere from 0.05 seconds to 300 Hours)

Yes, it's completely normal not to have your period at the age of 14 years old. The average age of menarche (first period) is 13 years old but anything up to 16 years old is considered within normal range.

Red mucus is just spotting before your period is about to start. There is normally mucus that plugs-up the opening to the cervix and around menstruation it can be carried out with menstrual flow, the blood is your menstrual flow.

A woman is most fertile during ovulation and around a week beforehand when she is producing fertile quality cervical mucus. During a 28 day cycle this will be around days 7-16: ovulation occurs around two weeks before menstruation and there can be a viable egg for up to 48 hours. Unless a woman uses fertility awareness method you cannot know when you are fertile or not.

That is what a normal period looks like. It's the fresh blood after the uterus wall is removed. The blood can also be rust colored when it starts to dry up and almost black in the beginning when it's old.

Yes, of course it's normal to have blood in your cervix when due your period. Your cervix is the opening to your uterus, thus as it starts to shed the blood will pass through your cervix.
