Menstruation

Ok this is a hard to answer question people. I truly don't know the answer cause I'm just learning about periods myself. Sorry to disappoint y'all in any way . I don't know.

Yes sometimes cramps hit you in the middle of a period, but that's the nature of the beast. You may be ovulating during that time. If you continue to experience cramps - seek a medical professional!

You place sanitary pads in the crotch of your underwear - if you find blood flows further back or forward then place the next pad accordingly. Most disposable pads have wings that fold around the back of the underwear.

Yes it can. I was having excessive, extensive bleeding and I was prescribed Megestrol temporarily to cease the bleeding. It worked within 24 hours. However, I have breakthrough bleeding occasionally.

Yes, a diaper or incontinence pads can be used instead of menstrual pads if your flow is heavy, as too can maternity pads which also hold a little more. It would be a good idea to consider cloth pads which can hold a little more than commercial or organic menstrual pads, you can also add extra liners.

There is no way to shorten your menstrual period, certainly not naturally. For the record the pill doesn't shorten your menstrual period either, it works by stopping your menstrual cycles all together so you don't ovulate and thus don't menstruate - the bleeding women get on the pill isn't menstruation but a withdrawal bleed, it can be shorter but it is a totally different function.

You can take pamprin, midol sleep exercise try a heating pad or go to your doctor and get a prescription if it is that bad.

There are no herbs that would stop menstrual bleeding. Menstruation is a normal healthy function, you should not be seeking to stop this process.

It depends on your history. There are some women who misses her period because she is an athlete or she is just irregular. However, if you are sexually active and is not using contraceptives, then yes, there is a possibility that you can be pregnant. But, please see your doctor to make sure what is going on with your body.

Yes

It simply means that you have a 35 day menstrual cycle, nothing more than that.

The typical menstrual cycle is 28 days but everyone is different so some women have longer cycles.

Spotting can occur for many reasons, mid-cycle it can be hormonal imbalance of ovulation.

If this is a one-off don't worry,but if it continues talk to your doctor about the problem.

Yes. It is perfectly normal to have cramps after your period. You still have a lot of hormones that your body is dealing with. Just give it a few days.

Yes - the average age of menarch is 13 year sold, but from 8 years old is totally normal and in some rare cases girls far younger can start menstruating. Everyone is different.

It depends completely on your menstrual cycle.

If we look at a typical 28 day cycle, a woman would ovulate on day 14 of her cycle and it can then take up to 16 days for a fertilised egg to travel down the fallopian tubes and implant itself (thus implantation bleeding). Thus implantation bleeding would likely be seen around the same time menstruation would be due.

It's hard to say - anything from 8 years old can be considered normal, and in very rare cases girls as young as 3 years old have started to menstruate. There may well be cases in earlier history or in less economically developed countries of much younger girls reaching menarche, without us knowing about it.

A period is basically when the lining of your womb realises there's no egg to keep safe, and therefore breaks down and exits as a period. It is normal to have some loss of clots/strange blood loss or "snot looking stuff". However, if there has been any chance of you being pregnant, and you have had severe pains/discomfort and large clots, this could be a miscarriage. However, the pain would be far far worse than pmt, and you'd have probably already gone to see your doctor. To recap, loss of clots is normal. If in doubt, always consult your doc

Usually when you're pregnant, you don't have periods at all - so they can't contribute to miscarriages.

What irregular periods do most is make it a tad more difficult to figure out when to have sex to have the best chance of getting pregnant. The fix for that is fairly simple - have more sex.

Breasts get tender during menstruation due to hormonal changes, specifically estrogens effect on the ducts in the breasts. If this occurs on a regular basis it is important to regulate hormones or talk to your doctor to make sure everything is normal.

The starting AND ending of your periods. :)

Your back hurts during menstruation because of menstrual cramps. Hormones that cause the uterine muscles to contract can effect other muscles in your body, and pain can radiate too. Some women are more sensitive to or create more of these hormones, but there are ways to prevent cramps so look into that.

Yes, it's normal to have two periods in one month after you stop taking [hormonal] birth control - remember that periods aren't dictated by the calendar, but by your hormones.

While on hormonal birth control your menstrual cycles are suppressed so that you don't ovulate, as you don't ovulate you don't menstruate, the bleeding you experience is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. Once off the birth control it takes time for your body to get back into a regular menstrual cycle.

The phrase "a couple days" typically means 2 days. This is more than one day, but less than a few days. This is a more vague way to say 2 days, so it should be considered lightly. If someone promises something in a couple days, give them at least 3 days before checking in.

you could use a calender to count off the days.
