Menstruation

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.

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.

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.

Your discharge would be white before menstruation.
You may also experience spotting so see brown or pink discharge.

It is normal, my daughter also started her period and I was worried that something was wrong. Everyone is different, and I can assure you that it is completely normal. :) x

One of the most obvious ways to tell if you are going to get your period soon is after you have been having discharge for 6-12 months

You can kiss a boy whenever you like (as long as he consents). There's no reason you can't kiss a boy when on your period, you can do anything you like while you're on your period.

Yes you just might have active overies

No, but you need to capitalize it.

You put a period after Mr. because it is short for Mister.

You put a period after Mrs. because it is short for Missus.

But Miss is already a short word so doesn't need an abbreviation.

Breast development and menarche aren't directly connected. Both of these things are part of puberty and everyone develops differently so some girls may see breast buds before menarche and some won't see them until after menarche.

It's round and hard and it's buried between the skin. Don't worry though, it's not harmful.

yes

No normally your period should only come once a month but if your period has just started then they usually take a while to settle into a pattern. If it continues you should visit a doctor.

The menstrual cycle seizes once the vagina is done shedding its lining otherwise for it to FULLY seize it would be during menopause or during a time of pregnancy.

Nothing bad you might just not be ovulating as much as usual due to stress or something else. It has nothing to do with sex.

Because you need iron

Nothing is going on, you're spotting because your period is due.

Your period is not so much late as just later than you predicted it would start - also remember that at your age irregular cycles are normal, things such as ill health or stress can delay cycles too. Spotting is normal when your period is about to start, all menstruating people experience spotting.
