Menstruation

it just means you had a small blockage and your fine but if it keeps occurring see your doctor

We grow until we are 21 years old, but it can stop earlier then that, but some people stop growing a lot earlier but that's probably not your case. Sometimes we stop growing after two years after you get your period.

Ordinarily birth control pills do not "put off" or eliminate the menstrual period. Some women using depo provera (injections) do not have their menstrual periods while on that medication.

You might want to check with a doctor

Normal side effect of starting birth control. It is common in the first three cycles. If it keeps occurring into the fourth cycle, or is troublesome to you at any time, contact your health care provider for advice.

Menstrual cups are bell-shaped flexible cups, normally made from silicone but can also be made from rubber or thermoplastic elastomer, they are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual flow.

Unlike tampons cups don't harbour bacteria or encourage bacteria to grow, cups also allow your vagina to continue cleaning itself as it would normally, cups don't damage vaginal tissues, and cups don't contain harmful ingredients as many tampons and pads do - so cups are safer and more hygienic.

The cup is folded (when folded the cup is little different in size than a tampon, only as it's smooth insertion is easier), then inserted into the vagina, once in place the cup opens itself and you create light suction to prevent leaking by turning the cup. The cup can be worn for up to 12 hours, and unlike tampons cups are safe to wear with any flow, before your period, overnight, and no need to alternate with pads. When it's time to empty you grab the base of the cup to break the seal and then gently pull out, once out you empty the cup, wash-off and if necessary you reinsert.

The cup sounds complicated to use and there can be a steep learning curve for some women, but once you know how they're easier to use than tampons and pads - far more convenient and less messy too. Cleaning also puts some women off, but it's only blood and washing is no more complicated to wash a cup than washing your hands when you use the bathroom - it's rare that you need to empty in public, but if you do then you don't have to wash the cup, just wipe and re-insert.

Menstrual cups are becoming popular because they're;
- Safe and hygienic, no risk of TSS or vaginal infections.
- Can reduce menstrual cramps and flow compared to tampons.
- Don't contain chemicals, bleach, or dioxin like tampons/pads.
- Can be worn for 12 hours, with any flow and at any time.
- Reliable, hold more and have suction so don't leak like tampons/pads.
- Environmentally friendly, reduce harmful manufacturing and waste.
- Cheap, last for ten years so work out far less than tampons/pads.
- Ethical, small independent transparent women-run companies.
- Body-positive, no use of menstrual taboos to sell products.
- Educational, help you learn about your body and monitor flow.

There are lots of additional benefits of cups over tampons and pads, they're especially good for active women or women with heavy flow as well as being a better option for younger women. Cups would be far more popular if only more people knew about them, and if so many women weren't grossed-out by their own bodies or immature as to be put-off by using something they think is "gross". Cups are an all-round far better option than tampons or pads, so worth you looking into.

Different menstrual cup brands; Mooncup, Divacup, Ladycup, MeLuna, Miacup, Femmecup, Lunette, Moon Cup US, Keeper, Fleurcup, Green Donna, Iriscup, Hygina, Alicia, MPower, Naturcup, Yukki Cup, She Cup, Juju, Si-Bell, Natù, Mami, Copita, MiaLuna, Rubycup, FreeSiya, Misscup, Lily Cup, LilaCup, Femmycycle Cup - there are new brands coming out all the time, they're all slightly different in size and shape, some have different stems, and some have different colours or even glittery.

You can also get similar options called Softcups - these are the same idea so have similar benefits such as being safer and more convenient than tampons, but softcups are diaphragm-shaped and sit higher in the vagina so can be more difficult to insert, also unlike menstrual cups can be messy and leak. Menstrual cups are reusable where as softcups are either disposable (although can be reused if you're careful) or reusable for just one cycle. You can also use diaphragms as menstrual cups.

If you've had sex and there was an "accident" where the man released his sperm inside of you, you could be pregnant. If there is absolute no chance that you are pregnant it might just be your body this does happen some times if your under to much stress or anything i would consult with your doctor tho.

Usually you can't take a pill for stoping periods. You would have to go to your doctors and consult with them and tell them why you want to stop your periods. Usually what happens is you go into a day surgery and they burn your uterus lining. Which also makes it so you can't have baby's either.

Starting the pill does not usually make your periods heavier. In fact, most women will find that their periods will become significantly lighter. This is due to the action of the pill in the body. The pill works by preventing ovulation (no egg released), increasing the thickness of cervical mucus (makes it harder for sperm to travel), and decreasing the thickness of the endometrial lining (harder for an embryo to implant). Since the endometrial lining is thinner this generally means lighter periods.

hyperthyroidism

BV won't cause period to stop for 5 months.

Yes you can get in the tub when your on your period. You may start to leak a bit in the tub tho.It mainly depends on how heavy your flow is though. If your flow is really heavy i would not advise you to do this because, if your leaking in the water its not going to feel good...plus u are suppose to be washing....when you get out of the tub you are going to feel dirty and kind of messy. plus when you get out of the tub if your flow is heavy your going to mess up the floor...so have a towel or something ready for when you get out....I am writing this from experience...iit was one of the worst ive had....(Then again you could always wear a tampon when your in the tub so that you wont leak....ok im tired of writing now lol GOODLUCK with your bath hope this helps. :)

It is very rare, but women can menstruate during pregnancy. It is right at the onset of a pregnancy and usually coincides with the woman being very close to her normal cycle.

There are two or three reason why a period will stop. One is that your are pregnant. Another is a physical reason like being sick, under stress, or intense physical training. The final reason is menopause.

Yes

Yes. it is possible to constipated on your period. or it could be something you ate, or eating to much of some kind of food. you could drink more water, try fiber, or just wait. it will soon pass, that's the cool thing about the human body, it eventually cures itself.

Hope this helped

It's cervical mucus. It is like a cushion for a baby, but when you don't get pregnant, the body flushes it out each month with the periods.

Yes, but it will be messy. You will need to take sanitary measures, such as doing so in the shower.

Circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that follow a 24-hour cycle, such as the sleep-wake cycle and fluctuations in hormone levels throughout the day. These rhythms are regulated by internal biological clocks in the body.

Yes, hormonal birth control has a major effect on the body as a whole so birth control pills can cause a wide range of symptoms - including nausea, fatigue, and dizzy spells. If you suspect your pill is causing these side-effects stop using the pill and talk to your doctor about finding another brand of pill, type of pill, or another birth control method.

You should continue taking the pills as scheduled regardless of bleeding. Unscheduled bleeding is common in the first three months of use. Stopping the pill every time you have bleeding will only prolong this "breaking in" period. If the bleeding is troublesome, lasts longer than three months, or is accompanied by pain or abnormal vaginal discharge, contact your health care provider.
