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.

You stopped your birth control a month ago and still no period is this normal?
I would not be concerned after a single month. Give it another month.
I was on the pill for 10 years before I went off it. We were ttc almost straight away after I came off the pill. I got my withdrawl bleeding after my last pill in the packet and then I had no period for 50 days. Spent a fortune on pregnancy tests cause was getting no period and also had pms before each period which I had never got while on the pill so was convinced that I was pregnant every time. I took about 7 or 8 months before my cycles came anywhere close to normal

How long before period do breasts hurt?
Breast pain is common but not a normal part of the menstrual cycle or menstruation, if you do experience breast tenderness it may be due to hormonal imbalance so check for solutions to this. Your breasts can be tender around ovulation, which occurs around two weeks before your period, and from then up until menstruation or even during menstruation - everyone is different.
no!
Forget about it. Continue taking your pills as normal (don't take the missed pill). If you are actually worried about pregnancy, don't be too concerned. Your period will probably take care of things naturally.
How long does the menstrual cycle last if fertilization does not take place?
The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days - but everyone's cycle is different. If fertilization does take place then there is no menstrual cycle, this would continue into pregnancy.
I would start on that Sunday. I took the pill for years and started the new pack 2-3 days after my period started. It is just important that you start to take them again otherwise they don't work.
Is it possible for you to have a full menstruation during a pregnancy?
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.

What can be the reason that your periods are delayed?
Your period can be late for a few reasons. The obvious reason is because you are pregnant, but it can also be late if you are very stressed, or if you have been on any antibiotics lately. And sometimes, periods are just late for no reason.
Your period lasted 4 days then stop for a day and came back what does that mean?
it just means you had a small blockage and your fine but if it keeps occurring see your doctor
Is it normal to start your period in the first two weeks of taking birth control?
Yes. When you start taking birth control pills, your menstrual cycle will usually change. It will become lighter and less irregular. But when you start the pill, your menstrual cycle has to get use to the changes, and will start your cycle early because it will now be different because of the birth control pills. Your periods might be irregular the first couple of times after starting the pill
What did women use for their periods during the 1800s?
Cotten cloths that had to be washed and reused
Large chunks of blood during period?
The large chunks of blood during your period is actually uterine lining, and this is perfectly normal. The main waste product during menstruation is the uterine lining, you can see this as chunks in your menstrual flow that may look similar to raw liver.
You have cramps and feel like im on your period but you have no bleeding?
wait a couple days and if you still have no bleeding take a pregnancy test. when i was pregnant i could feel slight cramps every month when i normally would have had my period
Can not having a period every month prevent pregnancy?
that depends. if your on bc that prevents periods then yes. your period doesn't have much to do with preventing pregnancy. bc stops you from ovulating and you cant get pregnant if you dont ovulate. if you're not on bc however, you can still ovulate w/o having your period therefore still get pregnant. you miss your period when youre pregnant because that blood makes the sac, placenta etc.
Yes, you will if you really want a baby ask your doctor for a surgery to have a baby my little girl is 6 and from that surgery she had a baby it was a girl her name now is Addison
**well wut i mean is if there is a possibility i can have children w/o surgery or procedure lolz i am so scared i wont be able to :-/**
Does your period generally come during the week taking the green pills?
Yes, if these green pills represent the placebo/sugar pills, then your period will start during the time you are taking the green pills. If you do not get a period during this week, you should consult with your physician. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
That would be gross. It's tissue and uterine lining, dead cells you don't want in your mouth. If it smells that bad when it sits and dries, do you really want breath that smells that way? Plus, there's only a teaspoon of blood in your period, but it's still gross, so I would say NO.
What if your period came 15 days early?
It's normal!
Periods can suddenly be irregular, and then go back to being fine again.
Just as long as it's only happened this once, and not again next month.
If it does, go and see a doctor about it.
BUT DON'T PANIC. :)
