i havent started my period since febuary im 15...its been about 1 1/2 year since ive starteed my period and ever since i dodnt start my period every month i start it mostly every 2-3 months but this time im kind getting worried and no im not pregnant
Answer:
Cycles usually tend to run irregular when you first start to menstruate.
I would talk with your female relatives (mom, sister or aunt) %26 see what is normal for your family. Sometimes loosing weight can disturb your cycle, female athletes lose their cycle when competing. If this continues, you need to make an apt. with your doc. %26 get checked-out.
i think you should see a doctor and see what is going on
Talk with your mom about it. You may need to go to the gyno and get on birth control. It will regulate and stabalize your period.
Women's cycles can be really crazy, and it doesnt always mean there is something wrong with you. For the first few years I had it, I would get it sometimes every other month. If you are really worried, ask your mom (older sister, whoever) to take you to the gynocologist. She will able to tell if its a problem or not, maybe even put you on birth control to regualte it (so you know when you will get your period, and get it once a month). I wouldnt be too worried, but if it makes you feel better, go to the doc's...Good Luck
u need to go to the dr. they probably need to regulate your period and sometimes they do that by using birth control pills.
you have no need to worry, your period is controlled by hormones produced by many different glands but here is the basics, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary which signals your ovaries which secrets more hormones to regulate the actions of the uterus, now these are some of the things which can affect these processes diet, stress, emotions, physical activity, infections, illness, medications hope your getting the picture, and it is very common to have irregular periods through out your teen years, if this is to great a concern then schedule an appointment with a gyno who can give you b/c to balance your hormones and thus regulate your period, hope this helps!
it could be normal or probably your underweight..periods happen only if you meet the normal weight for your body. If you're neither pregnant nor underweight, the best thing i can suggest is for you to go to a doctor. There might be something wrong with your systems.=p

Period Problem Can I stop form getting my period?
My mom is going to Puerto Rico July 4 th and that's the date to get her period. Is there anything she can do to stop from getting her period that date since she wants to enjoy her trip.
Answer:
There are new types of birth control you can take now that let you only have periods like 4 times a year, but not sure if they'd take effect fast enough for a July 4th trip.
Have her call her Gynecologist and see if it would work. I plan to talk to mine about it when I got for my annual exam in August as it'd sure be nice to only have to deal with that 4 times a year ya know?
No I don't think so. If she doesn't think about it and keeps busy having fun she won't even think about it!
If she's on birth control, tell her when it comes time to take the "sugar pill" just start a new pack of bcp.
vitamin K
I don't know of any natural way to stop her period that fast. There are some types of birth control that slow down or completely stop your period but, she's going in July and I don't think they work that fast. Be aware that there is alot of contoversy about it. Some doctors and scientists say that it is not good for your body to stop something that occurs naturally. She might think it's cool now , but it may hinder her ine the long run when it comes time for her to go thru menopause.

Period Problem - Large blood clots??
Today I went to the doctor after I had had an experience of a rush of blood clots passing through during my menstrual cycle.
The clots are LARGE and I have never except last months period had a clot. I went to the my doctor who said it wasn't normal. but nothing to worry about...Do you agree with him?
I feel as though I have lost too much blood with too many clots. When they were coming through they were probably coming out in a rush of about 3 at a time.Is that all blood? They range from the size of a golf ball to a tad bigger..its really scaring me.
I am on some hormone pill now which will apparently slow bleeding...thanks so much! Any suggestions will help! Thanks!
Answer:
Did you just go to the regular Dr. or the Gyno? Maybe a gyno would know more...Sorry I can't help, But I would be really scared too and want more answers also.
i suggest you get second and third opinion fron still 2 different doctors. if 2 have the same findings then thats it
did you by any chance have a tubal ligation? this happen with me and my dr. didnt do anything either said it will do that cause its old blood from previous months period
This occured with me and I was hemoraging. Did u see a gyno not just a regular doctor? Your on a hormone pill you said so it sounds like a possible hormonal inbalance. Go to the gyno.

Period Prob. HELP?
I haven't had my preiod in 3 months. I KNOW i'm not pregnant what's wrong??
Answer:
Please check with your doctor. You might have amenorria, or consistently missed periods, which can be due to a number of factors - too much exercise, too little body fat, etc. It isn't something to be taken lightly.
Could be stress.
Have you lost a lot of weight recently, or are you involved in extremely physical exercise? Both of these can be factors. Please see a Dr.
Something in your body is not working right. You have to have a certain amount of fat in your body in order to menstruate regularly...maybe you should go to the doctors.
Good luck
that happened to me, too. i went to go see a doctor, it turns i was just clogged up, so he kinda cleaned me out and it was better.
underweight?
we need more info to give you an answer, but it could be stress, menapause, lack of proper nutriotion you need to fill in the gaps, age weight and all that for a good answer
stress malnutrition anorexia menopause trauma/shock ilness weird cycle
book an appointment with ur gyenocologist
well if you havent been having them for very long then it is normal as you get older they will get more regular. if you have been having them for a while you might want to see a doctor.
Ask your doc
You need to go to the doctor. It is very dangerous to self-diagnosis. It could nothing but it could something very serious.
if you are taking birth control, it could be that, especially if its loestrin i take that and one of the side effects are no period.

Period preventing swimming?
I had a date with a couple of my friends to go swimming this afternoon. This morning, I got my period. I think tampons hurt when I try to put them in, so I had to call my friends and cancel the date. Any suggestions on what I can do next time so I don't have to cancel? I really don't like tampons.
Answer:
Well, if you want to go swim - tampons are the way to go. Just make sure you change it right after getting out of the water.
You are right, tampons need getting used to... but they totally work (specially in your case with swimming and all).
If tampons don't work for you, try to do something else on the date (movies, dinner, rock-climbing?).
I hate tampons too. The only thing I would say is "cowboy up."
Try a lubricating cream. It will make the tampons hurt less. They sell them at drug stores.
you aren't using the right kind, or the right size if they are hurting.
Ur just going to have to cancel. Tampons are the only thing to keep from leaking in the water. I dont get in the water at all when im on.
just try the plastic applicator ones. and use small ones. but other then waiting until your period is over tampons is the only thing to do.
try using the smallest ones. also, if you pull it out before it is full (so to speak) it is uncomfortable
Its tampons or no swimming.
Buy the slenderest plastic applicator tampon.
I got the same problem i hate tampons but i really like the gentle glide b%26#92;c there little.. but anyways i had to cancel a bunch but when you are in the water it not suppose to bleed out..thats what i heard. So just bring some pads after you get out of the water and change and put a pad on or something.. And you could wear some shorts and where a pad in the water but it would look like you have a diper on... so.. I would try a tampon but just get the small ones they dont hurt.
I wonder if you may be putting the tampons in wrong, read the directions again to make sure. or try another brand with a different type applicator. tampon is really the only way to go.
tampons are *especially* hard to make fit the first day. Bummer that you had to cancel!! Btw i hate them too, and at this moment i don't know *what* i usually do.
whenever me or friends were on our periods and we bled in the water we yelled shark attack! even if we were in the pool it always worked! JK
Sounds like you may be using the wrong size tampons or may just not be comfortable with the process of using them yet. When inserted correctly you should not have any pain, but it can be a little painful if you are too tense. Speak to the school nurse if you have one for some suggestions.
Definately the plastic applicator is the way to go. Tampons don't hurt if you put them in correctly. They only way that they might hurt is if you rip the hymen while putting the tampon in.
HTH.
~~
im the same way but if you put them in right...then you will be fine...i just recently had the same problem like 2 weeks ago but i couldnt cancel cause my friend got mad at me.when you put one in.push up not straight and relax.its weird at first...but when you swim...you wont feel it AT ALL. if you arent soo self conscious about it you will be fine bc if you dont notice no one else will. it sucks. but all women have to learn to use them for times that that.

well i was on the depo contraception jab for 3yrs but decided to come off it as i was gaining too much weight so my doc gave me the pill which i didnt take so now i have been off the depo for 6 mths this is my 5th period and i am in agony the reasons i was on the depo was to stop my period because it was heavy and painfull, but this month is the worst pain i have ever experienced and i was wondering if anyone has been in the same sort of position as me and what they did! i spoke to a pharmasist who said go see the doc so i have an appointment in 3 days i have tried nurofenmax paramol syndol co/- codamol paracetamol and buscopan (which is for ibs but was reccomended by the pharmasist for the cramps) %26 none of these have even touched the pain! im changing my pad every 30 mins and it is the highest absorbancy! can any one help me please i dont know what to do to ease the pain thanxs in advance! xxx
Answer:
god!!!!!! do i know how you feel. iv been physically sick with the excrutiating pain. went for scans but all clear. iv been so scared of it coming on now it terrifies me.
what has helped is being prepared! as soon as you get the first twinge take pain relief, whatever suits you. still painful but bearable. i was waiting for the pain to start before taking meds and it was so severe, i was just vomiting them up.
good luck!!!
Hi there,
try using diclofenac sodium. It may help as it's supposed to reduce the swelling.
Hope this helps,
God Bless
Oh honey, I thought I had it bad! I use heat pads, which you put on the tummy, combined with pain killers, this should hopefully ease the pain somewhat. Hope this helps. x
I don't know about solving the pain problem, but at least try Lilletts (not sure about the spelling) 'super plus' for the hefty flow.
My sister visited me recently and she has always had a flow problem. I discovered that she has always used Tampax and that she could not go swimming because her flow was too heavy. I gave her a lillets and she swam all afternoon. Change your brand and maybe try a totally different pain relief tablet?
Hi yeah i was on the depo i gained loads of weight and was bleeding everyday and still am heavily, also have really bad cramps! I take painkillers and have a lavender wheatbag which slightly eases my stomach ache but i really could do with some advice as i'm going on holiday in a week and really need to stop bleeding and the pain!
i came off the depo about 6 months ago i had been on it for 4 years but recently found out it can effect your bone density if your on it for more than two years..
i found ponstan.. dunno about the spelling.. was rly good for the period pain again im not sure if its avalible over the counter. i also lived with my hot water bottle on my belly for a few days which helped ease the pain. as for the flow try using night towels. they used to work for me.
failing all that i was once told plently of fruit and veg and no choccy and fatty stuff helps ease the cramps alotho ive not really tried it myself.. hope im some help and hope you get better soon
theres not much else you can do - you must see a doc tho and get checked out in the meantime just stick hot water bottle on your tum and try your best to get thru it - and yes i do know what you're going through have been there
well a heat pack worked for me,u just heat it up in the microwave just so its a bit warmer than normal, put it over the bottom of ur tummy that should sort it out,u can get them from boots
either that or a tens machine there used for all sorts of pain including period pains.
could be due to being off the pill, your body is trying to but its self right hormonally.. though suggest seeing another doctor and your Gynaecologist!
I take two ibuprofen and one naproxen sodium tablet together and that usually works for my menstrual pain for about 3 hours. Nothing helps me for the bloodflow. I have a period even when taking contraceptives.
I am glad you are going to a doctor. That is your best option right now. Good luck.
