MOD MOD MOD!! Usually i hat taking showers when i'm on my period. I just did on my third day. My flow was slowing down, and i could move without much trouble. But after i got out of the shower, the flow was super fast and heavy, and clots of red and it was just too much to handle! I have major cramps now, on the third day when i didn't the last two. What's wrong?

 

 

Hey chica! It doesn't sound like anything is wrong. Some girls just have heavier periods than others. And, as you're growing up, your flow will fluctuate. I would maybe try a tampon. That would make showering easier!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I had my period at its normal time and then it was over for about a week and then i got it again! i know its normal for a period to be irregular for the first few years but how is it even possible to get it that soon again? my flow is normal, how did the lining build up that fast?

 

Hey girl!  You're right that it's pretty normal to be irregualr in the first year or so.  I'm not a med expert, so I'm not sure why that happens!  Sounds like a good question for your doctor. Smile

Mod mod mod
so for about a year I was very underweight and I am now back to normal and my mom started her period at age 13 and I am fourteen. I was wondering, I know you can't tell exactly if my period is cmong but just a guess.... Today I have been haveing horrible headaches, is this part of pms? And also there are people thaht have their period and have smaller boobs than me I and curvy and has soooo much discharge!! For like 3 years, I wear a pantyliner for it. I am tired of feeling left out when people are talking about their periods or need a tampon or pad. Oh and the other night I had a weird dream about using tampons and pads I this saying anything!?? Sorry about the length(: thanks!




hey! it could be but there's no way to know for sure

Mod mod mod mod!!!!!!!(:Idk if i have my period because on my pantyliner i see like browb..but idk if its blood or dried discharge!!!!! Could u please help!!!!!???? Thanks

 

Hey girl, It's hard to say for sure - if it's just a bit, it could be spotting.  If it keeps up, it's your period.  Trust me, you'll know! Smile
