Is This Normal

Period Dreams

 
Ever since I got my period, I think about having kids when I get older. I even had a couple dreams about it!

“Getting your period signals a new era in a girl’s life. It’s normal for you to prepare yourself ‘psycologically’” say Jane V. MacCauley, family therapist and mental health educator. “These thoughts are part of a woman’s development.” Your mind is “projecting” into the future, which is common. Anything can trigger it. Ever had a crush on a boy and start imagining his last name with your first name? Same thing.
 
Just don’t confuse daydreaming with reality. You have many dreams to follow through on before you are ready for that one.

MOD!! I get my period every 2 weeks Tong it stinks!! is this normal? all my friends get theirs like 28 days apart.

 

Hey girlie,

While it's normal for periods to be irregular (especially once we first get them), you should get them every 25-33ish days apart.  Don't worry, but if it's any sooner or longer than that on a regular basis, you should probably check in with your doc just to see what's up!

I can only imagine how tough
things are for you. Because we wish you only the best, it’s extremely important
that you speak to a trusted adult, such as a family member, doctor, guidance
counselor, teacher, etc.

MOD MOD! i have NIGHTMARES when im on my period. and i can't get good sleep that week. and by nightmares, i mean NIGHTMARES. like doing things i would NEVER do, or just some weird dreams like one of my friends kicking a soccer ball around, that was it. weird. this has recently started happening, and i dont think its healthy. help?

 

Hey missy, mhmm that's strange. It's definetly not healthy, you're missing sleep and you need about 8-10 hours of sleep a day. Those nightmares might have something to do with the way you feel about your period. How do you feel about your period? Smile

MOD!!! MOD!!!!!! MOD!!!!!! HELP whats up with me constanly having dreams about my period even though I don't have my period and I don't think about it? could this mean it's coming what do studies say?? ANYTHING!!




Hey girl, it might just mean you're anxious for it: that's all. Relax though, girl. When it comes, it comes. You'd be surprised: it's really no big deal.

Hey doll!  1. It's perfectly fine that you have a dream about having your period  2. Yup it's normal to want to just stick with pads.  Not all girls wear tampons.

Nope, not weird at all! Dreams can be really random and about pretty much anything.

Hey girl, the thing to do is not worry about it. It's no biggie when it comes. Just keep some pads and pantyliners on you and you'll be fine.

MOD
My period lasts, like, 7 days, and I have to change my pad alot. Is that normal?




Hey babe,

If that's the kind of period you've always had then that's what's normal for you. If this is something that has changed recently then you might want to ask a doctor, but I don't think there would be anything wrong. sometimes it's just heavier or longer than others, the same way some girls have heavier or longer periods than other girls.

**********MOD*************
I got my period on easter when i was in eigth grade. Ever since then, I have seemed to get my period only every two months. I'm now a sophomore in high school and it's still the same. What's happening? And sometimes, it even goes past that. I do get discharge sometimes, but still.




Hey babe,




It's totally normal to have an irregular period when you're first starting out especially if you are a very active person. Check this out for more info: http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx

im just saying that your last comment on having kids was totally rude. that is your own opinion and you should keep it to yourself if you are going to use words like "piss".

Ok, I'm 11 years old and I got my first piriod in July. Now, whenver I get it, I get really shy and I still don't want to tell anybody. I only told my mom so far, and I think only one girl in my grade has gotten her period. I really don't want to tell anybody, but I know I should. What if one of my friends asks me if I have got it yet? I dont want anybody to make fun of me, or avoid me becuase I have got it. I really need help! Love, popcorn159

popcorn159 on 11/5/2009 6:06:49 PM

mod!!
i got my 1st period in the end of august and havnt gotten it since! I know ur period can be irregular for the 1st couple of years... but when will it come back??
probobly in less than a couple months, right?

thanx!!




Hey girl, it's hard to say when for sure it will come back, but def less than a couple of months. Just take care of yourself and you'll be fine. Irregular periods are totes normal.

shopperlove5 on 11/5/2009 5:16:25 PM

Okay, I am eleven, and I have had aches down there like crud! I really want to hurt someone when it happens! Could it maybe be cramps? They hurt and the bathroom trips in school keep adding up! I don't know what to do, and I don't even have my period yet! Does this mean I'll have painful periods? Thanks, Fear the Fork!

FeartheFork on 11/4/2009 4:42:57 PM

Does anyone know if using tampons when we are young help when we are older or ready to start having sex. And do the tampons have to be the bigger size for them to help?

Because I had a strange dream that I was telling someone that it does help or I was in one of those half dream states where I was thinking that it helped.

luckykel on 11/3/2009 5:23:43 PM

MOD MOD MOD MOD !!!!!!~~~~~~******** ok so i have a good amount of discharge and sometimes its really heavy and a little sticky. i sometimes get a few cramps and wear a size 34a bra.Do you think my period is on its way??? im tired of being afraid to get it id rather just know that i have it!!! PLEASE ANSWER!! thanks for taking the time to give advice!!!

 

Hey girl! Sounds like you have some good signs. But, every girl is different so it's hard to pinpoint when you'll get it! Be patient, girl. You don't have to be afraid, you'll know when you get it!

******************** MOD ****************** Hey im 12 , 13 in december and ive been scared of getting my period but i kind of want it to come anyway to feel older and that. Ive got pubic hair small boobs ( but not totally flat ) i dont have much under my arms but im getting this white stuff in my underwear.. i heard it was called discharge.... its sometimes milky n sometimes clear.. it dosent smell or itch or anything. i sometimes get bad side ache and nearly every morning when i wake up i sit up and my stomach feels like a rock and then most of the day it will be like it. what does this mean ?

 

Hey girl!  If you've been getting discharge, you'll probably get your period fairly soon.  Just don't worry about it, and everything will be fine.  Your body will start to develop when it's ready.  Best, Kristen

Is thissss normalllll ?????

 

Hey gal, I it's normal for periods to come and go every other month, but I'm not sure if a really light flow is. I would ask the doc about it. They know all about periods and would tell you if anything was wrong. Smile
