Early bird period

Check these out, too...

My period seems to be getting earlier and earlier every month! I just got mine today and it's about a week earlier than last month. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Each girl’s period is 100-percent unique, right down to the number of days of your cycle. A standard cycle is 28 days—not a full calendar month. For girls who are regular, it’s typical to get your period a few days earlier each month…if you’re counting week-by-week instead of by the actual day.

Further, it’s not unusual for your period to come earlier or later than “normal” because of a variety of things going on your life, from stress to a change in diet. Unless you experience a significant change—getting your period repeatedly far earlier than you should or seeing it drop off for months on end—you shouldn’t be worried. But if you are, give your doc a call, just to be on the safe side.

This article was a little helpful. Now, just 1 more question. How can I be ready if it comes early? Once, it came nearly 2 WEEKS early when I was on vacation and i wasn't prepared at all!
How can I be ready if it's not supposed to be coming for several weeks???? Thanks in advance!

Hey girly! you can never be absolutely sure when you are going to get it. To make sure you are prepared when you go away, always bring a few things with you so you are never not prepared. Keep something with you at all times in a jacket pocket or in your backpack just to be on the safe side.
