Can I speed up my period?

 

Check these out, too...

  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
When my period comes, is there anything I can do to make it pass by faster?

 

Unfortunately, babe, unless you are on hormone regulators like birth control pills, there’s no sure-fire way to make Aunt Flo hit the road. You can make the whole thing more comfortable and easier to handle by drinking lots of water, which will help your body flush out everything it needs to. Stay away from super salty food to avoid bloating, and exercise regularly to fend off cramps.

MOD!!! Ok so during my FAVE time of month, it feels like I'm peeing myself or something. Is this natural and do I just like let it fall out????




Hey girlie,

Check out this article - that's just clots that you're feeling! They can be brown or red, but we all agree... they feel GROOOOOSS. We've all been there. You basically just have to let them come out, take a deep breath, and try to move past it. Your pad will soak it up and it'll be fine! Sometimes they can cause leaks (if your pad is already kinda filled), but most of the time you should have nothing to worry about <3

i am on my period right now and i wear pads.
in school me and my friend are sometimes scared to stand up because when we have been sitting down for 1 hour lesson it all feels like a blood waterfall what can we do to stop this? thanks



Hey girlie,

Honestly, I don't think there's really any solution to this other than switching from pads to tampons.  They'll prevent that pesky rush of your flow.

So I just got my period yesterday. My mom said to wear pads for the first day and then you can wear tampons, which I did. But how often to you normally get your period everyday? I don't really know alot about it but it seems like I got mine alot today. And how can you tell if its heavy or light? Thank you!

 

It starts out heavy as first and gets lighter as the week goes on. It varied from week to week how heavy it is. But thats the general trend. Also theres no way to tell how heavy its going to be. Just be prepared for the worst and hope for the best! xoxo kerra

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
