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 MOD MOD!!!! (Lauren C.) So I wanna ask my mom for tampons, but what should I say?? Or should I write a note?? I just don't know how to word it! THANKS Smile

 

Hey Tayincali, sorry Lauren C. isn't logged on but I'll try my best to help ya out. Think about all your reasons for wanting to switch to tampons and write that down in a little letter. Drop it off in her room or hand it to her. I'm sure she will want you to be as comfortable as possible on your period. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hi, ok so lately my discharge has been REALLY heavy like a lot is coming out. Also, I can be laying or sitting down and when I get up I can be fine and then like 5 minutes later I just start cramping all of a sudden. I haven't had my period in about 2 months. Are these things signs of getting my period again? Thanks Smile

 

Hey chica!

It maybe that you're about to get your period; here's a link that talks about the same question you asked.

Birth control pills are NOT wrong! There's nothing wrong with being safe and smart.
And there are lots of other uses for birth control pills than just to prevent pregnancy, they can also be used to regulate your period. Some girls go a whole month with a period, but hey its your call.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!! hi so I really wanna use tampons but I don't know how I should ask my mom. I have had my period for 8 months like and it is regular now I want to try tampons because pads are really uncomfortable. But i just dont know how to ask and i am afraid she will say no .
Can you please give me a few ideas how to ask, and I don't have my period now but I will in a few weeks. Thanks so. Much




Hey girl,

Just let her know how much it would mean to you to grab a box of tampons and give it a try! Tell her you feel ready to take this next step - you're responsible enough to change them when you have to, and you're so excited to feel less uncomfortable/dirty by tossing pads to the curb. Remind her that sports, swimming, and other activities will be way easier with tampons. Just let her know how much you really want to try them. Even offer to put your allowance towards a box, if she lets you. Good luck! <3
