Banish PMS forever! Say see-ya to mood swings

  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?

Do ya get majorly moody when Aunt Flo comes to call? We feel ya. Luckily, there’s a cure for what ails ya…

 

The cause

Some girls’ hormonal changes mess with the brain’s serotonin, a hormone that improves moods. The result? A gloom ’n’ doom attitude.

 

The cure

“Avoid caffeine. It can make you a little more anxious, and that can make mood swings worse,” Dr. Hirsch says. Studies find that calcium might help prevent crankiness during PMS, so make sure you’re getting your three cups a day of dairy. Get plenty of sleep, and stay active. “Exercise will help your mood,” Dr. Hirsch adds. And it can’t hurt to warn your friends and family when PMSing—they’ll know not to take your crabby ’tude personally.

Tomorrow I’m going to be staying at a waterpark for 2 days, the problem is, I hav en’t been keeping track of my period. What if it happens at the waterpark? The symptoms I’ve been having lately is that my discharge is thick. Does that mean it’s coming this week? PLEASE help! I appreciate it so much

Is it safe to use vaseline on your tampon to help it go in?
Thanks!

 

Hey girl!

According to this site, it could cause bacterial infections and dryness, so it's not.

Mods? Can You Help Mii?!
I want to know if I have PMS? Im always Moody, my mom is always saying Im very argumentative,always wanting to yell and be so angry and sometimes Im so sadd. Either way My discharge has been really heavy lately and I had it for a long time when will my period come?




Hey babe,

It's possible that you could be having PMS, although it would be strange to without a period.  You may just be in a strange mood.  As far as your period, there's no way to predict when it will come.  It's different for every girl.
