Banish PMS forever! Say see-ya to mood swings

 

 

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.

ive just recently started my period and i sometimes get my period every two weeks, sometimes nine days apart. Ive only gotten my period 4 times so far so should I just wait and see if my cycle gets more regular over time and if not after awhile go to a doctor? thankss xoxo

 

Hey! it's fairly common for periods to be irregular for the first year, but by all means go see a doctor if you feel something's not right.

I just got my period for the first time ever like a few weeks ago. And I already wanna use tampons my friends say you'll be ready by then and regret not doing it earlier and I'm already super sick of pads. What are good tampons to use at first? Am I ready? Also how to I ask my mom about it?

Hey girl,

Tampons with an applicator are probably the easiest for first time use, but it's best to talk to your mom before you try them! It seems awkward to bring it up, but she's been there and has tons of advice to share! If you feel too awkward to bring up the conversation, you could text her or leave a note that you want to talk. She'll understand -- she's a girl too!
