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.

haha. sorry im asking yet another question. but you said to remove it between 1-2 hours or as soon as its soaked. I have a VERY light flow, so its never soaked. Should I still change even though its not soaked?!
Thanks!

Hey girl,

You should change your pad at least every 4 or 5 hours even if it is not soaked to avoid toxic shock syndrome. Try using a thinner pad if you have a light flow!

Hi! I was just wondering if you can get STDs from wearing a pad on too long? Because I wear mine for 6 hours then when i get home i change to pantyliners and keep on changing them. So I'm just wondering is it bad to keep a pad on for longer than 6 hours, will I get STDs? Or is that only for tampons? Thanks. <3

 

Hey LoveHappens, you shouldn't have a pad on for that long. It won't cause an STD, but it could lead to a rash and odor. Remove it as soon as it is soaked, or between 1 to 2 hours. Hope this helps! Xoxo

1)OK...so I am 13 and I didnt get my period yet!All my friends have theres and when I say "All" I mean ALL!!!Is there any possible way I could speed up the process...I'll do anything!PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!!
2)Is there any way I can make my boobs bigger... 3) LOL...this is a stupid one..but what does"MOD" stand for?

 

Hey girlie,  1) there's nothing you can do to get your period sooner. It'll come in its own time so be patient. 2) unfortunately nothing you can do about that either. But they will continue to grow into your late teens. 3) not a stupid question! Mod is short for moderator.

So I got my period for the fist time about 4 months ago and I haven't gotten it sense! It's freaking me out! Please answer!

 

Hey Kitcat0012, calm down lol. Periods tend to be irregular, especially the first year you get them. No worries it happens to everyone. You're completely normal chica. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Im 12 and I am going to georgia in few days what should i bring?????
help
thanks

 

 

Hey girl-

Whenever I'm going somewhere I always make a list of things I absolutely cannot forget...things like toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, undies, and my phone charger. Making a list helps me to visually check things off to make sure I don't forget anything.
