hi guys, i have a super regular period. according to my app my fertile days were june 14th-20th and 18th was ovulation day , i had sex on the 20th and took a plan b about 45 minutes after fast forward i usually get sore breast about a week before period starts this time i got sore breast about 3 ish days before period is supposed to start and only lasted about 3 days lol according to my app my periods have been coming every 27 days ish today is day 29 i took a $1 pregnancy test and it was negative anyone have this issue after taking a plan b?

I’m 18 and when I’m on my period I literally don’t have an urge to eat. For example I had a small breakfast at around 10 am and at around 5 pm I realized I hadn’t eaten anything else for the whole day. I feel like it’s a big thing where other women wanna eat everything on their periods but I don’t really feel that. Is this normal?

I’m a late, like really late, girlie (never had period until now) and just today I found this large brown-rusty-red stain on my underwear and I’m not sure if it’s my first period 🥲 Plus I thought I would be fine telling my mum about it but I ended up scared and worried about telling her. Any advice on that as well?

I've never used a tampon. I was going to go swimming with a friend in like 2 days and so I thought maybe to try. I've only tried one other time and I just can't do it. I can't get the applicator inside and like... It just won't go in. And my mom showed me how to but I just can't do it. I don't think I'm relaxed enough.

And I'm trying right now yk but I couldn't get it, again, and now I'm just sitting here sobbing on the toilet because I'm like emotional and I can't get this tampon in and idk what to do...

Idk how to get it in there, I like can't relax enough, and I'm anxious because I've never put anything up there and yeah idk what to do.

And I know if like, I don't feel comfortable with it, I probably shouldn't do it, but I like WANT to try but I can't get it...idek I just don't know what to do about it. I just can't get it inside.

I’m so annoyed right now. 😭
I arrived at the beach today for a 10-day vacation… and my period started literally on the first day.
The worst part is that my cycle isn’t regular enough to predict when it’s coming, so there wasn’t really anything I could do to prepare.
My first 3 days are pretty heavy, day 4 is still not great, day 5 gets lighter, and after that I still have several days of light bleeding/discharge. It honestly feels like I’m going to lose most of my beach vacation because of this.
What would you do in this situation? Do you still go swimming (tampons, menstrual cups, etc.), or do you just accept that you’ll have to stay out of the water for a while? I’d really appreciate any tips because I’m genuinely upset.

I’m 16 and I’ve always had very irregular periods and started my period at 12-13. They usually come for 5-7 days regularly without cramps and have a normal flow. The only problem is that they come every 6+ months and they’re very unpredictable. I’m a bit frustrated because I’ve asked my mom and my pediatric doctor about this, but they’ve just reassured me that it’s normal. Is this true? Most of my friends don’t have this problem and it’s making me insecure about it.

Feel like I should probably clarify before saying anything else; I’m 17, and I’ve had periods since I was 9-10 I believe. I’m also disabled in several ways (hEDS, PoTS, etc) and I know they can be comorbid with things like endo.

I’ve always had REALLY awful heavy periods and cramps. I usually wear period underwear and have to change at least twice a day. If I have to use pads instead, I replace those maybe every 3-4 hours? I often bleed through my clothes too.

I wouldn’t call my cramps “debilitating” but they are certainly disabling. I always know they’re there and can’t really tune them out. I’ve cried a few times during really bad flare ups. The pain can trigger panic attacks most days. Paracetamol and heat doesn’t usually help. I use Kind Patches (specifically the larger dose for period relief). I spend most of my time lying down in the foetal position. It makes it hard to focus and complete daily tasks. It feels like the pain gets slightly worse each month.

It also triggers really bad hEDS and PoTS flare ups which is just dreadful on top of the already hellish periods.

I’ve never known if I’m just overreacting or not because, of course, I don’t know what “normal” period cramps feel like. I feel like it’s not severe enough to be endometriosis and I wanna see what other people with endo or similar conditions think.

Any help is really appreciated and I’m happy to clarify things in the comments. Thank you so much 💕

I want to fucking ascend and die I hate this sm. the thing is I got lucky with my cramps cause they aren’t too bad but the flow? NAH. shits kinda heavy. hope that apple was delicious Adam and Eve, thanks a lot, im an emotional wreck thanks to you two.

Hello, around December I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and my doctor recommended me to start the pill it’s called Optimizette gé.

Its been around two months since I’ve been taking it everyday in the evening and I’ve missed like once or twice.

It was fine until last week my period started and it hasn’t stopped, it’s not like my usual period it’s not heavy and there is little to no pain but its been going for longer than my normal period.

The problem is I’m going back to my family’s place for the summer and my mom doesn’t know I’m taking the pill because she dosent want me to but I’m 20 now and I decided for myself, I don’t want to tell her because I don’t want more problems.

But now I’m scared my period won’t stop and I won’t be able to get help without telling her until September when I start uni again and I’m alone.

Been having periods for a decade and still don’t know how tf to cope with it. Like ts makes me want to rip the uterus out and I be feeling and hearing things moving there idk if I am tweaking. It’s like every time I move up the age bracket, this thing is intentionally getting worse and fucking me up. I had better quality of life as a teen than an adult. I am HEAVILY JELOUS of people that do not deal with this. Why tf does it feel like someone is stomping on my back . I just had to let it out bc wtf is this experience. WHAT . THE . FUCK.

Hi, i wanted to share something happen first time with me. It always happened before period starts and not this intense. So when i woke up on my first fay of period i felt so low that i started crying and it was so bad that it looks like someone of my own died. So i want you all to please let me know is this normal so I shouldn't be panicking. Thankuuuu😘

hello! i’m newly 13 & i’ve had my period since 2 months before i turned 12. i’ve noticed that, when people usually count 28 days, i count 20. i’ve tried using cycle calculators & they aren’t accurate bcuz they don’t accept 20 days. my mom told me this was normal, since i’ve only had my period for a little over a year, but i’m a bit worried. it’s been like this consistently for like a year. it makes me worried & stressed. is this normal for right now?

I just want a place to say this because I haven't talked about it with anyone, but it is my monthly struggle. I always—I mean always—get blood on my shorts. I use pads, and they leak. And my pad isn't even full most of the time; the blood just goes where it wants to. Sometimes I just changed it, and it still happens. I tried tampons—the same thing. I even tried those postpartum diapers, and they still leaked onto my pants at work. It was so embarrassing.You'd think by now, in my mid-30s, I'd have figured it out. But my blood is like water—it finds an exit. TMI, I know. I just wanted to talk about my struggles.

Girls, my period is a week late. My graduation is in two weeks. I need it to come in the next couple of days so I can look my best during the ceremony. Any recommendations on how to induce it?
PS: I am not pregnant.
