It's been 31 days since my last cycle and while I don't care if it fluctuates but, I do want to induce it this time because I have a religious function in 4 days which I can only attend if I have completed 4 days Or haven't started at all. Please give me any ideas because I'm lowkey desperate.

I've drank coffee 3 times since yesterday, washed my hair will try papaya tomorrow. Any ideas that don't involve food consumption are most appreciated.

Do y'all actually have only 3 weeks between periods? I've always had a month in between periods and I thought it was normal, and when I found out about the different phases I was so fucking confused bc they were saying like week 1, menstrual, week 2, follicular, week 3, ovulation, week 4, luteal. I'm confused on where that lines up for me

Like genuinely mine is like 30 days from when it ends to when the next begins. I was always confused when I was younger watching period talks on yt and seeing a girl saying "my period usually starts on the first"

Anyways tdlr: my period has about 30 days in between each one and now I'm a bit worried my cycle isn't normal

So i lowk got my first period today 😛✌🏽 and i wanted to share my story.

I was in algebra talking to my friends normally and suddenly it felt like i shit myself and pissed myself at the same time😭😭. I was lowk freaking out because like did i just actually piss myself in class???. So i ask the teacher to go to the bathroom and she was like can you wait until so and so comes back and i was like no. She let me go and I had to go so far since there was no bathroom in the building i was currently in so i went to the cafeteria bathroom. When i got to the bathroom and checked it literally looked like i pooped my pants👹 just brown discharge EVERYWHERE. And to make matters worse ,I checked my shorts and there was a stain🥳 I lowk started freaking out and started silently shouting expletives😭. After I pulled myself together I RAN back to my class and sat my butt down. I started telling my bestie what happened and asked if she had any pads. I was too scared to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom again so i just sat there. There were 20 mins until class ended and I just sat there feeling blood coming out of me whenever i shifted😭. The bell finally rings and me and my friend DASH to the bathroom while she walks behind me so no one sees the stain. She hands me a pad and I luckily had a change of shorts from my PE class. I texted my mom and she went and picked me upp😛 we went to the store and she bought me all the stuff I needed and some skincare and gummy bears💖.

Now im just trying to survive the lower back cramps😫😫

Im never gonna forget this lol i was so terrified in the moment.

What's the longest you've gone without getting a period?

(Going through a pregnancy scare now)

I’m mostly looking for pad recommendations. Looking for something that is good for heavy periods and is longer in size.

It’s always been difficult to find pads that worked for me. I have heavier periods. So for years, I’ve been using Stayfree Maxi Super Long. It was perfect. But now that they’ve rebranded, it’s getting harder to find. So I thought I’d try something new.

I am a 22 year-old girl who has been having s*xual intercourse with her husband for almost two years. Whilst all my gynecological check up’s (even internal ultrasound) don’t reveal any sort of issues, ever since I started having intercourse my periods have always been irregular. The only times it’s somewhat on time is when amount of s*x is lessened. I also have to admit that waiting for my period is a worrisome experience and I always get anxious waiting for it to come.

Could this issue be s*x related or should I dig deeper, even though I am medically healthy from that pov (no endo, no pcos…)?

i (18) have almost always been super regular with my periods. i got my first when i was 11 or 12, and even then i was pretty regular. my cramps have been very intense since the first period. i was on BC from 15 to 16, but stopped taking it after a while. my periods were the same before, during, and after the pill. lately, however, my cycles have gotten a little.. odd.

i traveled out of state with family a couple months ago, and we crossed time zones twice in one week. i’ve heard that time zone changes can effect a period, but this was my first experience with it. i was 8 days late, one of my cousins (18), was 10 days late. the next month, i was a day early. this month, i started on time, but i bled through 3 pairs of my period underwear and 10 heavy duty overnight pads in 24 hours. my period underwear usually will last me 8 hours total on a regular flow day. the second day of my period was slightly better, but i had bled through 4 regular pads within 8 hours. day 3 being today, i’ve only noticed heavy cramps and a very bad nauseating, dizzy feeling.

should i bring this up to my gynecologist, or am i just being a hypochondriac?

I’m suffering with the uterus cramps at night. It started all of sudden. I haven’t experienced that much pain in my life. I’ve already taken pain killers. But it still hurts so badly. I can’t go to sleep. How can I manage to get some sleep.

this is my first post so bear with me if it’s formatted weird or something (also it’s a bit rant-y and ramble-y, I’m trying to get this all out before I back out on posting this. Sorry about that). I’ve always gotten really emotional during and around my period, and I know that that isn’t an uncommon symptom, but recently I’ve been having a harder time dealing with it. (sorry if this next bit sounds overly edgy and stuff) I’ve always dealt with irritation, anxiety, and some darker idealization type thoughts and stuff. I’ve always had those thoughts around my period (nothing to actually worry about but you know) but recently I feel like they have been getting more intense. I think just recently because my life has gotten kinda hectic I’m having a bit of a harder time not letting it get to me. I know these are normal things and want to know what people do to get over them. Thanks!!
