I read that a woman can go to puberty again if one takes certain products, is that true?

Well I do not know about puberty via hormones,and at 27 what are you concerned about. i have heard that some synthetic hormones can cause cancer, such as what is in birth control, or woman after menopause using synthetic hormones. you really have to be careful what you put into your body, also thanks for info, needed more specifics.....

My friend didnt get her period til she was 16 years old. I think its perfectly normal not to have your flow at an early age these days. Since everyone is starting to eat organic foods and such maybe all the hormones arent bugging her system. Tell her to enjoy her flowless days because once she gets it, good bye cute white pants and hello hot pads and midol.

My understanding is that this tactic works better with monophasic pills (the kind where the hormones are level over the three active weeks) than it does with triphasic ones like Ortho Tri-Cyclen (where each week is a different hormone level.)  That's something you might want to ask your doc about.  But I have been blessed by my two most recent doctors to do this on occasion as they don't feel there's any significant drawback to it.  I usually skip about every other period, just for convenience.  You might not be able to go much longer than that; some women will spot if they try to skip more than a couple consecutive periods.  But yes, you can do it.

Time to Change\nUsually, puberty starts between age 8 and 13 in girls and age 10 and 15 in boys. Some kids begin a bit earlier or later than that, and kids can experience puberty-related changes at any point during those years. That may help explain why some of your friends still look like young kids whereas others look more like adults.\n\nOne of the first signs of puberty is hair growing where it didn't grow before. Boys and girls both begin to grow hair under their arms and in their pubic areas (on and around the genitals). It starts out looking light and thin. Then, as kids go through puberty, it becomes longer, thicker, heavier, curlier, and darker. Eventually, boys also start to grow hair on their faces.\n\nWhen your body is ready to begin puberty, your pituitary (say: pih-too-uh-ter-ee) gland (a pea-shaped gland located at the bottom of your brain) releases special hormones. Depending on whether you're a boy or a girl, these hormones go to work on different parts of the body. For boys, the hormones travel through the blood and tell the testes (say: tes-teez), the two egg-shaped glands in the scrotum (the sac that hangs under the penis), to begin making testosterone (say: teh-stass-tuh-rone) and sperm. Testosterone is the hormone that causes most of the changes in a boy's body during puberty, and men need sperm to be able to reproduce (be the father of a baby).\n\nIn girls, these hormones target the two ovaries (say: o-vuh-reez), which contain eggs that have been in the girl's body since she was born. The hormones cause the ovaries to start making another hormone, called estrogen. Together, these hormones prepare a girl's body to start her periods and be able to become pregnant someday.\n\nIt's Just a Growth Spurt\nA spurt is a short burst of activity or something that happens in a hurry. And a growth spurt is just that: Your body is growing, and it's happening really fast! When you go through puberty, it might seem like your sleeves are always getting shorter and your pants are creeping up your legs. That's because you're having a major growth spurt. It usually lasts for about 2 to 3 years, and when that growth spurt is at its peak, some kids grow 4 or more inches (10 or more centimeters) in a year! At the end of your growth spurt, you'll have reached your adult height - or just about. But your height isn't the only thing that changes during puberty.\n\nWith all this quick growth, it can seem like one part of your body - your feet, for instance - are growing faster than everything else. This can make you feel clumsy or awkward. This is normal, too! The rest of your body will eventually fill out and shape up, and you'll feel less klutzy.

woman weren't built to have periods every month and it does not harm them to go without them... my girlfriend is allergic to seasonal so she takes Yasmin continuously and cannot have periods due to the pain and other symptoms of endometriosis... it is perfectly fine for her and actually has benefits like not losing iron and can reduce risks of some cancer, anyways as for the swallowing pills thing, she can try putting it in peanut butter or something crunchy that she doesnt mind swallowing, or what I do is moisten the pill in my mouth and then dry swallow it and then drink a lot of water but if I try to take it normally i freak out, also with the pills try to avoid pills with gel caps because they can have side effects (heartburn), esp for people who dont take pills well

Yes. Girls can keep growing well into their late teens. Just because you've had your period doesn't mean that puberty is over. To guess how tall you would get I'd have to know how tall your parents are. You will most closely take after one of them. Me for instance, I took after my mother. She is 5ft 4 and my dad is 6ft. I am about 5ft tall, and am 24 so definately no more growing for me!

Yasmin is Birth Control! It stops your eggs from maturing; it is not breast enhancement! Read up on stuff before you make decisions.

You're only 14, trust me, give yourself sometime and there will be somewhat of a difference. I know a girl who got her period at the age of 17 and she had small breasts. By the time she hit 20 years old she was wearin C cup bras. Other people around may seem to be developing quicker, but it doesn't mean your behind. Somewhat, breasts to develop at the same time your period comes because they're both in the same area when it comes to hormonal changes and puberty... so I guess an answer to your question could be yes.

You should consult a pediatric endocrinologist. \n(1) Treating the underlying cause or disease, such as a tumor in the pituitory gland.\n(2) Lowering the high levels of sex hormones with medication to stop sexual development from progressing. \n Hormones involved in the control of puberty include: \n    • GnRH: Gonadotropin releasing hormone, which comes from the brain in boys and in girls. Other androgens from the adrenal glands (located near the kidneys) produce pubic and axillary hair at the time of puberty. \n  • Estrogen: A female sex hormone, which is responsible for breast development in girls. It is made mainly by the ovaries, but is also present in boys in smaller amounts. \n• Sex Hormones: Responsible for t he development of pubertal signs as well as changes in behavior and the ability to have children. \nIn some cases, treatment of an underlying health problem can stop the precocious puberty from progressing. But in most cases, because there's no other disease triggering the condition, treatment usually consists of hormone therapy that stops sexual development. Other symptoms include:-\n(a) poor grades \n(b) problems at school \n(c) loss of interest in daily activities \n(d) depression.\nIt is not known whether any drug you have taken last year might have triggered such a condition or due to genetic reasons.

If we had to listen to everything we hear we'd never eat,drink or breathe again!My philosophy is...i don't need  to have periods anymore and its a pretty safe way of avoiding motherhood again,so to be honest,i'll keep going until my doctor tells me not to!

I think you should discuss it with your doctor... There probably are estrogen pills you can take, but be aware of the consequences.

Here is a guide, hope this helps you...some women take it for there time of the month, others take it because they are sexually active...

It's okay to take it once or twice in your lifetime but be careful!!!  It should only be a LAST resort as it loses its effectiveness dramatically after each use.  If you are asking about it now, just get on the real pill.

This totally depends on the woman. Some women get back on their regular cycle within 6 months, some others, it takes years. As far as her "sanity" goes, it's just hormones talking. You still need to use good birth control method so she doesn't get pregnant. If she is going absolutely insane, and can't seem to have any reprieve, there are medications that can be used to MAKE her body get back into a regular cycle. My daughter used them. They make her get her period, so she can change birth control, or whatever she chooses to do. Good luck. Be careful, and treat her kindly right now as those hormones can wreak havoc on a woman's body.

Certain medications can also make a woman lactate.

Plants often have phytoestrogens in them - natural plant-derived female hormones.   Though very feeble compared to human estrogens, they do have some estrogenic effects.  yes indeed - weight gain can result - from phytoestogenic plants & herbs. \n\nherbal drugs often have steroid-related substances in them.  yes they can and do have.   Best to avoid herbs which are intended for female use.  \n\nWe don't want the FDA to control these herbs.   We want to be fre e to use & buy without a bloody Dr's prescription & pharmacy ripoff price.  You must do research & use your judgement.  it's your life & your body - don't try to involve the FDA - they are agents of Satan himself.   \n\nhair loss is genetic in origin & needs advanced genetic therapy.  herbs do not have the power to stop it.  But I don't blame you for trying.   You live & you learn.  Experience is the best teacher.\n\nBut avoid the female herbs as much as you can.  they can indeed upset your hormonal reactions.  use common sense.

It's not dangerous at all. You might want to check with your dr. just to be sure, though. But I know they've got those new pills out that let you have only 4 periods a year or something and that's probably because there aren't any placebo pills in the packs. Good luck and have fun! :D
