Does any women out there get really emotional and start to cry when they are on the periods for no reason sometimes?

Are you under stress? That can stop periods

Not to worry, that's normal.  Many people suffer from irregular periods.  Others seem to avoid them altogether.\n\nEmily Dickinson, the famous poet, was known among her friends as someone who had difficulty with her periods.\n\nOther sufferers include Rebecca Cloutier (http://www.minnesotarivervalleyreader.com/content/view/91/175/ ), Annie Dillard (http://www.earthlight.org/earthsaint24.html ), and many other famous women.\n\nWhile we typically think this is a female problem, there are many men who suffer from irregular periods too - think e.e. cummings, William Faulker, and James Joyce, to begin with.

That actually happens to me sometimes. It's normally during my ovulation time or the week before I start my period. I asked my dr about it & she said it's normal. If it gets heavier or lasts over a week, that's when you need to worry & contact your dr.

Yes, sexual hormones could be clashing with contraceptive hormones and maybe pre-mentrual hormones - that  can make a woman very emotional.  The MOST Important thing for you to know is not to belittle her feelings.  It is very reasonable for her to feel emotional - and if she is on new birth control pills or something, that is more what you are hearing talking.\n\nYou say "Honey, everything is gonna be ok.  This doesn't sound like you - this must be the birth control talking or something else is going on - how can I help you?" and then rub her back while she talks.  Don't take what she says personally or get upset.  Just listen.  Be kind to her.  Help her to feel safe and secure and all will be well.  \n\nAnd when she is on a more even keel you can then discuss changing birth control or whatever.  Peace.

There is no reason for bleeding just because you get mad. \nI suppose that your body tenses up when you get mad, and you have something that bleeds as a result. Nothing should bleed. \nNot good! Go see your gyno doctor, and don't wait for ages: make your appointment now.

Yes, its common.  Sometimes, when my period is done I bleed just a little bit.  Nothing to worry about.  It seems like it never wants to leave us. lol

It could be. It's not uncommon for a woman to become pregnant and have light periods. Either take a home pregnancy test..or even better head to your doctor for a pregnancy blood test. \n\nGood luck to you!

Yes I have heard weight gain & loss can effect your periods.

Yes, it's normal. It's like when you are pregnant you do not get a period for nine months and the blood just builds up inside and finally when you have the kid you have a really heavy period for like three weeks. You can try taking midol. It should help you feel better.

are you old enough to be going through menopause ? also were you a hurricane victim? If so, it is common for the body to react to extreme stress in all sorts of strange ways. i went through a very hard time personally and had my period every other week for four months! I went to the doctor and they wanted to put me on birth control pills but I refused since I'd had bad reactions to the pill before and was trying to get pregnant. After awhile it just leveled out and got normal. I think you should go to the doctor though in case something is really wrong you can deal with it. it would be awful if it was too late when you found out what it was. Maybe you can get on a medical assistance program. Also many doctors will let you pay a little bit on your bill every month. take care

Your period can be a little different from month-to-month.  That's pretty normal.  Medication can definitely affect your period; so can your overall health and stress level.  If you're not feeling well or have other concerns, be sure to see your doctor! : )

It could be hormones or depression, which is linked to hormones, that happens to me alot, I would go to the doctor, they might be able to find out what exactleys causing this.\nBelieve me your not the only woman going through this, sometimes I feel like doctor jekel and mr. hyde.

Yes definitely.  Stress can cause your body to behave in abnormal ways.  It can delay getting your period, it can make the flow increase or decrease.  I know you mentioned that you are going through some stressful things but try to relax a bit.

I have found that this question of yours is NOT that unusual. When the menses begin...and each of them in your life is 'Different', there can be a starting of the menstruation cycle itself in a variety of ways. Much of this depends upon your basic health and regularity of your period, and if there is anything that is exacerbating stress, dietary factors, trauma.....these amongst many others can play a vital role in your period. The older blood is just that, and when the heavier flow comes out it brings with it the rest of this....often seen as brown and nearly grainy. Perhaps the thought of this in text is making you queasy and that is NOT my intention. It is NOT unusual for the body to start up....spot a day or two before hand and then begin the menstrual flow in its regular sequence or shall I say what is regular for you. You know your body better than anyone, and depending upon your age....other factors intervene. Age is one, again diet and exercise. Ask yourself if you're tired before this or perhaps amped ...we are ALL different. If there is a continuation of the more 'brown' or older blood, I recommed that you see a Physician....get a pelvic...for perhaps for whatever reason you might be a candidate for a D&C. Are your menses painful? If only periodically I have found that the comfort at home is warmth. Do not be afraid to soak...that is to bathe. This is hailed often, the menses as a curse, wherein it is nature's way of cleansing your uterus. It is important to at this point to say please keep your regular checkups with your gynocologist and allow your doctor to have a talk with any of your questions. I know that for myself what you have mentioned is in no way unusual. Please understand that you're NOT to keep from your physical regimen...unless you are tired..and please keep up your fluid intake.\nYour doctor will be the one to know and it might serve you well to keep a diary or small calendar in your drawer or medicine cabinet as to the regularity or the sometimes "I didnt quite expect this.." questions...all of this is important. As for a heavier flow, there is still no certainty that there will be a stopping or forestallig of the older blood. Please remember that it's your body and your own inherent body clock or circaddian rhythms dictate a lot of what is to happen to you during this time. I am not your doctor...this is merely my take from past experience and knowing many women who experience the very same thing. for now, I wouldn't worry, were I you, just keep track of this and see if there is any change in tha amount of days and flow. In conclusion, it sounds as though you are healthy, and don't rule "IN" a problem unless advised by your physician. Lastly if pain of any sort accompnies this, please inform your doctor for they can and very often WILL do a pelvic during your period. Should any problem persist, they will ( your doctor's office) refer you to a specialist if there is due cause. In and of all of this there may be the occasional fibroid or cyst. This is whyit is vital that you make and keep your appointments with your doctor.

Males don't get PMS, but we are subject to moods and outside influences that make use feel bad.  Sometimes diet plays a part in this or just stuff that happened that day.  I know that I put all kinds of self-importance on my job and how I'm performing.  If I feel like I don't do well, I can get depressed for days.  Figuring out what your trigger is can help you deal with it from a rational level.
