Why does your period stop if you have sex during it?

Every woman is different, if it does stop yours then good for you.  I'm with most everyone else though, that's gross.

Stress can really make a woman's body react. Or sometimes if women are really active, like a runner or another fast paced sport could stop a period. Age as well. It could be nothing, but to be sure, you should see your gyno and let them know so they can do a few tests. It's better to know. Then you're stress level will go down and all will be ok :)

Your period can only last as long as it takes to expel the blood and tissue that has lined the uterine wall.  Your hormones control that and once your period has started, you are no longer building up uterine lining, so taking a bath (or anything else) can't make it last longer.  My grandmother used to tell my mom that washing her hair while she was on her period would make her sick... where did they come up with this stuff?

Depends on why your period was supposed to stop... Do you think you might be pregnant, or are you taking some sort of medication??  Both might affect this, I'd guess.  If you have a period that is lasting as long as 2 weeks, you should definitely see a doctor.

A period or Menses is the shedding of the uterine lining.  Where an egg had it been fertalized during the month would have attatched itself. This "normally" happens every 28 days however some women have longer or shorter cycles.  Bleeding will occur for 3-8 days and is completely normal. The female is free to do anything she wishes during this time, swimming, excersize, sex.  As long as she feels up to it, there are no boundries.

During a menstrual cycle the uterine lining builds up in preparation for an egg to be fertilized.  If the egg is not fertilized, the extra tissues are not needed, so they are shed along with blood during a period.

A period is a monthly cycle your body goes through . your body releases an egg and if that egg is not fertilized by male sperm then blood is released.We have a period every 28 days and this is part of womanhood,we have it because usually a woman finds herself one day wanting a child.The cause of it is actually a curse GOD put on women when Eve sinned,you will find it in the BIBLE.That was a womans curse,to bear children and if not the Period stage is what we go through instead!!Some women have heavy periods,but others only experience light flows!!

It could because you're just starting. When I started, I missed a lot. Even now my mother can go for months without getting her period. Other things need to be taken into consideration though; are you very active or not eating enough? Anorexia or low muscle mass due to playing sports and exercising will cause amenorrhea, which stops your period in an effort to conserve energy for your body. If either of those is true, then that may be a problem that could lead to infertility later in life. If not though, then it's probably just because you're still young.

Ya it happens sometimes, especially if you have sex a few times in a day. Dont worry

It's because of the Plan B. It can take a while for your period to get back to normal. The gyno should have explained this to you.

because they put as small amount of hormones into your body to make the body think it's pregnant thus stopping the womb from emptying itself and you having a period

it may just be some x-tra blood from ur period...if u just finished ur cycle or are about to start. it can also be a cut in or around your vaginal area...the best answere would come from your doctor.

maybe its the uterine lining. the menstrual blood is composed of partly blood and partly tissue. the uterus produces a lining and it gets thicker and thicker due to our hormones. if pregnancy does not occur, hormones drop, and the uterus sheds its lining during the menstrual period.\n\nbut for you to be sure, you should go to a gynecologist and check what really that is.

I'm assuming you ruled out pregnancy. Assuming that, you should know that it's not unusual for a woman to have her cycles stop temporarily after going off the Pill. It's nothing to worry about but you should check with your doctor. He/She can give you a hormone shot that will bring the periods on, but depending on your particular situation, he might encourage you to wait it out for about a year to see if the periods restart on their own.

I don't think it stops, I think it is simply that you've washed yourself and no blood is coming out... It's not as if you lose gallons of blood each time you have a period (although sometimes it seems that way!!) - it's not a constant flow!\n\nAs to what the other girl said - at night - you're lying down so unless you have a heavy period, the blood will sit inside you and wait for gravity to do it's thing when you're out of bed!! \n\nThese are my thoughts anyway... I'm not a doctor!!

If you have not had the depo shot, you may be experiencing a heavier and longer flow because you have a build up of debris in the lining of your uterus from past cycles that didn't clear everything out. You might need a D & C to clean it up and get everything going smoothly again. I have had periods that lasted for more than 3 weeks, than started again a week later. If having sex restarts your flow once it has stopped, you definitely need to see a doctor about this. Unless you have reason to believe you may have suffered a miscarriage, monday should be soon enough. You will not bleed to death, but you can become anemic to the point of needing a blood transfusion if you let this go on too long. There are also medications that will help dry up your flow but you must take them under a doctor's supervision. See your doctor soon.\n\nDefinitely talk to your mother about this. She will be able to reassure you that everything will be fine better than we can. So don't be shy. Just talk to her in your room or wherever you can be private and tell her what's going on. She will notice for herself soon anyway, so ease your mind and talk to her now.
