I get cramps the day before my period is about to come. My friends goes through weird food craving.  I think it all depends on how you PMS.

You can get a tablet on prescription from your doctor that will stop your period for that month - they are very sympathetic if you explain - ideal for when you go on holiday as well (can't remeber what the tablet is called).

You mean, for the first time? You don't know in advance, you will know when it comes.\nOnce you start having regular periods, just count days from the beginning of one period to the beginning of another for several months. The number of days will be around the same. Then you can look at your calendar and estimate the date of your next period.

A week after your period is the best time, you should also try to do it the same time every month.  Right before and during your period your breasts can feel lumpy and bumpy anyway.  You should start them at an early age, that way when your risk of cancer goes up you will know what is normal for you and what isn't.

I find that I am alot more easily aroused during my period. You know the hormones are jumping all over the place. As suggested above, if you decide to do this, either put down an old towel on the bed first, then lay down on it. You could also do it in the shower, with your partner behind you. While standing, lean forward and have him take you vaginally from behind while the warm water sprays down upon you. It seems to go deeper this way and eases my cramps. Another way to try is on your knees man behind you (doggie style). You can even leave your panties on with pad in them. he can pull them either down or to the side far enough to enter you. If you choose to do this, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Sounds as though you might have your period – congratulations! \n\nYou might want to talk to your mother or another adult they should be able to help you out – although it is important you learn all you can about your body yourself. An adult should also be able to help you celebrate your first period, like a shopping trip, nice meal, sleep over, or whatever you might be into. \n\nThe most important thing you will ever learn about your periods;\n\nPeriods are only as a good or as bad as you make them!\n\nThe more you know the better they are, for example those pains aren't a necessary part of having periods. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent them, but for the time being I highly recommend drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea and rubbing a little Clary Sage on your belly. It's nothing to be worried about, we all get our periods sooner or later and there is nothing to fear, it's a good thing once you know all about it, promise.

It really depends on your body.  Some people have really irregular periods all the time (like me) so you can never really know when they will come.  So sorry, but I'd just be ready at your normal time but know that it will probably be later.

Blood doesn't pour out of you when you have your period. It's just a very slow trickle. In just a few minutes, shower or no, nothing will likely come out.

It is your bodies way of expelling the endometrial lining in your uterus (aka period).

You should start taking an over-the-counter pain reliever (the best for menstrual pain is Aleve), two tablets 3 times daily, 2-3 days BEFORE your period is due to start and continue until it stops. Also, put a heating pad or hot water bottle in your lower abdomen at the first sign of cramps. For pain relief on-the-go, you can use a self-heating, self-sticking pad like "CUREHEAT Menstrual Relief" or "ThermaCare Menstrual" (look for them on the woman's care section of your local pharmacy). Since menstrual pain is often caused by blood clots that are too large to pass through your cervix (the opening of the uterus), you can do what I do myself, and have teached my teen daughter to do: sit on the toilet and strain like you do when trying to hard to urinate; most of the time, this dislodges the clots and offers great relief when they are expelled. Get lots of rest and keep yourself well hydrated. If these measures don't help, go to your gynecologyst, since you could have a condition such as ENDOMETRIOSIS or an hormonal imbalance that might require medical treatment like oral hormonal medications (usually the Pill), stronger analgesics, or even surgical intervention (in extreme instances). Only your doctor can accurrately diagnose and treat these conditions. I hope that my advise has been helpful, and that you get better soon.

go to an essentail oil shop and buy Clary Sage, Geranium, Lavendar and marjoram, mix 2 drops of each of these in 10Ml of a bse oil such as almond oil and rub the mix over your abdomen (front and back) twice a day for 3 days before your period starts and twice a day every day of your period and you can also do it more often if the cramps are bad.\n\nMy wife uses this mix and swears by it.

Once your period has already started, there is no surefire way to stop it or shorten it.  Only hormonal control (e.g. birth control pills, etc.) can really help you control your period.\n\nHowever, you're just bleeding out what is already in there--try hot baths and, if you are sexually active, try having sex.  Having sex and orgasming causes your uterus to contract, which will push out the blood faster.\n\nIf your period is usually more than 5-6 days, you probably won't be able to stop it so quickly with only one day to work with.  All I could recommend in that case are good tampons--I prefer OB brand for my excessively heavy flow (still trying to figure out what MY problem is!).\n\nGood luck!

Everyone is different.\nIt's obvious that your body is changing and you would definately be close to a time when your period is due.\nIf you need more information maybe you can go see the Doctor or school nurse but there are plenty of books around on the topic, even checking online.

Normally you will feel little cramps, breast tenderness and your fluids will be more liquid than normal. But to be sure about it you can search on internet an ovulation calendar and with the date of your last period they will tell you exactly when is your ovulating day.
