Why are women so secretive about thier periods when every woman has one?

I don't think its a case of being secretive. Because every woman has one and you get it every month its not a big deal. Theres not really a lot we feel we need to say about it. It just happens.

There are a few different reasons for having irregular periods including hormonal imbalance, infection, and stress. It would be best to see your doctor to see what is going on.

Everyone is different. Some women do not have regular menstrual cycles. There are things that can change your cycle. For example if a woman is does not meet her nutritional needs or is anorexic she may not get a period for a while. If you are very athletic this will also change your cycle. The most important thing for you to do is to see your doctor about these concerns. Remember people will always offer advice but nobody but you and your doctor can find the correct answer to your question.

Because if they could figure out why they had it or what caused it they could get rid of it, and be happier.\n\nCheck out www.hufa.org for my take on "why PMS".

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

Congratulations!  No, you definitely do not have to worry. It's annoying when your period shows up unexpectedly like that, but not everyone has an ultra-predictable cycle, especially when they're really young.  It might take a while for your body to establish a schedule, but that alone is not something to worry about.

Because all too often women will use those emotions to their advantage. It's also considered weak to let your emotions be known. Most women are turned off by this.

Because we give the gift of life. And every month an egg drops, and if it isn't implanted with semen, then we bleed(to death?). I wish that just once, a man would get a period, then they would see how it feels. They would probably die...lol. :)

We have four times as much of a problem as you gals - we get the 'curse' once a week, that's four times every month and fifty-two times a year.  Consider yourself lucky.  We also have babies, but we keep that secret..........\n\n(Klmno - of course I'm only joking, men/boys do not have a period).

No, some women just dont get regular periods, especially if you do a lot of sports. If you're concerned see a doctor. "we" should have a period every month.

happens to a lot of women stressed out, also be on the look out for no period for one or more months. if your body doesnt feel  secure, it may ovulate properly.

You are talking about a myth.  That's like saying Eve is responsible for women having periods.  It's all mythology, made up stories to give an explanation to things that at the time were unexplainable.

Because women have periods......bleeding monthly lowers hematocrit.

A lot of it may be how well hydrated you are. It's hard to drink too much water and easy to drink too little, so drink often! Women often vary wildly around the times of their periods; many women become very dry just before or right at the start of their period. Some of it may be mood, too. If you're not super into it or aren't feeling it (maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed) you're not likely to be as wet as when you're at 100%.

Because women, just like men, have a built-in, primordial cumpulsion to have sex with multiple partners.\n\nBy now, there are a bunch of women out there screaming that I'm wrong, but really...read a study, it's true.  We women may have a better ability to ignore this trait than men do, but it's still there in the background.\n\nThere is a need for us to mix up our DNA.  It's not healthy for any species to limit its breeding patterns.  Therefore, in order to keep things mixed up, humans have a tendency to look for new partners.  In women, this often connects to their menstrual cycle.\n\nYou'll also notice that women subconsiously dress in a more suggestive manner than normal, as they approach their fertile time of the month.
