depo provera, what i would NOT recommend it. I had all sorts of problems like weight gain, mood swings and it was not good. They offer a pill that slows it considerably. But that is about it.

Hiadiform moles, ovarian cysts, and hormone issues (estrogen progesterone, insulin, thyroid to name a few) can all cause cycle interruption as can nutritional deficiencies and sudden severe weight loss. Some athletes will stop having there periods when there body fat falls below a certain percentage.

Exercise and ibuprophen. Also, calcium and magnesium taken every day decreases PMS and cramps, at menstrual time, to almost zero.

Hi:), Registered Nurse here; Providing you have no underlying health issues, you can maintain your regular exercises activity throughout your menstrual cycle, from day one to the end.  Having said this, now if you find yourself to fatigued to maintain normal, routine of exercises, cut back to where you feel comfortable.  I know if you experience heavy menstrual flow, or haven't gotten enough rest, this can reduce your endurance level.  If you find it to strenuous, one doesn't have to exercises everyday, you could give yourself a pass on the days of your menstrual cycle that just seem to harsh.  However if your a Basketball player, or other sport, you may not always have this option.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

Normal - no, possible - yes.\nThe reason I say it is not normal is because anytime we allow stress to find a way to start making us physically ill or starts to make our body work differently than normal, that is "not normal."\nAnything to freak out about, probably not.  If you KNOW you are not pregnant, I would suggest trying to find a way to work your stress out and see if your cycle gets back on track.\nIf it is stress, realize that you may not start on the next day "you are expected to," and it may just show up - once that happens, that will be your body telling you that you are somehow learning how to manage differently and hopefully your cycle will get back on a regular cycle.\nHope this helps, good luck.

Lay a heating pad on your lower abdomen.  Stay away from caffeine during your period.  It tends to make cramps worse.  Ibuprofen works well.  You can also get put on birth control pills, they help regulate periods and also decrease menstrual cramps.  You can also get a prescription for prescription strength ibuprofen, it works really well.

It is true that when you lose a lot of weigh, or starve yourself, amorrhea can occur- which is the cessation of menstruation. It happens a lot in anorexics when they lose too much weight. Like other systems in the body, the reproductive system shuts down as well -this can affect fertility. \n\nThis is not the recommended way to stop a period. You would be better off using Seasonale or one of the other types where you only have a few periods per year.

I've heard it's okay, but it doesn't actually stop the flow... here is what I found on-line...\n\nSwimming and having a bath\nYou can swim and have baths while you have your period. The water will quickly wash out any blood in the vagina and after the first few minutes the loss will be so small no-one else will see it. \nBathwater, pool water or sea water cannot get inside your body when you have a period (just as it cannot get inside when you are not having a period). \nGoing to the toilet before going swimming could help you feel more confident about this, since the flow of urine will help to wash away any blood from the vagina. \nWomen who swim a lot usually use a tampon. They need to remove the tampon as soon as they get out of the water, and put in a dry one.\n, but I don't know the reasoning behind it.

yes, they can put you on a low-dose pill to regulate your period, reduce period pain and make life a lot easier on you.  They can also put you on a pill that means you don't get your period unless you want to get it... and I read recently that this is actually better for you. \n\nThe human woman was only mean to have about 10 periods in her lifetime, starting having children when they were 'ripe' then continuing to have children throughout their life until menopause/death.  See the attached web page for a report on what I'm trying to talk about!!\n\nYes, go on the pill.  I've been on it since I was 14 due to similar problems and would not go back.

first off, yes you can, if the first one is at the very beginning and the second is at the very end, you just have a shorter cycle.  If they come closer together, I would check with your doctor.  As far as the tampons, think about it, when you take a bath, and you don't have a tampon in, don't you bleed in the water?\nYou need to either wear a tampon, or there is something called, Instead, you can get it in the pad area, and it is a small bendable, cup like thing you can put up inside, it doesn't cause TSS (toxic shock syndrome) it doesn't absorb it, it just catches it.  I use it when I go swimming, one experience with TSS was enough for me.

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).

Apple Cider Vinegar works fast in slowing down a heavy cycle. Wow! I discovered this quite by accident after I started drinking it. I recommend it for every woman suffering from a heavy flow!"\n\n"Drink 1 or 2 glasses of tomato juice, especially V-8, every day. You'll see significant improvment in your flow, and fewer cramps in your next period\n\n"I also found water helps. Laying in the bath (for 30 to 60 minutes or so depending on your situation) really seems to work well

the menstrual cycle stops for 9 months becuase the lining of the uterus (period) is being used to help the growing cell (baby) so it doesnt shed.

Absolutely, they can.  There's that many things that can affect the mentrual cycle.  However, if you did have sex any time within the period of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn't break, there's a chance you can be preggers.

Stress & low body weight can disturb or stop you cycle completey.  It doesn't sound like you have low body weight, if your doc has put you on meds.  Your cycle should start in a week or so, every woman's body & genetics are different.

That decision can only be made by you and your doctor.  I have been advised not to stop mine.  Never had migraines until my hysterectomy.  They are now under control but removing the estrogen could cause them to become uncontrollable again.  So, it was determined by the doctor that I say on it.\n\nPlease have a frank discussion with your doctor to find out what he/she thinks is the appropriate course of action for you.

Intense physical excercise does have a tendency to inhibit the menses. It varies from person to person. The ankle injuries are the primary difference, I think.
