Do you mean pads?\n\nIt's called menstruation.\n\nTalk to your parents or a trusted adult about it.

1.   Have intercourse. Female orgasms may stimulate the first uterine contractions. Also, semen contains the hormone prostaglandin, which may soften the cervix, encouraging the beginning of labor.  \n  \n2.   Have an enema and/or drink castor oil, both of which stimulate the bowels, which produces prostaglandin.  \n  \n3.   Drink tea with parsley or cumin seeds.  \n  \n4.   Have acupressure and homeopathic treatments administered carefully by an experienced practitioner.  \n  \n5.   Massage nipples either with fingers or a warm towel. This stimulates the production of oxytocin, which causes uterine contractions.  \n  \n6.   Walk, which also stimulates the release of oxytocin.  \n  \n7.   Receive a dose of pitocin intravenously by a doctor. Pitocin is a synthetic form of oxytocin, which may induce labor.  \n  \n8.   Have a doctor or midwife rupture the membranes (break the water bag) that surround the fetus.  \n  \n9.   Have a doctor or midwife "strip" the membranes that surround the fetus. This is a common practice that may stimulate the beginning of labor.  \n  \n10.   Have a doctor apply prostaglandin as a gel to the cervix (often as a precursor to administering pitocin).

Contrary to popular belief menstrual cramps are not a necessary part of being a woman, excluding health problems such as endometriosis most women can prevent period pains all together, or at the very least cure the pain when they do get any easily without resorting to painkillers and without messing up their bodies with extreme hormonal methods.\n\nPeriods are only as good or bad as YOU make them – if you have a good attitude towards your period this does effect your periods including making period pains less painful, also of course if you have a positive attitude about your body it also means you are more likely to research and learn about it and so find out that there are in fact a lot of things you can do to prevent menstrual cramps all together.\n\nHere are some ideas both to prevent and ease menstrual cramps;\n\n•Do not use painkillers, these actually increase period pain over time as your body build immunity and gets used to the painkillers being within your system, not only that but they simply numb the pain they do not actually do anything about the cause of the pain – pain is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong, don't ignore it. Coming off painkillers if this is what you normally use can be hard because the next few periods after stopping using painkillers can seem more painful, but if you use other methods to prevent or cure menstrual cramps it does get better.\n\n•Take herbal teas, many herbal teas are ideal for menstrual pains as well as other menstrual or cycle related problems including curing PMS, reducing flow, inducing your periods and regulating your menstrual cycle. Herbs to try are as follows; Lemon balm, Black Haw, Blessed thistle, Camomile, Wild marjoram, Red raspberry, Wild strawberry, Valerian, Yarrow, Raspberry leaf, Blue cohosh, Dong quai – Check with a health store to make sure they are right for you, some stores will also sell women's blends that would help as well.\n\n•Don't use tampons, as well as being very bad for vaginal health many tampons are also made in such a way that they expand lengthways meaning that they can expand straight into your cervix, which is already delicate due to menstruation, and increase cramping. Commercial pads are also best avoided because as well as also being bad for vaginal health they are generally uncomfortable so hardly help with menstrual cramps. If you use these options consider other options such as; rubber bell-shaped menstrual cups, silicone bell-shaped menstrual cups, diaphragm as menstrual cups, homemade menstrual cups, softcups, organic tampons, sponges, padettes, padded panties, organic pads, cloth pads, homemade pads, free-flow, free-flow layering, free-flow instinctive, extraction, toilet paper, period blankets, etc.\n\n•Avoid salty foods and alcohol, these can increase bloating by retaining water, and so make you feel generally sluggish as well as making cramping worse.\n\n•Drink lots of water, this can aid in avoiding bloating. This will also help with headaches or migraines brought on by menstruation. Also adding lemon juice, a natural diuretic can decrease bloating.\n\n•Eat your greens, and a healthy diet can make you feel a lot better at the best of times, but during menstruation it can be a good pick up and help avoid that sluggish feeling.\n\n•Avoid foods like dairy and caffeine, generally these can cause problems for people, during menstruation this can be particularly true, many find these increase period pains. Also avoid soy products; these are notorious for causing menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take up yoga, this is a very good exercise tip because as well as being gentle exercise it also has stretching that can help even further and breathing exercises that can help relax you and so further aid in relieving menstrual cramps.\n\n•Take a bath, a nice warm bath can help relax you and the heat can ease period pains as well, avoid things that can harm your vagina like bubble bath, however some nice

I'll admit that I am a guy, but I am taking like 3 sex ed classes right now (highschool grr).\n\nIt depends entirely on the person, some people have it constantly but it gets worse once a month. 4 days is a normal amount of time for the flow cycle of menstruation.

its not that simple, you have to be overlating, usually mid cycle 10 days after period

Okay, I'll bite.\n\nNo, it doesn't all come out at once, and it's not a steady stream either.  It's more like spurts.  Some days are heavy, some days are not.  You usually have a heavier flow during the first few days of menstruation, then it kind of tapers off.

Help you with what?  It was your period.  Don't be embarrassed.  Every girl has it sooner or later.

I would defiantly go to the gynecologist! They will probably put you birth control pills to regulate your menstrual cycle. Hope this helps!

You can try an experiment and see if you significantly change it. Don't know if it will work so you can let me know if it does. See this site below for info on what to try. It is supposed to be normal according to medical dictionary-- sharp pain on the side that it occurs.\n\nhttp://phifoundation.org/menses.html

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.

IUD insertion is easier during menstruation because the cervix is softer. It's common practice for doctors to do this.

A normal, regular menstruation lasts for a few days (usually 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 7 days is considered normal).  Laying down or standing up or being active will not alter the time that it takes for your uterus to shed the endometrium lining, which is the the tissue that is mixed with the blood.

If you start your period while out in the ocean do make sure there are people shark spotting. There shouldn't be too much of a problem if you are using a tampon but you should make sure you are not in the water early morning or at dusk. These are regular shark hunting times.  If you can get a wetsuit, that would be the best idea. It's not all that saucy but it's better to be safe then sorry. I do hope you have a great time!

I would not recommend this method due to the side effects that can occur. There are other ways to try and induce labor which are much safer, if you are already at term. These include nipple stimulation, walking, eating spicy food, and sex with your partner ejaculating. Visualization also works.  I do not even recommend it to my personal clients.

Yes, go to your doctor and ask for norethisterone. It's a form of progesterone which will delay your period until you want it to happen. It's perfectly safe to do.
