I often spot for a week just before my period. Is the spotting accompanied by stomach cramps/breast soreness or upset stomach? If yes, you're probably about to get your period.

Every girl has her own unique internal timetable. Most girls get their period from 9-16. During the year or so before menstruation starts, the physical changes that happen are underarm and pubic hair, a clear or yellow vaginal discharge, breast development, and even a growth spurt.

I can honestly say that I don't suffer from PMS that badly.  I get the cramps and sore breasts but my emotions never get the best of me.  My husband never knows when it's that time of the month unless I tell him.  I guess I am just fortunate that way.

Have you made any changes in your diet recently? Do you eat healthy foods and exercize regularly? It might be a problem associated with the birth control pills, or it might be a coincidence. In either case, that sounds like a lot to gain in one month. I'd ask your doctor if I were you.

it could be ovulation pains since you ovulate about 12-14 days before your period.

It really depends on the women. I actually loss a pound or two when i have my period, because it makes me hyperactive and not want to eat. Most women gain one or two pounds because of water weight and cravings.

Congratulations on getting your period. It usually last up to 7 days. The premenstrual symptoms last a few days before your period.  It is good to learn to keep a calendar so you know when you are bloating. Day 1 is your period, and pms is usually day 21. Dont have sex at 11, and no birth control medicine. Respect your health so no medicine is needed.  It is best to have hobbies to prepare for life ahead, and finish school. Blessings!

I assume you mean hungry? \n\nIts hormonal.  Estrogen fades as you get ready to start a period.  Estrogen helps keep insulin under control.  Insulin, thus, can go wild.  The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in.  Thus, right before your period, insulin is madly tucking food and water in cells, causing bloating and weight gain.\n\nThe food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose.  If insulin tucks in too much glucose (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia).  If the brain senses a low blood sugar condition, it requests food, lots of it, high carb food like chocolate and potato chips and french fries and such.  \n\nThat is why you may be hungry before your period.\n\nTo find out whys and what to do, visit www.hufa.org

Your cycle is calculated by counting from the first day of one period to the first day of your next period. It is usually 23 to 28 days between but varies for different women.

Premenstrual syndrome. It refers to the change in a woman's body / attitude on the days leading up to her period.

well, alot of times when you first get your period, it is really irregular, it could be right on time again which would be 28-35 days, any day after the 35 would be considered late. and it could be 3 months until you start again. but the best way that you can really tell when you are going to start your period again is if you feel cramps or bloating which usually happens 1 week before you start your period but everyone is different. the best choice for you would be to keep a calendar and write down every day that you start your period and how long it lasts. and look at all the months that you had your period and you will notice a patern. so then you will be able to track your period.Good luck hun and congrats on becoming a woman!

You are obviously stressing about it. Stress can delay your period.

Yes. The menstrual cycle is a 28 day cycle rather than a month long one. In fact, it's the time between your periods is usually 28-(no. of days of your period) so you may well have overlap in a certain month.

It increases around the time of ovulation (about 10 days after you start your period).\n\nAlso, before sex...you're simply aroused.\n\nIf it's really bad, tell your dr. about it.  Birth control sometimes lessens the amount during the month when you're not ovulating.
