Your period will not be consistent for about a year or two, so you shouldn't worry if you have a heavy period, but the definition of a heavy period would probably be changing a tampon every 30 minutes and it is a Super.  That is heavy, but heavy is really anything that you are not used to and you need to give it some time before you know that info.  You will know when to change your tampon when you wipe and see a little red on the TP, or at least this is how I did it, but don't leave the same tampon in for too long as you can get bacterial infections because the bacteria will adhere to the tampon if it is not soaking up blood.  You will figure it out with experience, and yes, you can sleep with a tampon in, just make sure that during the peak of you period, the 2nd or 3rd day when it is the heaviest, wear a tampon to fit your flow.  I know this all sounds weird, but really, it will come to you.  Oh, I am saying tampons because that it all I wear, but didn't start my period til I was 15 and I was a virgin  and assuming you are too, and it was uncomfortable to wear tampons cause I didn't know my body well enough to figure out how to insert them.  Also, if the hymen is not broken, the tampon might not insert as well or it will hurt.  You can tell when to change your pad and I would do this often as they can create a smell cause they are worn outside of the body.   sorry, It has been a long time since I have had to think about a first period, but I wish you the best.

People in general have about 5 or 6 pints ( I learned it last week now I cant remember). Women lose about 1 cup of blood during the menstrual cycle. You can smell the blood only when it hits oxygen, that is because it breaks down even more then, its normal to smell something because the blood is so rich. I dont think others can really smell you. Can you smell when another person has their period? Not usually!

Yeah, my period was heavier when I was on Provera.  I hated it!  I stopped getting it, I'm now on Mirena.  It's so great!  : )

Everybody's body is different. I start spotting/period a few weeks before it's time for my shot and within a few days of the shot it stops.  The weight thing, it took them a while to put weight on me I didn't gain right away.  I think I weighed in around 112 and I finally reached 120 in about 1 1/2 now I down to 117 usually.  I did bleed once non stop for about a week it was really scary but that hasn't happened in a while (knock on wood).  Good luck and take care of yourself.

when you have your period you gain water weight. But when your periods over then you go back to normal weight. sometimes when i have it I cant button my jeans because of the water weight. to Avoid that you can get Midol.. good luck..

You're not abnormal in having heavy periods, both my mum and i have it really heavy.  i find for the first two days i have to use super plus, cos a super isn't enough - 30 mins is about my limit too.  having a baby weakens the pelvic muscles as well as changing period patterns.  if you're really worried see a doctor, but you're certainly not alone!

yes, the less body fat you have in your body the less of a period you have. i am not a doctor so i would suggest consulting one on if this is ok or not.

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.

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

Your weight plays a huge part in your period. If you are heavy, a lot of times you can get your period without ovulating. (I know because this happens to me). But this does not mean that you can't get pregnant. Sometimes you will ovulate and not know it- so be careful!!! If you are too thin you stop getting your period all together.   I have been trying to get pregnant and can't, so i went to the doc and they told me I have pcos. Which means basically i will get my period and a lot of times not ovulate. The only thing I can do to help this is to lose a lot of weight. So - yes weight plays a huge part in your period. Plus i don't know how old you are but if you are young- it takes a few years before your periods become regular.

How old are you? If you are not old enough to be in perio-menopause or menopause, then you should not have that long of a cycle. I think you are having a hormone imbalance and might want to go get a blood test to find out which one is lacking.\n\nThere is a broad range of "normal" among menstruating women. Unpredictable or long menstrual cycles are normal for teenagers and women in their 40s. If you are a teen, you can expect cycles to even out with time. If you are nearing the age of menopause, you can expect menstrual cycles to become longer and eventually to stop. If you are not a teen or older than 40 and your cycles are shorter or longer than 21 to 35 days, there is a chance that you have an underlying problem. \n\nAny big change in your menstrual pattern or amount of bleeding that affects your daily life requires a medical check by a health professional. This includes menstrual bleeding for three or more menstrual cycles that:\n\nLasts longer than 7 days.\nIs very heavy. If you are passing large clots or soaking a large pad per hour for 8 hours, your bleeding is considered heavy.\nOther symptoms you should have checked include:\n\nBleeding between menstrual periods. \nPelvic pain that is not linked to menstrual bleeding and lasts longer than a day.

Its normal its a foreign object in your body and your body us trying to get rid of it by bleeding and flushing it out. At the time of insertion you may restart your cycle and many women complain they will get their period again. If you go more than a week with heavy bleeding I would go to the Dr and if the cramping worsens. Now by heavy what do you mean? are you having to change your pad every 2-3 hours?
