Girlies...period question or any advice?!
Question: Okies...well my last period finished on the 30th december or the 1st January so it wasnt expected for another week but it came today...thats exactly a week early. Im confused because it never seems to come on time and has only come on time once =/ its such a pain!
I know that its normal for teens to be irregular but what I want to know is why...
Plus does anyone have advice on how to stop leakages? I wear a very absorbant pad with wings but sometimes it still is a let down...
Or any advice on how to deal with cramps when out and about like at college when im not near any warm heat pads and stuff...
Sorry if it got a bit graphic or gross....
Any advice at all would be so much appreciated!

well i found my diet to be the problem..i had cramps that went into my legs and i couldnt even walk..so stay away from carbonated drinks like two weeks before..i actually quit drinking it and and omg it worked! my cramps were soo much lighter and the move excercise you get the easier too.plus i know it hurts but try and excercise more when you have cramps it gets the bllod flowing more..
well i use tampons myself and when i used pads they werrent that great to me,.,buts every persons personal choice.
so avoid carbornation..excercise more around that time..and now they make these heat pads that like are stckers and you can wear anywhere,,they last a a few hours too
It is normal for teens to be irregular. This is because your hormones are still settling down and the period is mainly controlled by hormones
about the leakage: change your pad every 3/4 hours.
teens are iregular usually because you havent gotten into your proper cycle yet. x
Well basically when you are a teen you probably aren't ovulating regularly which means that your body probably isn't releasing an egg on a regular schedule yet, and this can cause an irregular period.
I have much better luck using a tampon and panty liner combination to prevent leaks than using a pad, it's just a thought or try diffrent brands of pads, some work better than others.
As far as cramps go, often ibuprophen, or a midol can help, sipping sassafras tea can help them go away,and also moderate exercise as much as you might not want to can help get rid of cramps.
Good Luck!
you will be irregular because your hormones havnt quite settled down yet! if you are leaking change your pad more often. if you have cramps you can use stick on heat pads or take tablets.
always carry an extra pad with you just incase ur period comes early and that happens to me 2 like my periods like 1 week early or 2 weeks late its pretty damn confusing
Pamperin is a great medication for any cramps you might be experiencing. I would wear a tampon and a back-up pad just to be safe. : )
