Really annoying PERIOD?!?!


Question: Really annoying PERIOD?!?
Every time of month it's a living hell for me. My period is EXREMELY heavy and it leaks through the most absorbant pads in 2 hours tops. For some reason, whenever I put in a tampon it hurts really bad... not to get TOO graphic here but I put it in facing my back and up to a certain point I can't push it in anymore... it just stops going in even if I push harder. I don't know what to do because I hate the feeling of wearing a pad and feeling it come out. Oh and get this... when I sleep on my belly it somehow leaks out the back way. I'm going to go see my OBGYN for the first time and I was wondering since I'm 15 and not sexually active would they make me have an internal examination? I'm going to get the pill but not if it's internal. Also, does the pill make you gain weight? If so, how much?

Answers:

I have heavy periods, too, and hate using pads and find tampons really uncomfortable. I started using the Diva Cup about a year or so ago, and it is not painful, inconvenient and it holds 1 ounce of fluid. It is pretty much a silicon cup that you insert into your vagina, and it catches the blood instead of absorbing it like a tampon. You just remove the cup, empty it out in the sink or toilet, wash it then reinsert. It can be worn up to 12 hours and even if you are not on your period yet, but not sure if you are going to start or not.

I haven't been on BC before, but my sisters have and so is my best friend. None of them have gained weight, my best friend has actually lost weight while on it. I would advise you stay away from the needle form of birth control(depo, i think it's called). My older sister was on it and had nothing but problems and potential future infertility because of it.

I hope this helped and good luck at you appointment!

i'm a woman and i use the diva cup.
