Question: Period problems???? please help?

my mum isn't there for me all the time. she is always too busy working and she is reaching menopause so its practically impossible to talk to her. so ever since i got my period which was when i was 12 , its like my ovum has a mind of their own. my period are very irregular. at times its after 28 days, 40 days,3 months and once even four months. and the cramps are SOOO BADDDD!!! they hurt so bad that at times its so hard to even wake up from bed. plus, my flow is quite heavy and they last for about 8-9 days. Is this normal?

I also go through a lot of mood swings the moment it is the 30th day. i tend to get moody and angry. plus i bloat up like big , real big. my complexion goes way south. i really need advice. please help! what do i do?

Aww, well I'll be your mom now haha.

Well, it's very normal to bloat because you retain water when you get your period.
And you get cramps because your eggs are constricting.
And it's very normal for it to be irregular. It's because of stress,hormones etc.
When you're on your period, make sure to eat healthy, lots of protein, fish (omega 3) and even iron supplements for that matter. Tell your mother about the cramps, I know it hurts, but she could buy you some medication for that. And if you ever get really bad mood swings, try eating some dark chocolate, or anything sweet that makes your insulin level a little higher. And make sure to drink a lot of water to get rid of the water that makes you very bloated.
