I have my period and filled a Super Plus tampon in an hour.?!


Question:

I have my period and filled a Super Plus tampon in an hour.?

im 14 and got my period 2 days ago so im on day 3. My period is very heavy, and i fill a regular pad in less than an hour to an hour. and yesterday and the day before filled a super plus tampon in 50 minutes to an hour. This doesnt seem normal to me. My period has never been heavy like this. my mom said im still regulating. But i dont feel like it is. is this normal?


Answers:

Did you just start getting your period? If so, it can definitely take a few months or even a year to regulate but usually it's your cycle that needs regulating, not the amount of the flow.

If you're having more than 1 day of heavy flow like this, it's worth a talk with your dr. I usually have 1 very heavy day like this (the 2nd day of my period for me) but the rest of it isn't heavy like that and the entire day isn't usually super heavy. I'll go through a super plus in about an hour or 2 and then maybe 2+ hours for the next and then supers every 3 hours or so for that day.

If you don't feel like it's right and it's just too much blood, def. schedule an appt with your dr. It's probably normal but it'd be best to know for sure. And make sure you're drinking enough water and taking a multivitamin with iron so your iron levels stay nice and high. Good luck and you should be proud that you're in tune with your body enough at such a young age to ask questions like this!
