How can i get a lighter period?!


Question: How can i get a lighter period!?
im 12 and i started just back in september of last year!.
and im Super Heavy!. I wear the green pad [always] it's the heavy period size!.
And it's just so misriable!.
My sister [twins] started two weeks after i did and she does like 2 small [panty liners] a day!. [at the most]
And is there any way i can keep my flow lighter!?
I am in 6th grade and i have 80 minute classes and i worry about if i cant go to the bathroom even if i tell my teacher why and i bleed through [ which has happened about three times this year already]
Any tips!?

Answers:
since you're 12, birth control prolly wouldn't be the best thing for you, which is pretty much the only thing that will make your period lighter!. i am in the same grade, same class times, and when i have my period, and i know i'm going to be sitting down for a long time, i put on two super long always night pads, because those have the most protection for me, because i'm really heavy!. also, you could always try tampons, and change them inbetween classes!. but if you have female teachers, and you notice you're starting to bleed through, ask them for a bathroom pass because it's a 'feminine issue', go to your locker(you should always have a supply of pads/tampons with you) and just change!. i do it all the time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No way to make it lighter!. Birth control may help, but is not guaranteed to help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't think theres any way!. the only other way is to sit in a bathtub for 35 minutes before you go to school, but during school, there's realy no way lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

birth control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can lighten up in the future, since it can be heavy in your first year or so!.

When I first started, it was soooo much more heavier then what I do now, and 2 days longer!.

Just deal with it and your teachers will understand if your on your period!. Your cycle will get more lighter(hopefully) and normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink lots of water!. You will still have to go to the bathroom, but at least your urine will be clear, as it should be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Birth control!. Tell your mom!. She'll be able to help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can't really change that!. You may be too young, but the pill does give you lighter and shorter periods, maybe talk to your mom!. I know quite a few young girls who went on the pill for this very reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

exercise and a balanced diet can help your body have regular, normal-flow periods!. scientifically proven!. birth control is dangerous if only used to regulate or lighten period flow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can try going to the doctor and having the give you medicine, or, like me, take 2 advils everyday for about 3 days before your period is about to start!. It realy works!.

My doctor gave me the choice of a prescription or advil and i chose advil!. She said it works the same, but don't take more then that without asking your doctor first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
