I usually experience heavy heavy periods and bad cramps. Lately they’ve been lasting the full 7 days and its awfully heavy and a hastle. I have not changed my diet really except for adding more vitamins to my diet. Please help me understand why its not as bad this month? I’m 26. Haven’t had a pap smear in 2 years.

I’m 17 and I’ve never been. I’ve had my period for about 6 years now, and I’ve never had any problems beyond cramps (usually just the first day of my period). I’m not sexually active (still a virgin). Do I need to see a gynecologist?

i started to have a brown discharge last week on the day i was supposed to start my period. then i noticed i could smell the scent i usually smell when i am about to start my period. i am now a week late and i have been experiencing cramps, nausea, backache, and my abs feel tense. i have had a normal period for the past two years, could i be pregnant, or am i just experiencing new pms symptoms?

I’m taking birth control for several reasons. To regulate my period, reduce cramps, and control birth. I’ll be on the pill for two weeks tomorrow. Is it in effect yet? It’s a low hormone pill, by the way. Aren’t you supposed to take the iron or sugar pills during your period? What if I get to the iron pills and I don’t have my period? Do I take them or continue with the birth control?

they’ve been closer together, like every twenty four, twenty two days, for three years now, and lighter. now i’d like to know when do i start skipping or when they get farther apart, longer cycles. i can’t wait! i get cramps several days before and then the first day hurts and the second day hurts too, although much less. so, everyone who’s been through it, when did your cycles get longer or you started skipping? because i’m in pain for a third of the time… yeah, i know every woman is a bit different but still…

I am a almost 30yrs female and tired of not having any sex drive. I feel horrible in relationships because I know I should want to have sex more, I just rarely seem to want to. I probably am one of the only females that would rather perform oral sex 90% of the time and have intercourse every once in a while.

I don’t want to be like this anymore and have horrible insurance and very little time to be running around investigating this problem…so if anyone has any insight please provide it.

I do notice that I tend to have much more of a sex drive in the morning, and at night I am just not interested. I am not ruling out the idea that it is emotional however I do believe I have hormone imbalances. (I have horrible acne, extremely light menstrual cycles, don’t sleep well, low body temp. and lots of other signs of such.) When I can get into it, I don’t orgasm and half way through am waiting for it to be over. I also recently noticed bleeding and have cramps a day or 2 afterwards

Just curious:)

My first pregnancy wasn’t too bad. My biggest complaint is that I was tired all day, every day. I gained a total of 35 lbs. I didn’t have any complications.. I had the epidural & I had a vaginal delivery.

I am now 6 months pregnant.. I look like I did when I was 8 months pregnant w/ my son.. I am gaining weight much quicker. I am waddling like a duck already. I have cramps, aches & back pains. I have 3 months to go.. hopefully the delivery goes smoothly.

I havent had my period since july, but then i started it today, and i have horrible cramps, but it is really thin blood and alot of it,when its usually thicker. Could this be spotting, or my period?

my period only comes every other month, and they say that your periods rotate from ovary to ovary each month, so could one of my ovaries not be okay? like a cyst or tumor something? i also get major cramps during my period, and minor ones sometimes when im not on it, and discharge.
im only fifteen and i know that uterus problems are rare around my age, but they do happen. could they be happening to me?

I am 16 years old and each month I get really bad cramps to the point where I am doubled over in pain and throwing up. I want to go see the gynecologist but I am under 18.
Do I have to take my mom with me?
What questions will they ask?
I had sex with my boyfriend 2 years ago (now my ex) and we were both virgins (It only happened once), should I tell the doctor about that?

I’m 13 and I’ve had a bladder infection before but I don’t remember it. I think I have one again, I have been having to pee a lot lately and it burns when I do, and it smells really bad and is almost always a white color. I’ve been having cramps and headaches too, if that matters. My lower abdominal hurts, and whenever I look in my vagina it’s red and it itches. Can anyone tell me if I have one or not?

I am a little worried because I read in a magazine that if you have severe cramps and heavy periods, it could be the sign of a very serious condition. How do I know if my period is \heavy?

I had some light brown spotting that lasted a couple hours the other day. I had my period about 3 weeks ago. Im not on birth control and I have had unprotected sex. I also had cramps in my back with the spotting. I also threw up the same day I spotted. While I do not think the two are related, it raises some concern with me. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I always leak through. Can’t get stains out. Really bad cramps. Which tampons do I use when I start using them?
