How to make you period stop faster?
Hi,I'm 12 years old and I got my period today.I get mine every month so it wasn't really a shocker because I knew it was eventually going to come.And I was wonder if there was anyway I could make it stop faster because mine usually last about 6 or 7 days which is about a week.I hate my period because I don't like walking around school worrying if I have blood stains on my pants.Also I have gym so I don't wanna be running around and stuff being all nasty and what not.My mom says that if I drink a lot of water or tea it might go away so I deiced to get a big jug of water and leave it in my room and drink it while I'm on the computer.I don't really know what to do I just want it to stop in 1 or 2 days like some of my friends do because I hate putting up with my period.By the way people say that if your really active your period will go away in about 1 or 2 days but my friend I'm with her 24/7 and all we do is walk around go out and be crazy weirdos.So if I could find out some ways to make it stop quicker in about maybe 1 or 2 or even 3 day I would be happy.

Well, you want to be healthy right? Your period is a natural occurrence that takes place in your body. You don't really want to be messing with it too much.
I have heard, however, that sometimes an orgasm actually stops the period process. I don't totally understand it, but that's something I've heard. BUT, at 12 years old, you shouldn't be having orgasms!

Sorry to say but you have to let it run it's course. Some people have different "types" of periods such as they are either very light or last only 2 days. If yours last around 6 - 7 days consider yourself average. That is generally how long periods last.
If you want to stop your periods (which is unhealthy) you can try "home" remedies such as eating sour mangos or either gaining/losing a lot of weight in a short period of time (which i know isn't healthy at all). So i guess it just rules out to be mangos lol
Well good luck hope this helps :D

You're going to have to learn to deal with it because you really can't control your cycle. Some girls are going to have longer periods than others (mine last 9 days...honestly NINE days) and that's just the way your body is. Ask your mom how long her period usually lasts, and if she says something close to your number then you're okay, if not, tell her how long it lasts and that you're afraid you might have a problem. Caffeine and tylenol or advil or something like that helps and exercise (always helps everything being on the rag) and staying away from junk food help your moods, so does chocolate. Water is always good and so does eating lots of dairy and protein too.

I understand your problem. But there's not really anything you can do to make it shorter at 12 years old. Sometimes they last 6-7 days, but they can also get shorter as time goes on.
As for the worrying about getting blood stains on your pants,
i would suggest keeping a calender in your room and marking down when you get your period and when it stops.
that will help you to know the next month around what times your expected to start.
good luck.

Unfortunatly you can't change that. The length of your period just depends on the person. It's something that you will have to get used to. But they say that periods will be that long for about a year or two but later on in life they will get shorter. Mine are usually 4 to 5 days now.

You can't make your period stop faster. If you take birth control, that will cause your period to skip a few months.

You can't I'm afraid, you just have to let nature take it's course. Find ways to make yourself feel comfortable.
When I was still at school I used to wear tights and close fitting hotpants under my skirt just to be sure no leakage occured, which of course it never did...
My periods didn't regulate until I was older and went on the pill which I DO NOT recommend going on if you're 12.
Maybe try tampons when you are older as they won't leak.
Don't worry, it will settle as you get older and you'll get used to it :)

Yyou should talk to your gynecologist. Mine is 4-5 days and very painful, but since I started taking birth control pill ( for acne and period) it's been short 2 days without any cramping.
