I would Love if I could get some period tips from more experienced people !?

1. Always be prepared. Never leave home without a tampon or pad in your purse or bag. Just because you think you know when your period should start doesn't mean you won't start early some months. (Using a pad or a tampon is a personal choice. That is something you need to try and decide for yourself. Personally, I liked pads better than tampons. But I know many women prefer tampons.)

2. Periods can change during your lifetime. They can become lighter or heavier. The number of days between cycles can change. It doesn't mean anything is wrong, it just means your hormones are changing as you age. If you have bleeding between periods or excessive bleeding or excessive pain, then those things would indicate a possible problem.

3. When trying to predict the next period, remember that you should be counting the days between each period and not looking at the date on the calendar. The average woman has 28 days between the start of one period to the start of the next period. Track your period for three to six months and count the days between the starting date of each period to the starting date of the next period. That is your cycle length. It can be as short as 21 days or as long as 45 days and still be "normal" as long as it follows a pattern. If you are still a teenager, you may not have a pattern yet. It can take two to four years to develop a set pattern.

4. Ovulation typically happens about 14 days BEFORE the next period is due. If you don't ovulate for some reason, then you won't have a period. And, sperm can live in the uterus for up to five days. (so if you aren't ready for a baby, use protection all the time because ovulation can be late and sperm is persistant.)

5. If you stain your undercloths, rinse them in cold water with a little laundry soap ASAP. It will usually remove most of the stains. If possible, keep a set of comfy undies just for use during your period that way you aren't staining all your undies.

I really can't give very much advice about dealing with PMS or cramps and pain because I was one of the lucky women who never had those issues. My daughter seems to get decent relief using ibuprofen. My other daughter is like me and doesn't have PMS issues. BTW, I am 51 and have two daughters, so I guess that should count as some experience. If you want to know something else, then ask.

1. choose what you are most comfortable with either it being a pad or tampon, in this case you aren't that experienced so I would choose a pad. make sure you change it every 3 hours depending on the flow the hours might decrease. If u are in pain take a hot shower or use a heating pad

Thx Thea !!
