Question 2

how to know if your period is going to come ?

Accepted Answer

There Will Be Blood: This is how one person described it to me (disclaimer: each person is vastly different): Your pelvis will feel like it's being filled by half of Lake Meade and your uterus will go into a variation of St. Vitus Dance. Your legs will begin to shlog, your head pulse and you will succumb to fits of anger or rage at the slightest provocation (e.g. an uncapped catsup bottle). Then the blood will flow...

Question 3

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Menstrual flow for most women not on birth control pills averages 4-7 days of flow. More than 7 days is called menorrhagia. If this is a new finding and persistent, an evaluation may be in order to rule out more serious causes of heavier menstrual flow, especially as women age past 35 years.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: There can be variations in a woman's menstrual cycle that are considered normal and not to alarm about.  If these changes become consistent and constant, then evaluation with a provider can shed some light on a problem.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Sure!: It is fine to go canoeing or even swimming despite your period. Tampons keep flow from making a mess, but be sure to change it every 4-6 hrs.  However, in detroit in december, canoeing is the last place you should be!  there's certainly  no restrictions on sitting in front of a fireplace during your period!
