A member asked:

What to do if i have had my first period now, but how do you prepare for one?

Clarification: On healthtap it lists your age as 46. Are you saying you think you're having your first period at age 46? I'm thinking that's not the case, because if it were, surely you'd be evaluated by a physician before now as to why you haven't had a period for the last 20 years. Maybe consider rephrasing your question? Best of luck, .
