Girls only - heavy period ?

ok .
im on my period .
I skipped the past two months .
and now it is REALLY heavy .
like a put in a tampon . . .
lets see 40 minutes ago .
and I just changed it like 5 minutes ago cause it was full .

last night ;
I wore a nighttime pad (extra long...

too)
and I went through my underwear , my pj bottoms and my sheets .
its on my matress to .

is there anything I can do to make it lighter .

I need help fast !

omg this happened to me a long time ago. Just let the period pass but seriously - just lie down and dont move unless you have to change your pad. From now on take 2 iron pills with orange juice a day (2 in the morning or night). If you start to feel a little dizzy call the ambulance immediately. Just be careful. Do not exercise at all it will make it worse. Just rest rest rest.

I would put two pads on and see what happens... that is just my opinoin

addie_13 -I did that last night

thanks thought

thanks babylove138

im 13 .
can I take birth control to help ?

oh and babylove138 im allergic to oranges . . .

oh , and the worst thing is .
when I lay or sit down .
I can feel it pouring out of me .

ummm is there any chance you could have been pregnant? You MIGHT be having a miscarriage especially if you can feel the blood pouring out of you! If there is a chance that you could of been pregnant. YOU NEED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ASAP. there is a chance you can bleed out.

if there is NOT a chance you can be pregnant then a heavy period after 2 months of not having one is normal!

You still should consult a doctor to make sure you are not losing to much blood because that won't be good!

take care ...

GO TO THE DOCTOR!

my best advice is to see your doctor and consult to him/her about your problem, cause I've had that problem once, before, and my family doctor prescribed me these pills!! and within a day in a half my period got lighter!

Birth control should regulate your periods, and most pills make them lighter as well. When we ovulate, our ovaries take turns, right side one month, left side the next. The only thing I can think of is maybe both are producing an egg at the same time? It wouldn't be a bad idea to make an appointment with a gyno. Had I known that $8/ month for the pill would make my life so much easier, I would have started taking it at age 12.

me, id go to the doctors, but then again, I get a little freaked out when somethin that im not sure bout happens...you can try what they said with birth control or you could be on the safe side and see a doctor

an extremely heavy period could be a sign of something wrong
on the other hand
if you just started having periods recently then it might be just that your irregular right now
id say either wait and see if it changes with your next few periods or go see a doctor
good luck!

that isnt normal, you could very quickly become anemic and have to be given blood (I'm not being dramatic here, same thing happened to me end of last year and my doctor wanted to check me into the hospital). It was messed up hormones. You need to see a doctor so they can put you on something to get it to stop bleeding now. I know it sucks, but until you go in, just change your pad every hour on the hour (yeah you wont get much sleep) and if you're wearing a tampon, wear a pad too just incase it leaks. Drink plenty of fluids, and if you have iron pills at home, I'd get a head start on them.

some people just have heavy periods. birth control like depo-pervera CAN help. I have really heavy periods too and I know exactly when you mean. go to your gynecologist and ask what he/she thinks. good luck!

im 13 .
and im not freakin pregnant .
im a VIRGIN ok ?
sorry .
but I started my period a year ago .
almost two . . .
so .
my period was regular till I skipped the past two months . . .
so .
but three months ago , it was REALLY light .
like a regular size tampon wasnt even half full after 12 hours .

oh , and I have always been able to feel it pouring out of me .
so stop freaking .

Use a bandaid?

Wow. you're not even suppose to wear a tampon for more than 12 hours...I hope you know that. You could get easily infected.

I know .
I talked to my gyno about it ,
and she said for me it doesnt matter because im so young .
I was like that doesnt make sense ?
but oh weelll shes a doctor .

did you try a tampon and a pad? also take midol, that stuff works like a charm. and if nothing works, call a doctor and just ask her if that's normal or not. cause you might be losing too much blood.

I do that all the time .
heavy period run in the family .
but its just never been this heavy ,
I guess this is my heavy period lol .

hey cheer2012, how are you doing? You're right, taking birth control will definitely regulate your period and you will get them every month and they will be lighter. I use Yasmin and it is really good. I have been using it for about 8 months without any problems. It helped my periods get lighter and my menstrual cramps are diminished a lot.
