im 26 years old. i have been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. i am now on my 4th period since may 16th. i had a period that lasted may 16 - 22, another one that started on may 30th lasting through june 4th, then another period june 16th - june 30th, and now on july 5th i am on a FOURTH period. these periods are like 8 days apart! its so weird! does my body have no concept of time? i've never had normal regular periods anyways, but also NEVER experienced this EITHER! i seriously hope someone out there can help me!
Answer:
I don't have PCOS but I was misdiagnosed with it once. I had a REALLY longggggg period. It was 23 days. Inbetween it would stop for a day and spot for a few more and then more blood. The way you describe the break in time of your cycles reminded me of that.
PCOS runs in my family. I didn't even know such a thing was "genetic". My cousin had surgery for hers recently. They "kill" the part of your ovary that's making too much hormones. The procedure's been working ok for her thus far.
You're 26, I don't know if you want to have kids or anything like that but get it treated ASAP. My cousin is 25 and her OB told her is she had waited a while to treated it, she may have been infertile. But time will tell.
Good Luck! Speak to your OB about your options for treatment!
Um, Just don't worry. Maybe your just having one Long period!
shouldn't you be speaking to your doctor or nurse about this?
i dont know the meaning of the diagnosis but, my period used to be off the wall like that. at the time i was 15 so my mothere had me put on the birth control pill. It really regulated my cycles and i havent had that problem since.
You need to let your GYN know this is happening. Allowing it to continue will cause anemia due to the lose of iron. There are ways it can be regulated. Discuss your ooptions with your doctor.
Honey, join the THOUSANDS of us who have PCOS.
Your hormones are out of whack. That is what causes the PCOS. Getting on birth control pills helps regulate your cycle. There is also surgery called ovarian drilling that might help. I had it done June 22. Basically, they drill holes into your ovaries and kill the parts that produce the excess hormones with an electric current.
Get it treated now. I wish I would've been treated earlier...we're struggling with infertility issues.
You should discuss your problems with your ob/gyn and/or endocrinologist.
Definitely something wrong with u see a doctor.
you know what i had this in my younger days .I went to all kinds of specialist till my ex SIL carried me to one and I really didn't want to go but said oh what the H.Well we got there he sat me down and I told him that I had a period more than average I was bleeding like 20 some days out of the month.He took one look at me and said are you on Birth control and I said yes they keep changing it to this and that trying to get it right .Well he said stop taking it and your period will go back to normal and that some women aren't meant to take birth control pills .I stopped and sure enough the heavy periods stopped as well.So I don't know if your on BC or not but if you are take my advice some of us women weren't meant to take them so stop and go to natural family planning I did that for 9 years and it worked like a charm.

What if your period is one day late?
Answer:
One day is nothing to be worried about. There are lots of reason a woman can miss a period, but don't worry about that yet. (Are/were you stressed? Have you started a new exercise plan or lost weight? Are you sick?)
You were probably stressed or your cycle is changing, one day is nothing to worry about.
don't worry about it.
well, its okay. that just shows that your period is not regular. its called, irregular period. (: just like mine. mine always miss by 1 week or 2. well, im fine with it. when my period doesnt come, i will drink alot of milk. (: it will then come. so, dont worry okay ? but. if it doesnt come for a few months then, go see a doctor alrite..? takecare`
Don't panic! It's just one day, give it some time because stress affects that also. Good luck!
it's NORMAL. people don't always have regular cycles. wait a few days %26 try not to stress out - stress can cause them to be even later.
What if you miss your birth control for 2 hrs one day?
i am supposed to take mine at 4...one day i forgot and took mine at 6!
Answer:
I can see you are fairly responsible about this! Congratulations and don't worry. As far as I remember, it's way worse if you take it 4-6 hours later. Don't worry, there'll be no problem, but make sure you won't forget about it again in the future.
no big deal, just don't make a habit of it or your periods could become irregular.
You cant be serious...
I think you will be fine.

What if you bleed during fingering?
why does it bleed and does it affect you of having kids?
Answer:
it may bleed some if u got scratched or tore ur hymen, no it has nothing to do with having kids and will not prevent u from having any
maybe your on your period?
Being penetrated by a finger will not effect your ability to have children.
What's happening is that you're probably tearing the skin of your vagina a little (the nails might be too long or you aren't well enough lubricated).
If it continues to happen however, I would recommend seeing a doctor to make sure everything is ok.
You could bleed because of a broken hymen, because of fingernail scratches, because of bumping your cervix, or because of a period starting. It won't affect your ability to have children at all. :)
if you bleed after that then somebody is being to rough
he probably cut you with his nail..or was too rough! no i don't think it will affect you from having kids but it could lead to an infection and turn serous
It could mean that your hymen has been broken.Or the fingernail was not properly trimmed and filed.That will not affect you having kids.

What if this happens?
When I start feeling excited from ( doing you know what) pee comes out. It's not yellow. It's clear. But I strongly believe it's pee because it comes out the uretha. Even if I use the bathroom before I touch, it still comes out. Is this normal? Can you come only through intercourse? Do you come everytime you have an orgasm?
Answer:
If it's not normal most girls have some serious problems... lol.
No man don't worry about it. Its your natural juices flowing. A sign that your able to produce lubricant for if and when you do have intercourse. Can happen any time you feel a bit 'over excited' (commonly said: horny).
You don't necessarily come every time you have an orgasm. Well not if your a girl anyway. Men come every time, even if it's just a little drop.
You may me able to ejaculate. Female ejaculation is where you produce this clear fluid when you're orgasming. And believe me, it kind of feels like you're peeing but it's not coming out of your urethra. It's just that the spot is so close to your bladder, it feels similar. Do some research on female ejaculation to see if maybe that's it.

What if im 2 hrs late on my birth control pill is it bad?
Answer:
2 hours is nothing, don't worry.
no...just take the pill as soon as you remember.
2 hours is fine. Dont worry, even if you are on a mini pill (given to women who are breastfeeding) it will still be ok.
Hey,
relax dont use control pill shh get grip , it is not like u died .
well do everything calmly and easily so u wont cuz stree and go nuts like me
Although I don't suggest you try...you can be up to 12 hours late and still be in the clear, so don't worry, 2 hours is fine. After 12 hours, it becomes a little less clear!
no just take it now but just on case make him wear a condom
What if I used my tampon for over 8 hours?
ok this is regarding my cousin, yes she lives with me
last night she used her tampon and went to sleep, but forgot to set her alarm. This morning, she woke up late, and told me that she had over worn her tampon for 5 hours! I was shocked, yes 5 hours.
so she wore her tampon for 13 hours (she didn't sleep for that long tho, it's only after the shower)
And now she's shoked, and scared. She doesn't want to tell her parents, because she's afraid.
And now she's got ME scared, so does anyone know if anything bad's gonna happen? like TSS? or symptoms?
Please help, because I have absolutely no idea.
Answer:
About the 'worst' that could happen from wearing a tampon too long is 'heavy leakage' ... a tampon should be changed every four or five hours for that reason ... and most women who wear them should take them out and wear a 'pad' to bed, because it is 'dangerous' to have a tampon in you for 24 hours up to 6 days in a row. The 'symptoms' of TSS are fever, flushing (red skin) and what looks like 'broken blood vessels' in the palms of the hands at the 'fattest part' ... but I'm going to say that the chances are VERY SLIM that your cousin is in any real 'danger' ... and also that she needs to be 'more aware' so she doesn't 'overwear' her tampons any more. The 'first time' may be okay, but if she gets into the 'bad habit' her chances of getting TSS will go UP dramatically.
she would know if she had TSS .. she would have a horrible fever, be puking, horrible pains etc.. if any of that happens then you should be worried, but until then dont' sweat it
Hahahah sucks being a female
Tell her to remove it and toss it against the wall in the bathroom. If it bounces off she should go see a doctor, if it sticks she'll be just fine.
The tampon box insert should have information about the symptoms of TSS.
Yes, it's not good to wear them for so long, but one time hopefully won't hurt. Just don't make it a habit.
This may not be much help.but I have done the same thing quite a few times for alot longer than 8 hours. I would just keep an eye out for any symptoms. But most likely she will be fine :)
yes you can get tss by wearing a tampon for too long, but to tell you the truth, it is very rare, and probably won't happen. if she starts to get flu like symptoms then she should talk to her doctor or parents, and tell them about the tampon and that she may have gotten it but more than likely she will be just fine.
aslong as she isn't having any of the TSS symptoms she should be fine (feeling sick, dizzyness, headaches etc)
maybe she should lay off tampons for a while though and its probably better to use towels instead of tampons at night!
hope everything is ok :)
First of all, she needs to take it out if she hasn't already.
Next, she needs to monitor herself. TSS is more possible now, but it doesn't mean that it will happen.
Just keep watching her temperature and how she's feeling ,and if she starts getting about her normal temperature, get her to the ER.
If you forget changing your tampons regularly like for more than 8 hours, then that's how you will get TSS. But, as for right now, you should not worry about it but if you feel unusual like having fever or body aches then maybe its about time to see your doctor for immediate treatment.
OK, a rule of thumb is every time you pee, change the tampon and again before you shower. I never wore tampons to bed, would use a pad . Many years ago there were tampons called Rely, that caused TSS, I wound up having endo problems and had a hyster at aged 28, partially due to using those tampons. I am not saying that a tampon will cause TSS or other problems, but they need to be used properly to prevent infection. If it is a very light day near the end, if you are not going to the beach, use a panty liner.
It should be fine...it probably happens to everyone now and then. Just keep an eye out for fever or other abnormal symptoms. It's not very likely that it will hurt anything.
I've slept for like 12 or 14 hours and not changed mine. It;s not a good idea, but TSS is rare. She would have already started getting symptoms, so I'd say she's fine. Just so you know the symptoms are:
sudden fever of 103 or higher, fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness, diarrhea, rash that looks like sunburn.
I'm sure she's ok. There's always the option of pads for at night. Good Luck!
SWEETHEART...you need to get to a female "friend" as soon as you can do it safely. Being a dad, husband and medic, my understanding of "them", says, that that isn't quite long enough or enough times to be a danger..as long as proper hygiene is followed.GOOD LUCK....LATER...
I suggest that you take it out as soon as possible to avoid any chance of TSS(Toxic Shock Syndrome). I read about this girl who left hers in for eleven hours and she contracted TSS. I even saw this picture of this girls hands peeling really bad because of TSS. To be honest, I've left mine in for almost twenty-four hours once and I got lucky enough not to contract TSS. It's a rare but, very serious disease. For more information on TSS, I suggest that you check out the website listed below.
Actually, TSS could take effect weather or not u wear ur tapon more than 2-4 hours. BUT, i really dont think there is anything to worry abou, just monitor her appetite and if she gets sick, not from the thought of wearing a tampon for 13 hrs , but sick in general. If she starts to throw-up, diarreah or anything like that, have her go see a doctor. BUT like i said, i really dont think there is anything to wory about. Just make sure next time she keeps her tampon in for a healthy amount of time so you can avoid symptoms of any kind.
honestly, ive left my tampon is for 20 hours before.
nothing happened to me.
Honey, she will be fine. If she get's sick then it's time to worry, but I have been in situations where I have worn it for A LONG time and never ever had any problems. It really isn't a big deal. Just read about TSS and learn the symptoms.
