my period started today and i have my prom on friday. there is no way that it will be gone by then because my periods are normaly 2 weeks long. but the reason im worried is because they are heavy and my last one was super heavy and lasted for 3 weeks. what should i do so that it doesn't ruin my night.
hiya, have you ever been to see a doctor about your periods lasting 2 weeks time? maybe you should and see someone they may be able to give you something to help reduce the amount of bleeding,
hope you have a fab prom and hope it doesnt spoil it
How old are you?.. Don't worry, put on a sanity towel or an night protector, nobody knows you are in your days .
im 16 and my period started about a year and a half ago
I used to get really paranoid about people knowing but when I started using tampons I would never gO back, they make you feel alot clearer and you don't really know so you won't have to worry about leaking x let us know how your prom goes
thanks for the advice i use tampons but leak sometimes as they can be really watery. is this normal and how would i stop this from happening on friday.
I came on Sunday and my prom is also friday:( my dress is quite big and when i have to change my pad it's gonna be a nightmare, i'd advise using the night pads, even use two if you have to, straight before you get your prom dress on and they should last you a couple of hours.
I also have heavy bleeds, and when i was 14 i got diagnosed with menorrhagia, which is what i think you may have.
I'd go back to the doctors, and they may put you on the pill (if they haven't already) to keep them regular and light, and they should start lasting about 6 days.
If all else fails, have a blood test, because there may be other reasons.
Hope this helps, and i hope you have a good time at prom:)
Tampons usually hurts hymen, Are you a virgin?
yes i am a virgin and i can use tampons the only problem with them is that when my period is watery they sometime leak(and it can be a lot)
Thanks to answer me, I think that the use of tampons breaks the hymen, maybe lost your virginity they are only recommended for non virgins women. It is preferable not to use them until being a mature woman.
Also that you told me, with an abundant menstruation it is watered.

Use tampons and a regular pad. I have this issues with really heavy periods. But I agree with some of the other def get it checked out.
Hope you have a great time!

hey! im 14 and dont use tampons but i hope i can help! if you put a tampon in and then also use a pad then that will make sure it wont show of you leak :D also i want to try and use a tampon but im afraid its going to hurt because i am a virgin?! how did you first do it? :)
No, it won't hurt to use a yampon while your still a virgin. It can be very uncomforyable if you put one in wrong. So, this may be a conversation you should have with your mother, or mother figure. Also, when using tampons you have to be careful not to leave them in too long.
