Thread: Soooooooo Heavyyy!! Help!

Like a year ago I had my first period. & I had it irregualarly for a few months. & Then it stopped. For months. I was scared somthing was up, but my mom said it was normal. I started again a few days ago & it is so heavy. Three or fourtimes now I've gone through a tampon, pad and my jeans on to what i was sitting on. It astounds me I can go through a pad AND a tampon at the same time. It's driving me crazy. anybody know why?

I'm assuming you're young if you've just started your period in the last year.

When I first got my period, I, like you, had it, then it stopped for about 4 months. Then when it started again it was heavy, and I would have wicked bad cramps. I was told it's normal, because your body is just adjusting to all the hormones and such. However, some women do have heavy periods just because. Yours will probably taper off and not be soaking through your pants after a little while. If not, talk to your doctor. You can be put on birth control to combat menstrual issues like cramps and heavy flows. My mother is on the pill for killer cramps, and my aunt is on it for the cramping and the heavy flow. Every woman is different, but we all have periods and we all know how much they can suck haha.

Good luck!
