Women are really horny during their periods actually. And you should wait 2 days after she has finished her period so about 5-7 days after it's started.

Actually a woman requires extra calories when she's menstruating. Most of her weight is gained from water retention and can gain 5 or more pounds during her period, but then loses it afterwards due to the fact that it is mostly water weight (not to mention constipation).

A period usually 3 to 5 days, but anywhere from 2 to 7 days is considered normal.

I agree with Heather, you should see your doctor.  I had a female friend who had "irregular" periods where she wouldn't have a period for months at a time, but when her period came it was just a normal 1 week thing.  The irregularity may be normal, but the 3 weeks of menstruation is what I would check about.

OK first off those are called blood clots which are completely normal during your period as your body collects the blood for 28 days.  It is just a normal thing for you body to do and there is nothing to be worried about.  If you are concerned then talk to your gynecologist.  He/She will be able to give you more information and reassure you that this is completely normal.

Menstruation is a woman's monthly bleeding. It is also called menses, menstrual period, or period. When a woman has her period, she is menstruating. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from the inside of the uterus (womb). It flows from the uterus through the small opening in the cervix, and passes out of the body through the vagina. Most menstrual periods last from three to five days.

Your period will not be consistent for about a year or two, so you shouldn't worry if you have a heavy period, but the definition of a heavy period would probably be changing a tampon every 30 minutes and it is a Super.  That is heavy, but heavy is really anything that you are not used to and you need to give it some time before you know that info.  You will know when to change your tampon when you wipe and see a little red on the TP, or at least this is how I did it, but don't leave the same tampon in for too long as you can get bacterial infections because the bacteria will adhere to the tampon if it is not soaking up blood.  You will figure it out with experience, and yes, you can sleep with a tampon in, just make sure that during the peak of you period, the 2nd or 3rd day when it is the heaviest, wear a tampon to fit your flow.  I know this all sounds weird, but really, it will come to you.  Oh, I am saying tampons because that it all I wear, but didn't start my period til I was 15 and I was a virgin  and assuming you are too, and it was uncomfortable to wear tampons cause I didn't know my body well enough to figure out how to insert them.  Also, if the hymen is not broken, the tampon might not insert as well or it will hurt.  You can tell when to change your pad and I would do this often as they can create a smell cause they are worn outside of the body.   sorry, It has been a long time since I have had to think about a first period, but I wish you the best.

How old are you? If you are not old enough to be in perio-menopause or menopause, then you should not have that long of a cycle. I think you are having a hormone imbalance and might want to go get a blood test to find out which one is lacking.\n\nThere is a broad range of "normal" among menstruating women. Unpredictable or long menstrual cycles are normal for teenagers and women in their 40s. If you are a teen, you can expect cycles to even out with time. If you are nearing the age of menopause, you can expect menstrual cycles to become longer and eventually to stop. If you are not a teen or older than 40 and your cycles are shorter or longer than 21 to 35 days, there is a chance that you have an underlying problem. \n\nAny big change in your menstrual pattern or amount of bleeding that affects your daily life requires a medical check by a health professional. This includes menstrual bleeding for three or more menstrual cycles that:\n\nLasts longer than 7 days.\nIs very heavy. If you are passing large clots or soaking a large pad per hour for 8 hours, your bleeding is considered heavy.\nOther symptoms you should have checked include:\n\nBleeding between menstrual periods. \nPelvic pain that is not linked to menstrual bleeding and lasts longer than a day.

If she's not pregnant and you are sure about that, then a visit to your doctors would be very advisable, has she had regular periods before this date? if not then it might be that she hasn't reached full womanhood yet and that her body is still getting things sorted. hope this helps.

It's perfectly normal - especially in your teenage years as the body is constantly changing.  Moods, stress, weight, and even eating habits all play a role in when you get your period.\n\nMost women do not have a 28 cycle - some have a 21 day cycle and others have a 32 day cycle.  Every woman is different.\n\nSo relax - don't worry about the timing of your period being off.  Find an average of how many days it takes to get it after the day you expect it on is.  You'll feel better knowing your own cycle.

I have found that this question of yours is NOT that unusual. When the menses begin...and each of them in your life is 'Different', there can be a starting of the menstruation cycle itself in a variety of ways. Much of this depends upon your basic health and regularity of your period, and if there is anything that is exacerbating stress, dietary factors, trauma.....these amongst many others can play a vital role in your period. The older blood is just that, and when the heavier flow comes out it brings with it the rest of this....often seen as brown and nearly grainy. Perhaps the thought of this in text is making you queasy and that is NOT my intention. It is NOT unusual for the body to start up....spot a day or two before hand and then begin the menstrual flow in its regular sequence or shall I say what is regular for you. You know your body better than anyone, and depending upon your age....other factors intervene. Age is one, again diet and exercise. Ask yourself if you're tired before this or perhaps amped ...we are ALL different. If there is a continuation of the more 'brown' or older blood, I recommed that you see a Physician....get a pelvic...for perhaps for whatever reason you might be a candidate for a D&C. Are your menses painful? If only periodically I have found that the comfort at home is warmth. Do not be afraid to soak...that is to bathe. This is hailed often, the menses as a curse, wherein it is nature's way of cleansing your uterus. It is important to at this point to say please keep your regular checkups with your gynocologist and allow your doctor to have a talk with any of your questions. I know that for myself what you have mentioned is in no way unusual. Please understand that you're NOT to keep from your physical regimen...unless you are tired..and please keep up your fluid intake.\nYour doctor will be the one to know and it might serve you well to keep a diary or small calendar in your drawer or medicine cabinet as to the regularity or the sometimes "I didnt quite expect this.." questions...all of this is important. As for a heavier flow, there is still no certainty that there will be a stopping or forestallig of the older blood. Please remember that it's your body and your own inherent body clock or circaddian rhythms dictate a lot of what is to happen to you during this time. I am not your doctor...this is merely my take from past experience and knowing many women who experience the very same thing. for now, I wouldn't worry, were I you, just keep track of this and see if there is any change in tha amount of days and flow. In conclusion, it sounds as though you are healthy, and don't rule "IN" a problem unless advised by your physician. Lastly if pain of any sort accompnies this, please inform your doctor for they can and very often WILL do a pelvic during your period. Should any problem persist, they will ( your doctor's office) refer you to a specialist if there is due cause. In and of all of this there may be the occasional fibroid or cyst. This is whyit is vital that you make and keep your appointments with your doctor.

Actually, your period is precipitated by a steep DROP in hormone levels that induces shedding of the lining of the uterus. Hormone levels peak just around ovulation (i.e., mid-cycle), and only remain high if fertilization occurs (if there is a pregnancy). In a normal cycle, where there is no fertilization, hormone levels drop steeply and this causes menstruation.

No. Periods have their natural course. They come and then they go. Don't worry, you enver know how long it will last because periods last 3 to 5 days depending on if your stressed out or really healthy, or just recently gained weight.
