Kai C	What are cycles? Cycles are when it happens technically. How long should you have your period? It usually takes a few days, then it will slow down as the months go by. When you stop having your period when does it come back? It comes back around the same day every month, so I would put a pad on about 3 days before that date. Should you shower? Of course! Does anything you eat affect it? No. P.S You may have a few bad stomach aches, so...take a Motrin before you go to school or something :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kelsey	1. I'm really bad at explaining things so I'll let someone else explain that one(I know you'll get an answer) 2. anywhere from 3-8 days(depending on your own body and your genes) 3.Yes, generally you get your period every 28 days(from the day it starts), but it will probably be a little irregular for you. 4.Yes of course shower! And clean down there too. The water actually stops it for a short period of time(usually) so you don't have to worry about leaking everywhere in the shower. Just have a pair of undies and a pad or tampon ready to use when you get out 5. Once again I'll let someone answer that. I don't think anything could effect it drastically if you have a normal diet though Oh and remember that stress can also effect it, so if you end up being a week late it could be because of stress or like I said before, the irregularity at the beginning Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cera	well ur period sucks and it depends like some people theres stop inn a week but it dont last that long so dont worry and the reason we call it daily monthly is cuz it only comes once a month Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kris L	Congratulations! Welcome to womanhood! A 'cycle' is how much time there is between the start of your period to the start of your next period. These are variable, and are usually 28-32 days. When you are having regular periods (this is just your first, and you may be immediately regular, or you may be very irregular for several months before 'leveling out') the period can last anywhere from 2.5-8 days. Yes, you should shower when you have a period ... but if you prefer taking baths go ahead and take them. The period actually 'stops' when you are submerged in water down there, but there may be some 'dripping' into the tub so you may want to at least 'shower off' if you get blood on yourself. You should watch your salt intake and drink plenty of water from 1.5 weeks BEFORE your period until after it's done ... 'plenty' is AT LEAST 8 eight ounce cups of water. This will help your body 'shed' those dead blood cells and get ready to start another round of 'getting ready for a baby' ... you are FAR TOO YOUNG to be wanting to get pregnant, yet, but the body needs to do this now, so that when you do want to have a baby, it's ALWAYS READY. Now, ask your mom to take the two of you out for a sundae ... you deserve it, and so does she. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Frosty	Cycle is the time it takes from one period to the next. For example if you started Jan 3 and then next time it was Feb 3. From Jan 3 to Feb 3 is one cycle. It will not always start on the same day, this is just an example. Your period can last anywhere from 3 days to 10 days and still be normal. Mine were always 10 days long. Once you are regular it will come around about every 28 days. When you first start it may be any amount of time in between. When I first started it was sometimes two months in between times and sometimes it was only about 3 weeks. Once you get regulated, it will be once a month. Yes, you can shower. If you use a tampon, insert a fresh one after showering. It can cause infection if bacteria gets introduced through the water. (But that is very rare.) Nothing you eat will affect it. You can do anything during your period that you did before it. It's not so good to go swimming though. Even with a tampon, it can leak in the pool and not be a very good deal for you or for others. If you want to ask me questions privately, go to my e-mail. I'll be happy to answer any questions if you are uncomfortable going to your Mom. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sammie Jo	Wow sweety, maybe you should talk to a school nurse or someone, most girls know this stuff. Let me try to help though. Your cycle is mainly about your period, how many days a month you are on, and how many off. That is the easiest way to explain it. Your period can last 2 days to 8 or more, but 5 is the normal. If this is your first period, it may not come back for a few months, it may come back next month. It is different for everyone, especially when you are just starting. You should get your period once every month though. You can shower, bath, swim, anything you want really. Don't think of this as a hinderence, it is a normal part of growing up. If you want to take a bath or swim, I would suggest a tampon, especially if you are bleeding very heavy. Baths aren't a real problem unless you want to sit in the water. I have never had anything I ate effect my period. You may crave chocolate, or other foods that comfort you, because you may be more emotional. I hope this helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amanda G	ok, how old are, cuz it kinda depends on ur age & how late or early you start... wen mine came on 4 tha 1st tyme it stayed on 4 a week. but now it stays on for 4 days @ tha most... then again ery1 isz different. yes, wat you eat can effect tha flow of ur period. it is supposed 2 *** on within a 28 day period of time... but i hav friends that get theres every otha month... lucky them.! lol, but you def should shower becuz it isz 1 of the WORST body odors... u usually can smell if a person's period is on.! a cycle jus means your period cums in a cycle... (every 28 days) but gud luck with everything.! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vball♥chika	you should have your period 2-7 days. it really depends on the person. yes, it comes back every 25-25 days ((28 is average)) no, eating doesnt affect it at all, you might hear some old wives tales but trust me, it doesnt. and yes you shower, just like you would on every other day. hope this helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sunshine <3	Cycles are when you have your period. You will have a cycle every month. The same day every month. The first time ever having your period, it could last up to 7 days. Then after that, it will be around 5, maybe 6. It just all depends but it is all normal so don't worry about anything. Yes, you should deffinately shower. You will get odor down there and it does smell pretty salty. I would recommending douching after your period. It makes you feel so much cleaner. If you don't know what douche is, you can ask your mom or you can just go to any drug store and look near the tampons and pads and all that other stuff. It will say douche on the front. You just have to look. They come in boxes. They have different scents too. I don't think anything you eat affects it. But you might experience cramps, back aches, etc. Just take midol or Advil, or use icy packs or a heating pad. If I can't sleep at night, I use Advil PM. It is the best! You'll be fine. Trust me Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

justmindy	Wow, that last one was lame... I remember how worried i was & uncomfortable! SCARY! i know. 5-7 days is fine. if its shorter...don't worry! You're lucky, but the first time may differ from the rest. 4 weeks on a calendar, from the starting day to the next starting day---and maybe even having a little calendar to mark it...could help remember. And please...if you have older sisters or someone you feel comfortable talking about it...TALK To em! I regret not being open about that when i just started! I'm 19 now and i have issues where i HAVE to talk about it!!! Good luck chicka!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raven	In my experience these are the answers: 1. Cycles are what your body goes though every month, egg dropping, waiting for fertilization, etc. 2. The average period is 5-7 days 3. Each cycle is different, but the average cycle is 28 days 4. Please Shower, because the menstruation is truly dirty and smelly 5. Not that I know of, but chocolate is recommended. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stephanie73	Cycles are the time from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period. On average, they are 28 days, but anything from 3-6 weeks can be considered normal. You can expect your period to last between 3 and 7 days. When your period stops, it will come back approximately 28 days from the first day of your last period. This can vary from woman to woman, and anything between 3 and 6 weeks can be considered normal. When you first get your period though, it can take some time for your body to adjust, and your periods may not be regular for a while. Yes, you can shower (or do anything else that you'd normally do) when you have your period. I have never heard of any particular food affecting your period. However, if you are extremely overweight or underweight, it could affect how regularly you get your period. You may also notice that you tend to crave certain foods when you have your period (I know I crave chocolate and salty foods). I hope this helps, but you shouldn't feel shy about asking your mom any questions you have. She's gone through this too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
