Hello! I’ll jump in on this one. When you first start your period it can be wacky. Some women will have a perfectly regular period right away but when I first started it was never predictable. So having it be 6 days late is totally normal it can take a couple of years for it to figure itself out.

As for it not being there at all – again totally normal. If you make a major change in your life or are really stressed out your body will decide not to ovulate that month (it thinks hey – not a good time to have a baby) and so you don’t release an egg, the body doesn’t have to prepare for the egg, so alas, no period. This can happen to any woman no matter how long they’ve had a period.

As for water weight – oh yes! Bloating and water weight are very common for women leading up to and during a period. Combat this by drinking plenty of water and exercise as much as you don’t feel like it – all this brings some relief.

Hope that helps!

*sigh* okay, so I'm 19 and for the past 2wks almost, I've been spotting on & off, it goes from red, to pink, to brownish, & it has yet to be a constant flow, me & my boyfriend have ha unprotected sex like maybe a week or two before this started, I'm kinda scared & nervous that I can be pregnant, but I'm not certain, this just never happened to me. Than I read about the implantation bleeding & that made me wonder even more :/ I'm having lower back pains, I'm nauseous from time to time, & sleepy. I mentioned it to my BF & he to is now scared & nervous, we spoke about getting a pregnancy test very soon does anyone have any idea what it could be? *Needless to say my periods are usually pretty heavy, so this isn't normal for me & I wear a sanitary napkin due to the spotting, but lately its not staining it, its more when I use the bathroom it stains the tissue paper. Help Please!?

This month my sister had a very heavy menstral flow with more clotting then usual. Is it normal to release almost walnut size blood clots? What should she do?

Hmmm.. I don't think ya can stop it. Just call the doc and see what he says.

Can you call the doc's office in the morning and see if it is okay to take Ibuprophen (Advil)...and check on the dosing that would be okay to take (I took three or four Advil, but I am tall and my weight is around 150lb. so, do check on this...don't want you feeling ill from too much of this med). I am no longer having periods, but I recall having some incidents of "flooding" or heavy bleeding, and Ibuprophen would usually slow it down...not necessarily stop it, but I did get a break when I took this. If this is okay with the doc's office, it might be helpful enough just to slow things down or temporarily halt the flow for a little while.

Take care, Mary

I don't know how to put off your AF, she rears her ugly head whenever she wants and usually at the most inoportune time.  Go to the doctor, I am sure they have examed many women in your state.
