I'm thirteen and this is what I experience every month:
1. Irregular periods that last up to 10 days (heavy for the first four to five days, then very light for the next 5 to 6 days), and cycles that ONLY SOMETIMES take more than 35 days to return (i.e. I started one period last year on July 4th and didn't begin my next period until the 11th of August)
2. Almost painless bowel movements
3. Rarely, painful urination (every couple of months, I suppose due to yeast infections)
4. Severe cramps (they vary every time. They can be so painful I have to stay in bed for a few hours, which is usually the case, but sometimes they can be pretty light. I use ibuprofen to lessen the pain)
5. Very heavy flow (for the first four to five days, then it gets really light)
I have had my period for almost four years...Is all of this normal? My mom says she used to be this way at my age and that I am ok, but I've never been to a gynecologist.
