Women's Health - December 2006

My periods usually come every 4-5 weeks or so, genreally closer to 5 weeks. Last week it came about a week late (6 weeks since the one before that) and my current one came about 3 weeks after, so about a week or so early.

Are there any type of causes for early periods? I know late periods can mean pregnancy, stress, change of diet and excercise, etc. But I've never really heard anyone mention about it starting early in the cycle.

I've had my period for about 9-10 years now, so I know it has nothing to do with it being irregular from just starting.

So, does that necessarily mean anything?

I began using the Nuvaring birth control at the start of my last cycle (november 19) Soon after my period ended my fiance and I had intercourse, but he didn't pull out. The instructions say that the birth control takes effect after 7 days..I do believe this incident happened on the 7th day. It is the 18th now, and I began bleeding, thinking it was my period..5 hours later and there has been barely any flow and it is dark. I usually have a pretty heavy period. Could this be happening because of starting birth control, or should i get a pregnancy test?

I was just wondering what pill you are on and how much it costs?

I am on ortho tri cyclen and i picked up my first script today which i assumed was going to be around $25-30, but it was $40, and i thought oh well i bet it just b/c it is name brand, but it wasnt, it was the generic brand and that seemed a little high to me... is that an average price now??

I was going to the bath room,and I notice stains on my underwear.(But I've had diareah,not alot,but soft poop) so I was guessing that's what it was.then,I wiped after I went to the bathroom,and there was blood on the toilet paper.I do remember at a bowling valley,earlier,feeling like I was going to the bathroom for one second,but I ignored it because it barely felt like anything.Im scared.Any advice how to tell my mom,and any tips on starting my period?
Thanks.

I am a virgin and my bf and I regularly have dry sex. I'm 19 years old. When we do it, I usually have panties with pantyliners and he would be wearing just his boxers. We would both get wet, but we never ***. I had my last period end around the 18th of November but I usually have it around the 21st and it would end around the 27th, last month was an exception for I had it early. I still dont have it now. Is it possible for me to be just late or am I pregnant? I really don't feel different though. How many days should I wait until I take a pregnancy test.

Ok, I wear pads sometimes, and they bunch up really badly.. I even tried the ones with the wings, but there is still a problem. I have also tried tampons, but I am a virgin and they hurt really bad when I insert them, and once they are in me, they cause my stomach to cramp even worser. I dont know why they cause me side affects like that. I think I am allergic or something. Well, I was wondering, is it possible to use toilet paper to absorb menstrual flow are is that not a good idea?

I heard that if only your nipples are sensitive it's most likely pms, but if your whole breast feels tender, then it might be a sign of pregnancy. Can anyone confirm that?
