How do you know exactly when your period is coming each month?

Question

I have my period only one time give tips

Answer 1

Do you have a day planner for your homework? The way I did it when I was young and not on BC pills (now I know because the white pills mean it's time to bleed!) was to put a little "P" down the very first day of my period, for a few months, then I just counted the number of days between those periods, and started predicting.

The normal cycle of a woman is something like 25 to 35 days, depending on the person. Some women's cycles are longer, some are shorter, and it's all good as long as it's fairly regular. Most women come in at every 28 days.

Keep in mind, though, that your first year or so of periods will be erratic. Especially after your first, you might not get another for a few months, so don't freak out if you don't get it for a while, or if you get it again in two weeks! Just keep marking the days in your calendar, and you'll see by the end of the year things will settle into a regular cycle. In the meantime, keep some supplies on hand at all times just in case!

Answer 2

Unfortunately there is no foolproof way. Most women track the first day of their period every month, and if your period is regular you will have it around that time every month - even the very same day for some people. It sounds like you haven't had it enough times to be able to tell if this will help. And sometimes when you first start your periods can be irregular.

So here are my recommendations:

You should always carry feminine products with you in case of an "emergency."

Sometimes your body will give you clues that you are getting close to that time, like breast tenderness, feeling more tired, moodiness, bloating, food cravings, lower back pain, and sometimes cramping. It doesn't hurt to wear a pantyliner if you are close to the time you had you last period as well.

Cramping and a feeling a kind of gushing down below can sometimes mean you are starting.

If you have "spotting" (small amounts of blood) or "pinking" (very slight and light blood discharge when wiping) I would heavily recommend you wear at least a pantyliner that has a absorbent core (like Carefree) or a thin maxi-pad just in case so you won't have any embarassing accidents.

We have all had moments where we have been caught off guard, if you can't find a vending machine in a bathroom or a store nearby, don't be afraid to ask for someone for a pad or tampon if you need one.

As women many us have our "stories" of how we started without knowing it was going to happen - so following the advice above should help minimize those times.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer 3

I get cramps, crave foods, feel depressed or easily irritated during the few days or week before my "monthly friend" arrives.

The amount of time between a woman's period is called her menstrual cycle

The cycle is counted from the start of one period(first sight of blood) to the start of the next.

Some women will find that their menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, whereas others might have a 24-day cycle, a 30-day cycle, or even a 35-day cycle.

Answer 4

For the first year it tends to be a bit irregular, but don't sweat it. Try to mark off the days in a little calendar, so you could keep track of it. You can't really expect it to come on an exact day each month, because a lot of things (like your mood, stress, food) could affect it. However, a few days prior to it you might start to feel some cramps either in your lower back or down in the pelvic area. Always carry some pads in your purse around that time just in case...and perhaps a pair of clean pants too. Welcome to adulthood, hun!

my period used to be really uneven, i started marking down when i was on, eventually it calmed down, but sometimes i had it every 3 weeks, sometimes i skipped a month, and occasionally i had it once in 2 months... that was a B****! but they should start to calm down, if they don't and you are getting really worried and bothered about it you could ask if you could go on the pill, as then you have a set time when you have a "period", its not technically a period, but it gets the bleeding out the way and makes it predictable :)

Answer 6

Well if you are not on any birth control you can not really tell an exact date but you can estimate about a week or so. But if you are on birth control your period comes at the same day each month.

Answer 7

The next time you have your period grab a calendar and count 28 days and what ever day you land on should be the day you will have your period.But if you dont you should have it some time that week.

Answer 8

Usually you can feel breast tenderness,low pelvic pain, water retention and food craving. If you have your period just one time may be you are suffering from a condition that causes missing periods (amenorrhea), you are definitly irregular or you are pregnant

Answer 9

You have to be proactive. Start keeping a small calendar and you will be able to know almost exactly to the day when it will come. You want to be prepared! Best wishes =)

Answer 10

It's supposed to come every 28 days. But for some (me included) it comes whenever it wants to.
Usually, in time, you'll get to know your body and recognize signs such as cramps, moodiness, back-aches, bloating, sick stomach, sensitive breasts, etc.
Just take it in stride, count your days and listen to your body.
