I'm Mary. I'm a sophomore in college and I love helping people. If you ever need advice or someone to talk to I'm here for you! Never hesitate to ask or message me. Hope I can help!
advice
I have a 24 week old kitten, and whenever shes eating, or closes her mouth after yawning or something I hear a clicking sound, like her teeth are grinding together, it doesn't seem to bother her and it hasntbeen happening for too long but is this normal or should we get her checked out?
heyy, i have cats too. it sounds like its nothing serious. it may be because her teeth are growing. i don't think theres a need to take her to the vet. but just keep an eye on her. if you see it starts to change and her mouth seems irritated or maybe hurts her you should definitely make a appointment.
hope i helped! :)
So i like this guy, he's going into high school and im going into 8th grade.(no problem, im going to be going to the same school) He took me to the 8th grade prom when my other plans cancled. He is even in my band class at school. He always listens to my problems and i help him with his. Both of us have shared about stuff normal people wouldn't and I trust him like he was my brother. We have a billion things in common and he is definately the sweetest guy i've ever met. My mom likes him too :) I talk to him about every day on myspace but i have no idea how to talk to him in real life! How do i know if he likes me? Most importantly, how do i be myself around him if i don't know what to do?
thanks,
alexa
Heyy, it seems to me that he likes you too but you can't know for sure unless you ask. You two seem like really good friends and its good to start out that way, you'll have a good foundation if things work out.
The only problem i see is when you were writing it seems like you two barely see each other in person, hopefully i misunderstood. Next time you're talking online(privately like aim, not myspace) you should tell him how you feel. You should tell him you want to be more than friends but if he doesn't feel the same way you'll understand.
It may be tough if you don't see each other a lot but if he really likes you, things will work out. Now about talking to him in person is something you can't really be taught. Practice is perfect! haha. you just have to try to relax around him and realize that he is a good friend and he likes you for who you are so you don't have to try to act any different.
Things work out with you two and that i helped you out! If you have any other questions just lemme know; good luck!!! =]
I'm a 13 yr. old girl. My mom got mad at me b/c I accidentally knocked this picture of my cousin's new baby out of my purse into the toilet at the mall when I was looking for a new tampon and I didn't even try to save it because I thought it was ruined. Mom said that if I would've reached down and gotten it out quickly and dried it off good, it would've been fine. She also said that I probably messed up the mall's plumbing by flushing it b/c pics shouldn't be flushed, and that if I thought it was ruined, I should've fished it out and thrown it away.
Is my mom right that the picture could've been saved? Is she right that pictures shouldn't be flushed?
Heyy. Sorry about the picture but i was a little confused about why you seem so worried. Maybe if you had grabbed the picture quickly and dried it you could have saved it with only a little damage. Also, don't worry about the malls plumbing! I mean, sure, the toilets are really only meant to flush toilet paper and stuff but i'm sure one picture didn't mess anything up.
Your mom was probably just upset about the picture but it wasn't your fault. If the picture had fallen in the dirty toilet, i would have thrown it away to! Hope i helped! =]
I think I am in love with my best friend. He and I have been friends for years, but he doesn't seem to get the hint I want to be something more. How can I get him to realize I want to be more than just friends?
hey i am SO sorry! my computer was messed up and wouldn't let me answer your question until now!!! You may not even need it answered anymore but here goes . . .
Sometimes its really hard when you have feelings for a close friend. Before you do anything you have to think about what his friendship is worth. Many relationships don't work out so you have to think about if you two went out and broke up, would you still have a friendship? are you willing to risk it?
If you truly do want to be with him then definitely go for it. If he is your best friend and you two can talk about a lot of stuff i think the best approach is to just tell him. If you are really forward and say, i really like you and want to try being more than just friends, you are more likely to see is true reaction. If he says yes then there you go, you both now how you feel! If he says no, its best you know right away so you two are both on the same page.
I am sorry i took so long and hope my advice still helped. PLeaseee lemme know what happens. I really hope it works out with you two!
ok so i have tried to put in tampons and it didn't go so well. Am I doing it right or is there something wrong with me? I put one leg on the toilet and put it in the hole. But when I was trying it wouldn't go in. I can see the hole but when i try to put it in, there is like a muscle stoppng me from putting it in. and when i push it in it hurts so i stop. Am I putting it in right or is it suppose to slide in?
Hii. No there's nothing wrong with you. The first time tried to put one in, i used a cardboard tampon which was a big mistake. I was in the bathroom forever and it took me so long and it hurt! I thought it was impossible to get something that big into that tiny hole!
Here's what you should do:
- make sure you use the smallest tampon size you can find and make sure its plastic! (they go in somuch easier!)
- get Vaseline and and put tons of in the applicator (but try not to get it no thepart where you grip it.)
- and lastly,make sure your legs are wide apart and read the directions on the box.
It may hurt in the beginning and when you finally get it in it may feel uncomfortable the first few times but after that it'll be so much better than pads and it will get so easy. You'll be using super plus in no time ;]
Hope it works out and i gave you some helpful advice!
this is gonna get long, sorry.
my ex and i dated for a almost 17 months and we were amazing together. understood each other, never once fought in all that time, just completely compatible. but we broke up in november for complicated reasons. i started dating another guy in january/february who i had been sort of crushing on since august. things went way down hill and we started fighting alottt, mainly because of his jealous, obsessive ways. we're currently on a break/broken up but still kinda together. basically, we just dont have the title right now but we act the same and are hoping things will get fixed. my ex has not dated anyone else. we still love each other, and we know it. we were each others first loves, talked about getting married, everything. and i dont doubt that we still will end up married. we still talk, he tells me he loves me, and i resist from saying it because of my current guy. my mom and i were talking tonight and even she told me how great my ex and i were together. i wanna tell him soo bad that i will always have feelings for him, and that i hope one day we will end up back together, possibly forever. just everything ive been keeping in since the breakup. the only thing that's holding me back is the current sorta-boyfriend. i love him alot, but i know it's not gonna be forever. when we're not fighting, we're great together and he's so much fun, and we've wanted to be together ever since we met. but i feel like i just really need to get this off my chest to my ex. last night he said he loved me, i was playing around and said 'naww you dont'. he said 'yeah i do, i know you dont love me anymore, but i still do'. that almost killed me. and i wanted to say all this then soo bad! but i feel as if that wouldnt be loyal to the sorta-boyfriend. i would never cheat on him, especially with my ex. but ARGH! they dont like each other, so they dont talk, so im not worried about word getting around if i talk to my ex. i just dont know if it's the right thing to do. i want him to know im still here, ya know? i figure technically im single, so i dont know what it would really hurt, but a part of me is saying it would be wrong. like i said, i love my sorta-boyfriend, and it would break my heart if we broke up for good, so it's not like i would immediately go running back to my ex, but in the future, i can totally see it happening. and i know he would give anything to have me back. gosh i just need someone to help me.
Heyy. From what i read i think you still have very strong feelings for your ex, and theres nothing wrong with that. I also think that the relationshio with your current guy isn't really a healthy, you may still like him but it seems like you are only still with him because you feel loyal, but i don't think thats fair to you or him. You say you fight a lot and you currently aren't even together. I really think you should tell your current guy that you have feelings for him but it isn't working. It may be hard but i feel like youlike the idea of your relationship with him instead of him. If you can't see your relationship lasting, whats the point in being in it?
I also think you should definitely tell your ex how you feel. Its not fair to him to say i love you and for him to think you don't have feeings for him when you clearly do, haha.
I think you should tell him that right now isn't the time but you do love him but you do see yourself with him again.
Sorry my answers long but i really hope i helped. Lemme know what you decide to do!
I am a 20years old female and come from a very religious family who believes that sex before marriage is a sin. All the women in my family were virgins until their wedding nights and the same is thought of me. My family is unaware that in my mid teen years I had been sexually active. I have not had sex in a while. I met this incredible guy who I love dearly and am serious about, and I want to have sex with.
I am deathly afraid of getting caught.
I can not decide between my family's happiness or my own. I feel like choosing my own would be selfish.
I have two scenarios. Either I have sex with the guy I deeply love, behind my family's back and their morals, and just pray I don't get caught
or pregnant.
Or I don't have sex with him in order to please my family's beliefs, and live the rest of my life heartbroken that I lost my love.
Please give me your honest opinion on what I should do. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Also if you have time I have one more question. I've been on Lutera for almost 2months. I would like to know how effective birth control pills are if taken everyday at the same time? And do you know anyone who conceived a child while using birth control pills and were using them correctly as directed?
Heyya, I really understand your problem. First you really have to look inside yourself. Forget about what your family wants for a minute. If you aren't really religious and truly feel like you are ready to take that step, if you really think it will make you happy then by all means do it. However before you do, also think about consequences, not being caught by your family per say, but pregnancy (or STD's; unless you really trust him). There is always a chance you would get pregnant so be prepared (there is no true safe sex).
Once you've thought about how getting pregnant could truly change your life (would guy support you?), or even an abortion, then you should make your decision. (Sorry is i seem really uptight about sex, i know a lot of people don't get pregnant, but theres always a chance and if it were me it would be a tough decision, especially if you love the guy.)Obviously, if you do have sex and your parents find out they will be upset but you have to let them know that you have your own morals and that you have to make your own decisions(you are 20 after all!). After the initial shock they should be okay, haha.
One last thing, i may ave misunderstood you but you said if you don't have sex you would loose your love. Also remember that you shouldn't think you have to have sex or the man you love will leave you. If he truly loves you, he'll wait.
I'm really sorry this is so long!!! Haha, and I reallyyy hope i helped. Lemme know how it goes? =]
Well my boyfriend has a wart on his finger. I was just wondering if he fingers me can I get warts....down there?
Thanks
Heyy there. Yes, warts are contagious. They can be spread from person to person and warts are more common to pop up in warm moist places! (eww haha) There is a chance you wouldn't get them but i would definitely say, don't let him finger you with that finger! A wart down there would not be pretty!
Many people have warts and they do go away on there own (but they may last long) so if you did get one it wouldn't be the end of the world but still, i wouldn't take any chances.
Really hope i helped! =]
So, ok im f/14. IM SORRY THIS IS LONG
My boyfriend and i have been together for a year, and nine months.
Recently i have become extremely annoyed by him. We used to be able to talk for an hour or more on the phone and now i dont want to even pic up the phone and call him. but when i do, we have nothing to talk about. He talks about movies and video games i've nevr heard of, and he's not into anything i am.
We are both in our schools orchestra(acctually we are the only ones in our grade) We never were taught to the best we could be, because we were only 2 people. Next year in high school we will be with the other grades of orchestra, and i (although i have been busy this summer, and havent had time) try to practice and get better, he just says it deserves to get bad, and its the teachers fault.
We argue about alot, we have different views on almost everything. LIke he complains that his family is broke and might loose their house, but they own TONS of video games and movies, i say why dont you sell some of them, and he says no, would you rather have a family thats happy, or one thats bored?
BUT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO BE TOGETHER IF YOU LOOSE YOUR HOUSE!
He doesnt make sense in the way he thinks, and i've just lost the want of him. He tells me how much he wants me, and stuff (like.. sexual stuff)
And i dont care anymore.
I think i might like another guy, but even if i dont, i still dont really want to be with the guy im with now. But he says imthe only reason he has to live, and if i break up with him, i dont want him to commit suicide!
Please tell me what to do! and how to break up with him gently (and ways to help me get enough courage to break up with him)
Thank you SOOO much!!!
Heyy. This is a tough problem, but i really don't think your relationship is healthy and think you are right for wanting to end it.
If he is sensitive and really cares for you it is very important to break up with as gentle as possible, like you said. First you should tell him that you still care about him and don't want him out of your life. Just tell him that you two have grown apart and you think it would be better for the both of you if you could just be friends. If he gets very upset just tell him, you aren't happy and if he really doesn't care for you he'll understand.
No matter how gentle you it is still going to be very hard to do and he might still get very upset. Just make sure he knows you still want to be close with him and that you will still be there for him and friends.
Sorry its long, and i really hope it goes well and that i helped!!! Let me know how it goes! =]
Ok so my best friend has been through a lot this year. a little while ago i was pretty much her only friend then i got her reaquanted with her old friend that moved away who was also a very good friend of mine. now the friend that moved away,becca, has this brother that i really like. and she knows that and is cool with me likeing her brother. when i introduced the other girl sarah to all of them she started liking the brother. and she knows that i have liked him for a while. then this other guy came in and his name is john. he liked me and i kinda liked him but i still like the brother a lot more.and so i didnt know what i should do about my friend because i didnt want a boy to mess up a great friendship and i really want my friend to be happy. and i kinda thought that she might back off since she knows that i have liked him. so i decided that i will have john and she can have the brother. and now they are about to become a couple. and honestly im really happy for her but it hurts and i havent been around both of them yet and im scared that i might get jealous or that its just really goin to hurt to where i cant hang out with them. i guess the main thing that i feel is that my best friend came in grabed the guy i like and doesnt realize how that makes me feel. and i have helped her through alot of hard times. i have told her how i feel about him and she says that she will back off if i want her to but what friend would acctually tell her friend to back off. ok well if anybody can acctually understand this please help. sorry its confusing
Heyy, i understand your problem and don't really agree with the other answer you got.
I do think it is really nice of you to let your friend have the brother. It may not be that she doesn't care about your feelings, she may not know that you feel so hurt. It is good that you don't want a relationship to get in the way of your friendship. To prevent this, you have to talk to her. Tell her that she has to be more aware of your feelings.
Now depending on how much you really like this guy, you can either ask them to break up or just let her know what your doing for her. If she doesn't care or back off then she doesn't have her priorities straight and you should tell her friends are more important then guys and she better realize that.
I hope this makes some sense and that i helped. I really hope it works out for you, please lemme know how it goes! =]
So my ex who i went out with for 4 and a half months, told me on IM last night that he wanted to talk to me more because we haven't talked as much since he broke up with me. He also was telling me that it was the biggest mistake he's made in his whole life and he wish that day never happened. But then, my friend, who has been quitting quite close with him, has been getting closer and closer, and i asked my ex if he liked her, but he said 'kinda' and he's moving in 2 weeks, so i don't know what to do or say. I don't want to ruin friendships but on the other hand, i'll feel terrible. And i dont understand why he just told me all that but 'kinda' likes someone? i think he's ready to borderline ask her out? but hes moving? and ahh! i have no clue what to do
Heyy there. I completely understand how confusung this probably is, relationships usually are! haha.
I think that what you guys have may have been important to you but because he "kinda" likes someone else it isn't worth it. Even though he may regret it he is moving anyway and i think it would just be a mistake.
I know youmay feel bad, but you should judt tell him you want to stay close friends,and he should understand.
I hope everything works out and that i helped! Lemme know how it goes =]
This is somewhat of an embarrassing question to ask. I had sex on the beach, without lying on any sort of towel or blanket (ugh). Obviously sand kind of went all over the place, and now I am REALLY sore. Should I see a gyno? Or is this something that will sort itself out? Anyone who has had a similar experience, help would be much appreciated.
First i would just like to say, i wouldn't do that again. Sex in a public place is a little gross in my opinion, but hey, i'm not judging. (i just hope this wasn't during the dayy.)
Anywayy, yes, i would see a gynecologist. Because you say you are extremely sore (i'm not exactly sure where) but i think you should see a doctor just in case. Hopefully, everythings okay but i would go just to be safe.
I hope everythings okay and that i helped! And, when your doing something as intimate and private as sex . . . do it somewhere private! =]
so my boyfriend likes to play these games i guess you could call them where he pulls the strings of my hoodie and sometimes he hits me in the face like never hard just little taps and like yesterday it went to far he hit me really hard and it left a mark.. he knows i dont even like it when he does it softly and i told my best friend because i was crying.. and she was like im gonna go after that stupid a**hole and then some of my other friends found out and said the same thing.. im really afraid if my ex finds out hes gonna like beat him up really badly because my ex is like one of my best friends now and .. if he finds out my boyfriend will like end up in the hospital everyone says i should dump my boyfriend .. the thing is he said he was joking and it was an accident but we were arguing while it happened so and we definitely wernt joking around so i dont know what to do.. what do other people think i should do?
Heyy, i understand your problem. First, you should realize that him hitting you is veryyy serious. You said he usually hits you softly, just joking around, and i get that, but this time it wasn't a joke. It is possible that it was an accident and he didn't mean to do it so hard, but the way you described it, it isn't likely.
You have to ask yourself, is he worth it? If he treats you badly, dump his ass. You could find someone else, someone better. If you really do love him, you have to talk to him about it. You have to make sure he knows that this will never happen again and if it does you'll leave him right away, then hopefully things will be okayy. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes . . . But if he does start getting violent, don't wait around, and of course if it ever gets to the point where you are scared of him or scared to leave him, tell someone.
For now i would just talk to him and make sure he knows he did something really bad and it can nott happen again. Unless you want to dump him, then go right ahead. Also, if your ex is your best friend, i would let him know what you are going to do and make sure he doesn't start something with your BF, let him know that them getting into a fight won't help the situation, only make things worse.
Sorry this is so long, i really hope things work out and that i helped! Lemme know how it goes =]
The last time my boyfriend and I had sex was about 3 weeks ago, and my period is now 5 days late. We did use a condom, but I've always been regular before. I also felt very naseous for about an hour yesterday and about an hour this afternoon. I'm waiting a few more days before I get a pregnancy test.
Should I tell my boyfriend that I suspect I may be pregnant before I take the pregnancy test? Or should I take it first to confirm/deny my suspicions so I don't worry him?
Heyya. This is a tough question.
Personally, i would wait and take the test, then tell him but it is up to you. I think everyone would have a different opinions, but i think it is better to wait. Why get him worried if it's nothing, and if it is something, you can deal with it then.
I hope everything turns out okay and that i helped, lemme know how it goes. =]
You gave really great advice. thank you so much.
the problem im facing right now is that hes my friend. and wer friends but hes still flirting a little bit. and like, the body language between us, people think were going out. and i cant be his friend without missing him so much. i tell him this but i think he wants me to miss him because he dosent want to stop talking.
so my question is, is there a way to end this "cold turkey" and it actually working?
i believe in baby steps, but i dont know what baby steps would be to solve this problem. any ideas?
thank you so so much!
Heyy. If you want your relationship with him to end completely "cold turkey", it probably will work. If you want to stop talking to him that is totally understandable.
Before you end it, you might want to tell him that, he means a lot to you but you need a break from your "relationship". You could tell him that its important to you that he understands what you're going through. You need some time for yourself to figure things out and if he really cares about you, he'll give you some space. Once you've had some time, you guys can talk again.
After you talk to him he might be hurt but he will probably understand. This is also gonna be hard on you. You will definitely miss him a lot and want to go to him, but you should just give yourself a while to get over him. Once you think you have, you can let yourself be friends with him again.
Thanks for asking me, this is a tough situation and i really hope i helped you. Let me know if things work out. Good luck! =D
There is this boy that goes to my school and he always flirts with me. I am in the 7th grade, and I've liked him since 4th grade. Well; Friday night I finally told him I liked him. MAJOR MISTAKE--> he has a girlfriend. He DOESN'T care about his girlfriend, the only reason he is going out with her is because the first time he dumped her, she wouldn't quit crying and he felt bad. But we were hanging out the whole time at the dance on Friday, and he was MAJORLY flirting. Well, school is out this Thursday, and I'm REALLY IN LOVE with him, what do I do?!
Heyy! I totally get what you're going through. It seems like this guy might have feeling for you but its tricky because he has a girlfriend.
If you feel this strongly about him, you may want to talk to him and tell him that you really like him and because school is getting out soon, this is your chance to do something! The only problem is that he may still have feelings for his girlfriend and it would be bad to mess things up between them if he does.
I was also curious about his answer. You said you told him that you liked him, but what did he say to you?
If he seemed okay with it, i would tell him how you feel. But don't come on too strong, just let him know you really like him and would like to go out with him ONLY if he doesn't like his girlfriend anymore. If he does (still like her), you should just say its okay to just be friends, if you really like him you wouldn't wanna come between him and the girl he likes, even if its painful =/
I really hope things work out with you guys and that i helped. Lemme know how it works out! Good luck =]
I started dating a guy and I really really liked him. He was the first guy I had ever hooked up with without being in a relationship.
The only thing was-- he was on a break with his girlfriend of four years. The reason for their break was he wasn't ready to be married, and she was.
I had never felt so close to a person before, and we knew that we were falling in love, but that it was a really difficult situation because he had this good girl who did nothing wrong but want to be with him.. and a new girl who he was starting to fall for.
Well, I lost in the end. And not only did I lose a guy that I loved, I also lost a friend. It's been months, and God knows I've tried. But I miss him so much.
I don't want to contact him, because I care about him enough not to ruin what he has. In the same matter, I never got the closure I thought I deserved. But how do I get passed this? How can I move on? I need help because this all ended in December and I still think about him everyday.
Please help.
Heyy. I completely understand what you're going through. It is so tough to get over someone that you loved. I understand you not wanting to ruin what he has with his girlfriend and that is so nice of you. But i was wondering why you had to loose him completely, like why you two could just be friends?
Maybe you left something out or his girlfriend doesn't approve . . . anyway. If you can't see him anymore it will be tough to get over him. All you can really do is just try to move on. Maybe try and find someone new. It is always good to get back out there, even if your heart isn't in it. Even going on a few dates with someone may help you move past this other guy.
I'm sorry you miss him so much. I really hope you get passed this and that i helped even a little. Good luck =)
i know theres so many questions on here asking for help with love and there are more importtant problems out there. i wouldnt be asking this except its really interfering with my life. my sleep, the way im thinking, my friends, everything. im sorry this is so long.
if i seem noncholant about anything dont take it that way. ive just been thinking about things a lot and ive come to accept most of it.
im 14. hes 14 too.
so heres the story. 6th grade he asks me out in april, i didnt really know him or like him that much but he was cute and it was 6th grade so i said yes. we got along and talked a lot and got to know eachother a little bit. in may he told me he loved me, i said thanks. he went to camp in june, tried to kiss me before he left but i said no and he said okay. then he went to camp, wrote me letters every week saying he missed me. but the last week he didnt. i didnt mind, while he was gone i noticed i didnt miss him that much so i ended it when he got back. he said it was okay, he was gona end it anyway because he met someone else. so i was just like cool. yea i was kinda sad that night but after that i was just like whatever. and we really didnt talk after that.
then came 7th grade, and we went out twice. the second time we both sort of got bored with the relationship. the second time i ended it. i had just gotten surgery, and i was just like wow lifes too short to be with someone i didnt like in the first place. so we end it, we hooks up with random girls, i only miss the attention and wer all happy. oh i forgot the second time we kissed but it was kind of gross.
anyway, the point of this really long story is to show that thers a lot of history.
so now this year, 8th grade we dont go out but we've had two really serous things. and ive tried to end it so many times but he always talks me out of it.
i dont know how to end this without really hurting either of us. because heres the thing. ive really started liking him and it scares me. he thinks wer getting married and hes so nice. hes really a good guy but that makes it so hard on me because i dont want a relationship! my mom saw us walking today and thot we were dating. im just not intrested in anything so serous, but anything we have is serous because we've been dating on and off for three years. im 14, i dont know how to handle this. please any advice would be amazing. thank you so much.
Heyy there. Relationships are tricky, no doubt about it. I understand your problem so heres my advice. It seems he really likes you and thats why he doesn't want your relationship to end, but you're right, life is short and you shouldn't be with someone that doesn't make you happy. Also, it isn't fair to him.
To let him know how you feel you should tell him you really need to talk and go somewhere quiet where you can both really focus on each other. You should tell him that you have very strong feelings for him, and always want to be close with him (or at least friends that part is up to you). Just let him know it isn't something he did.
If he tries to talk you out of it, stand you're ground. Tell him you have thought about this a lot and that he can't talk you out of it. You aren't happy with something this serious. Once you make it clear to him that you still like him but don't want to be in a relationship, he should understand.
I hope i helped and that everything works out. Lemme know how it goes! =]
Lately, I've been feeling really dizzy and tired. It's been going on for the last 2 days or so, and I was just wondering--- has anyone ever felt these things with allergies? Because my cheeks and eyes have been hurting, and I've been congested and had frequent headaches.
I'd really appreciate some help-- because I'm a hypochondriac, and even though is just dizziness, I'm still freaking out thinking I'm dying.
Thank you!
Heyya! Sometimes during allergy season its normal to feel dizzy and tired. Its a wonderful part of spring, NOT.
Haha, even though this can be a regular part of allergies it might be something else. Take a few days to rest and take some allergy medicine. If you're not feeling better, you might wanna see the doctor just incase. Maybe he can give you something for your allergies.
I hope you feel better, and i hope i helped!
I am now on my period (it's day 5), and usually by this time in my cycle, bleeding is practically done, and all I have is minor spotting/old blood. But this time, my flow is pretty irregular for me, and I am still bleeding (almost medium flow). This is not normal for me, I should be practically done by now. I think that stress is probably a factor, but I am also concerned about one other thing... I started using a menstrual cup (bell shaped, collects blood), called Diva Cup. It was my first cycle using it, and insertion was annoying to say the least, I have been trying to get used to it (it beats pads and tampons by a lot), and I am not sure whether constant inserting/removing could have caused some irregularity in my cycle...
For any ladies out there: is bleeding this far out in my cycle a potential cause of concern, given I'm usually practically done by the 5th day? And also, could the use of the menstrual cup have had anything to do with this (or am I getting worked up over nothing)?? Thanks!
Heyy there! So you've started using Diva Cup. Well they are good for the environment so good job! Haha, I understand your concerns about your period.
I understand your period usually lasts for 5 days and longer than this is unusual however, a womans period can last up to 7 days so you shouldn't worry about it being a little longer than usual. (Mine usually last about that long it's completely normal.) It may have something to do with your new menstrual cup but its nothing to worry about.
If you start to notice that your period is longer than a week or you bleed way to much, you might want to see a doctor.
p.s. Menstrual cups have been known to cause yest infections, but only if they aren't cleaned and changed regularly. So if you care for the cup properly they shouldn't cause any problems.
Good luck with your period. Hope i helped!
