Question Posted Wednesday January 18 2017, 9:16 am
I'm new to tampons. Started using it from December. This time on the first day i used tampon and when i removed it, it was completly soaked. Then i changed the tampon and when i took it out there was not much flow. So that day i didnt use a tampon afterwards. The second day i used a tampon then also the flow was less. Then that day i didnt use a tampon again. Today is my third day and today also the tampon was not completely filled. So i took it out and again there was barely any flow. I dont know why this is happening. I hope it is normal. I googled and found that sometimes due to tampon the flow stips but then it starts again after a week or so. I dont want my period to come again after a short time. I want to get done with it. Is it normal for this to happen? Is my period coming to an end?

I haven't heard about tampons stopping a flow unless they meant to say its damming up a flow that is already going and prevents it from leaving your body. When the lining in the uterus is not needed because there is no fertilized egg attached to it, it will shed. A tampon worn won't stop the bodys natural shedding process. It may be that you were just a bit more anxious or stressed due to it being a first time use and that stress affected the flow.
Other than stress or illness stopping or lightening a flow, the only thing I have ever experienced that will actually stop a period flow once it has started is having sex. I have had partners who do not mind sex during a period and we both get a shower after anyways. But good orgasms have always stopped my period right at the start and when done having sex, the flow would start again within an hour.
