active during period
14/f
my school's track team is starting this week, and well around this week is when my next period is due. I am sick with an illness and my doctor told me to take it easy with sports. Well my basketball team is having a big tournament next weekend and the coach wants me to play, but not to take it too hard.
I've had my period about a year so far (maybe a little longer) and I tried a tampon once, lets just say it didn't go so well. So I just stick with pads. Well my mom is gone on a business trip and I don't want to try a tampon when she is not here... So my question is if I am active a lot (doing track every day after school for 2 hours, and then basketball practice mondays and wednesdays and then also a basketball tournament that lasts from friday to monday) is my period most likely to be heavy or light? or maybe normal?
like will a lot of blood come out when I am active? or is it just the same? or less???
And another question- The next time I try a tampon.. well how do I make myself less nervous because I know that the less nervous you are, the easier it is to insert it... and i can't seem to make myself not nervous. so how do i do that??
THANKS!

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
I know this isn't really the answer you want, but my best friend is on the track team, and she tried running with a super maxi pad on her lightest day, and she said it was more painful then a needle going into your eye. You're going to want to be running to the bathroom every second. I think you should just maybe skip the sports, until your mom gets home, and lets you use a tampon. They'll understand, just say you're busy and can't attend, no questions asked.
I don't know how to tell you how to be less nervous, but when I first used a tampon I was excited! I was happy that the smelly skiny hour pads were going to be gone, and it slid right in! Just make sure you know how to put it in properly, and this site will guide you.

well the best advice mi can give you is to use a tampon beucase when you are active there is a bigger amount of flow like during the tournament durnt half time you can always go to the bathroom. i dont know how to tell not to be nerbous but there isnt a big deal about inserting it just dont think about it so much everything will work out fine. if you do insert it right.
