How is it possible that by attempting to improve a product they somehow make it worse?! I used Kotex Super Plus for a decade. They worked great. The only tampon i wouldn’t bleed through. Then around 2022 they were discontinued. I paid double the price while they were still available on Amazon just to have some until I could figure out a solution. Tried cups and discs to no avail. Ended up with Tampax Ultra to replace them.

Now they’ve updated the panty liners and they make me itch like crazy. Anyone else experiencing this? I swear this company hates women. Periods can be unpleasant and uncomfortable as it is and it’s like they’re sitting around a boardroom thinking “How can we make it worse? Oh, they raised the price too.

No Period One Year After C Section.

I have been waiting for my period to come back. It’s been 13 months since delivering my baby 26 month since my last period. I did have a c section and breast feeding in the evenings. My baby is now eating more solids than nursing. I also started Primal Queen Supplements and thought if it was a hormonal issue that fix it. And still no period. My last pregnancy I got it in 3 months even with breast feeding. At what point do I become concerned??

I had sex on the first day of my periods and now blood is not coming. It has been two days. Very little and very dark blood is there on my panty. Should I be scared?

So I’m going thru a cryptic pregnancy scare right now and I am 16 I am really scared.I had unprotected sex on 7th February with my ex ( we dont talk anymore and are on bad terms so I can’t tell him he also has a gf atm) we had unprotected sex but he didn’t ejaculate in me he pulled out,we chilled for 5 minutes and went in for the second round. Unprotected again we maybe did it for 5 minutes at most and he didn’t ejaculate and his penşs went soft right after he pulled out. I am scared of precum bc he didnt pee before the 2nd round 23th February I had my period and didn’t notice anything off about it but maybe I didn’t even pay attention to it because since he didn’t cum in me i really didn’t think of my chances of being pregnant. Fast forward to march 1-1.5 weeks before my “period “ i started getting a weird sensation in my stomach Daily like 2 times a day atleast. it was like something was moving from left to right and then a drop feeling in my stomach that’s when i started to get scared it lasted until my “period” started on 28th march the first day was normal but i started feeling dizzy on my second day(my dizziness lasted 10 days but it was not like a typical dizziness it was like my eyes weren’t right they were heavy maybe more like brain fog but i was feeling really tired like couldn’t get out of bed for days)anyways i bled for like 9 days which is really weird for me and 1-2 days medium flow 3rd medium/light and after that just brown spotting for 6 days and I didn’t have annnnyy cramps like literally none but my pms sypmtoms were normal i get a cystic pimple on my chin and my breast are tender and have cramps 1-2 days before then it goes away after my periods starts but I cramp kinda bad on the 2nd and 3rd day of my period. I went to the doctors for the dizziness and the doctor looked at my vitamin levels I’m not anemic but my Ferittin came back 7 I started taking liquid iron supplements and it went away but the doctors ( I went to 2 different ones) said that wouldn’t cause it I stopped taking the iron supplements bc it made the movement in my stomach worse every now and than I have weird zaps in my uterus I’m also so gassy and I have so much stomach sounds with little weird twitching on my stomach and everywhere else on my body . Coming to this month got my period on 27th April but I was scared of getting it late so I took 2000mg vitamin c then got it the next day 27-28th bleeding with small cloths and medium flow with reallyyyy bad cramps worst cramps I had then on the 29th really light bleeding didn’t fill up 1 pad all day and 30th I had light bleeding like spotting and 1th just spotting again my pms sypmtoms were usual and my tender breasts went away after I started also did a pregnancy test on The first week of April at 18.30 and it was negative I think I’m scared if there is a faint line tho. I have never felt like this before so I’m scared also I bloat before my period but rn I’m only “bloated” on my lower abdomen also forgot to tell it so adding this I have weird kick feeling like someone is knocking on the door for 1 time on the left side of my abdomen it lasts a second and is not consistent all day but not like muscle spasms or twitching just a single knock feeling and also it hurts when I suck in and I can feel a lump when I press on my stomach and it moves when I press on it and I pee a lot

I know that this is stupid but I just need someone to tell me that "No, you're not, you're just overthinkint" without calling me names, I just need support. I have been getting my periods, but they have became lighter, and more clotty once me and my partner got more "intimate." (By intimate I mean fingering, dry humping etc., HE WAS NEVER INSIDE OF ME, I know that by now it's just paranoia but I really need a strong "NO TF YOU AINT"). My body has changed, my belly got bigger, I keep feeling weird sensations etc.

Could it be due to me eating differently once meeting my partner, or just my body changing because of hormones?

I know that this is stupid.. sorry

Okay so my period is 14 days late I usually always get it at the end of every month, I got it today may 3rd and the blood is brownish red. I’ve been on a diet and 10k steps everyday the past month, so im guessing I missed it because of that. I didn’t gain any water weight but when I was supposed to get my period last month I did just no period. Will I gain any water weight on my period or none at all?

I checked my period app and it showed me that my period can come in the same day as I’ll land on my holidays. So does menstrual swimwear works? Thanks for help

Okay, so I use stardust as a period tracking app and it is saying im 49 days late at this point. Im really good with logging when it starts so I hadn't missed putting it in. Im 16(ftm), never had sex, not on Testosterone, or any birth controls either. Im kinda just in a panic to get it on with at this time. Edit: I should also mention that my periods are typically very irregular however typically happen around 1 1/2 months.
