My story: I started my period when I was 15 almost 16 and I was baby-sitting at the time. My cycle is generally 7 days on and heavy (we're talking 6 cups+ a day).

When I was in high school I was in ROTC. I went to a sort of mini-boot camp, the only mini part about that was the length of time. I got my period but didn't bring anything with me. And this was probably the heaviest period I've ever gotten. No one had extra tampons so I had to go through the boot camp running to the bathroom every other second (with TONS of marine drill sergeants biting my head off) to wash my underwear and replace the gobs of toilet paper. I went through 4 days of that and it was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

I have SEVERE problems with trying to get my period regular. Sometimes its on for 2 months STRAIGHT and FULL with no signs of stopping. But my biggest dilemma is I haven't had my period in 6 months. There's no risk of pregnancy, it's been 2 years since I've had sex. The doctor is clueless as to why it's stopped. No, I'm not emaciated or over-exercise, anyone have any ideas?

this was day two, the red tide, and oh was I craving sugar today. I don't usually crave sugar while bleeding.
Now I'm full and crampy...

I get sugar hungry a week or so before, and come to think of it that didn't happen this month. I was sick though, and avoiding sugar and alcohol.

But at least this was a normal cycle month, not a weird short one like last month.
