Hey everyone... I had a question I wanted to ask :) I'm 17 and have been regular for the past year or so.

I got my period on Christmas Eve and bled pretty heavily until December 30. Then about a week ago I started having severe cramps and not feeling good at all and I started my period again on Thursday the 10th. Since then I've been bleeding heavily again. To the point where when I get into the shower I am dripping down onto the floor. My mom and I are about to make an appt. with a gynecologist to get it checked out because she thinks I may be losing too much blood. Any ideas about what's going on or ways I can make myself feel any better? Thanks. :)

...any chance youmight be pregnant and having a miscarriage? (you dont' have to have had sex to be pregnant--there's a small chance that if you did anything involving semen near your genitals, you could be. small but possible. the doc will need to know that.)

now that i've scared you (sorry!)... do you usually have heavy bleeding and/or bad cramps? have you been more stressed than usual this past month? (that can change things).. otherwise, make sure you drink plenty of water (to help your body deal with this) and talk to the doc about maybe taking an iron supplement (if you don't already) to help your bod deal with lost blood. g'luck!

hey you didnt scare me. thanks for replying. i really hope i am not having a miscarriage... i got an appointment for wednesday so we will see soon. i just got out of a relationship in which i had become sexually active. we slept together once and we did use protection but i'm sure there is always that slight possibility right? and on top of that because of the break up and school i have been really stressed out lately. my hair has even started falling out! i'll keep you posted about what happens. thanks again.

man, I am so sorry to hear that. Keep your spirits high... no matter how low they seem. I know how hard it can be to lose a love, especially a 'first' but it will all work out. Keep us posted about yourself, K?

If you've been really stressed out lately, that's probably it. My body makes me awfully sick when I get stressed.

yeah that is probably what it is... i just need to relax i guess. i've been letting lots of things get to me. and that would explain the hair loss... so. we'll see.
