Err 'Experience' Girls Please?


Question:
Well i started my period but i seem to get through like five pads a day. Is this normal?! I chnage it when it's dirty because i like being clean and hygienic but i was wondering if it's normal. And when your about to start do you get really tired and bad back cause i do [this is my second one]. Does it change each time you have one like if it's heavy it always will be or if it's for five days would that change?!
Don't ask me to talk to my mother because we're not on speaking terms anymore. Any more info would be greatly wanted, Thanks. xx

Answers:
Yes, it's normal. 5 pads a day would be every 2-3 hours while you're awake, so that's just about right. If you're soaking through to the edges of a heavy flow maxi pad every hour, that's when your flow is TOO heavy and you should talk to a doctor.

Experiencing fatigue and pain in your lower back are totally normally, classic PMS symptoms. If they bother you a lot, try some OTC pain relievers like Ibuprofen or Motrin, or Tylenol if you have a sensitive stomach. Some people even use Aleve, which is made for arthritis sufferers, but some swear it helps menstrual symptoms the best out of all the OTC pain relievers.

Especially because this is only your second period, it's normal for your period to be erratic for the first few months. Your flow and symptoms may be totally different between months, and you may even skip a period, or get one sooner than expected. All of this is entirely normal while your body figures out how to manage your hormones and evens everything out.
i have the same thing :) its normal

Yes, 5 a day is normal. I use more on my heavy days, and about that on my light days. It's good to change it anytime it has anything on it. I do get tired when I'm about to start, some women get back aches, that's normal. Your period will probably change over the years. It will most likely get heavier in a few years and maybe become more regular. The length of your period might change too, there's just no way to know for sure. But that's all very normal. You can email me if you have any more questions, I'm very happy to answer. Email me through my profile, k?
yes its normal don't let no one tell you otherwise and take midol before your period and i get heavy on my periods so yea i go threw them pads fast also lol and to me not every period i have isn't different just the same old same old you know but for every girl its different cuz were all different soooooo the only advice i can tell you is take midol a week before your period and on your period make sure you take some when your not feeling well also remember read the directions on the box you don't wanna over do it ^_^ well other then that if you need anymore help feel free to email me don't think you can't ask for more help okay ^_^

welcome
yes thats normal. Every woman has different flows. Some are heavier than others, and some lighter. Yours seems to not be that bad. Being tired and achy is completely normal also. Your cycle may change over the years, but usually it's a gradual change.
everyone is different when they are on their period, but i go through about 5 or maybe more depending on the flow.
when my period gets ready to start i'm usually tired and somewhat agitated too.
