Soak your bathing suit in cold water with a little hydrogen peroxide or salt in the water and you can get the stain out.

Now that we bottoms for your bathing suit lets talk about your cycle. When you first start your period (the first few years of having it) it isn't uncommon to have your periods to be irregular. You may start out with a regular cycle and then become irregular.

Your cycle is measured from the first day of your current period to the first day of your next period. The average length of a cycle is 28 days, but it may be as short as 21 days or as long as 35 days and still be normal. Ovulation occurs 14 days BEFORE your next period begins.

Keep a menstrual calendar and measure the time between the first day of your current menstrual period to the first day of your next menstrual period. This time is called your menstrual cycle. It is not unusual to have a cycle that is 19 days long or 35 days long. Obviously, the shorter your cycle the more likely you are to menstruate more than once

each month.

Your period may last between 2 and 10 days. Flow will vary during a cycle too. A light day doesn't always mean you've finished your period. I do recommend that if your period lasts longer than 12 days that you talk to your mom about checking with the doctor.

If you had a period and then it stopped (and you are not pregnant) or you get less than 6 each year, then you need to see your doctor.

Since some girls never have 100% certain predictability with their period it is important to know the clues your body sends. Some girls will get some cramping, some will see some skin blemishes, others may get sore or tender breasts. Most girls only know that their period has arrived if they get a damp feeling in their underwear.

I would call the dates ranging from 1-5 very regular. Quite likely it will never come on the same day each month (that is just too easy). Myself I just make a note when it's approximately 4 weeks since my last one and start wearing a pad before it comes if I think it might come soon.

Next time, if you get blood on something, soak it in cold salt water and then launder it in cold water.

Anyway, it looks like you *are* pretty regular, except that you had one late period in July. Lots of women never have absolutely regular periods, without going on the Pill.

You do know your periods can range from 21 to 40 days apart right......
