Embarrassing Menstrual Moment Stories Wanted
Has menstruation ever caused you embarrassment? If so, you are not alone. Almost every woman experiences at least one embarrassing menstrual moment over the course of her menstruating years. Did you ever find a spot of blood on your clothes during your period? Did you ever worry that your tampon or pad was not containing your menstrual flow? Let our readers know that they are not alone by sharing the story of your most embarrassing menstrual moment.

Readers Share First Period Stories
I asked you to share your first period stories a few weeks ago, and many of you have shared your stories. Read these first period stories, and if you haven't already shared your story share it now!

Pain Between Periods
Have you ever experienced severe midcycle pain? Does pain and cramping seem to occur during ovulation? What you are experiencing may be Mittelschmerz. Mittelschmerz is a German word which translated literally means "middle pain." Other words you may hear include: ovulation pain, midcycle pain, menstrual, middle pain, or cramps.

Pelvic Pain 101
Sooner or later, as women, most of us experience some degree of pelvic pain. How we respond to pelvic pain varies; some women are more bothered by pain than others. If pelvic pain is severe enough to disrupt your daily life for either a few days a month or for longer amounts of time, if pelvic pain increases overtime, or if you have experienced a recent increase in pain, you should talk with your health care provider to determine the cause.
