Top 10 Causes Of Heavy Menstrual
How do you know when bleeding during your period is abnormally heavy? The easiest way to know if you are experiencing menorrhagia is to take note of how often you need to change your pad or tampon. If your period is heavy enough to require changing more often than every one or two hours, or if you have a period that lasts more than a full week, you may be experiencing menorrhagia.

Why Is My Period Late?
One of the questions I'm asked most often is "Why is my period late?". Although, pregnancy is the most common cause of absence of menstruation (amenorrhea), many times, the women will also assure me that they are definitely not pregnant. So, what else can cause an absence of menstruation?

Welcome to this week's About.com Women's Health newsletter. This week we talk about the signs and symptoms of pregnancy and other pregnancy-related issues, as well as anemia and other important issues. Have a healthy week! Tracee

Am I Pregnant?
"Am I pregnant?" is probably the most common health question women ask. The signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are easy to recognize, particularly if this is not your first pregnancy. No matter how many times you get pregnant, the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are the same. However, this does not mean that you will experience every pregnancy the same way.

DIY Pregnancy Tests
Taking an at-home-pregnancy test was not an option when I had my children. Today, women can find out if they're pregnant even before missing a period. Find out how at-home-pregnancy tests work.

12 Tips For Coping With Stress During Pregnancy
For years obstetricians have looked to see whether an increase in stressful events can either cause miscarriage, result in preterm delivery, or in some other way harm a fetus. Up until recently the consensus had been that while excessive physical work can bring on preterm labor, emotional stress did not seem to have negative effects on pregnancy outcomes. This conclusion, however, has recently been challenged.

Welcome to your About.com Women's Health newsletter. Are you experiencing perimenopause? Learn what happens and what signs and symptoms indicate that you are perimenopausal. Have a healthy week! Tracee

Is This Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the ten to fifteen years before menopause occurs. Menopause officially occurs when you have not had a period for one year. The average age women experience menopause is fifty-one; however, this is only an average which means many women experience menopause several years earlier and later. The best way to determine when you might experience menopause is to know when your own mother went through menopause (unless she had surgically induced menopause due to hysterectomy.

Does Perimenopause Cause Mood Swings
Many factors may influence your mood during perimenopause. The cause of perimenopausal mood changes is a topic of debate among researchers. Some believe the decreased amount of estrogen produced during perimenopause triggers brain changes that cause depression.

Is Abnormal Bleeding Normal During Perimenopause?
While it's normal to experience irregular bleeding during perimenopause, it's important to understand that not all menstrual problems are caused by perimenopause or menopause. There are several things that can cause abnormal bleeding.

How To Prevent The Symptoms Of Perimenopause
Preventing and reducing the symptoms of perimenopause is easier than you might think when you have a clear picture of your monthly cycle and symptoms.
