Article: Write down what day it starts, how heavy it is each day, when it stops, and how you feel each day. This record can help you predict your next period so you'll be prepared for it. The average cycle is 28 days long, though this varies from person to person. A cycle may last anywhere from 21 to 35 days in an adult, or 21 to 45 days in a teen. Look back over three months of your notes and count how many days it is between when your period started one month to the next taking the average of three months will give you a good idea of when to expect your next period. It takes some time for your period to get regular the first few months or even the first year of your period might not be very consistent. It can be helpful to show this record to your doctor or gynecologist if you ever want to discuss your heavy period with them. Keep enough pads or tampons in your purse, bag, inner jacket pocket, or backpack to last you an entire day. You probably will have to carry more menstrual products than others, because your heavy period requires extra protection for your clothes. When you need to change your product, excuse yourself and go to the bathroom you'll already have what you need with you. If people ask you why you keep going to the bathroom, just say that you drank a lot of water earlier. You can also say, "I am not feeling too well today," or something else vague. Keep extra tampons, pads, and panty liners in your car, your locker at school, your purse, or that spare pocket of your backpack. If you have extra products in several different places it's unlikely that you'll be caught without one, even if you have overflow. You can make a small period travel-kit with a couple of pads and tampons, some ibuprofen for cramps, and even a spare set of underwear just in case. If you have limited space, just put 1-2 pads or tampons in your secret spots. They don't take up much space and can at least get you through a few hours. If you happen to run out, many school and office bathrooms have machines that sell tampons cheaply. The school nurse might have supplies, too. Some schools may even have a free tampons and pads program. Often, people with a heavy period get painful, long-lasting cramps. It's appropriate to take pain medicine for uncomfortable cramps. Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen (Aleve) can minimize cramp pain. Start taking medicine when you first start noticing symptoms, and take it regularly for 2-3 days or until your cramps subside. If you regularly get painful cramps, you can preemptively start taking medicine as soon as you get your period. For severe cramps, your doctor can prescribe stronger pain medicine, like Ponstel. Only take medicine as directed by your doctor or the label. Talk to your doctor before using any medicine if you have health problems. If you don't want to take medicine for your cramps, try natural solutions for pain relief. Take a hot shower or put a hot water bottle on your abdomen. Distract yourself with a good book or puzzle to take your mind off your discomfort. Elevate your legs and get some rest. Other ideas for minimizing cramps naturally include: Take a walk or do some light exercise, like yoga. Meditate to lower your stress. Avoid caffeine.

Article: Ser is a verb that means "to be" and it's the only verb you'll need to tell the time. The two forms of ser are the plural form, son las ("they are") and the singular form, es la ("it is"). Only use es la when the hour is one o' clock. Use son las for all other times of day. For example: Son las dos. It's two o'clock. Es la una. It's one o'clock. Before telling the time fully, you should learn how to tell the time just using hours. Simply say es la una to indicate that it's one o'clock, and use son las followed the number associated with any hour other than one to say the time. Here are some examples: Son las cuatro. It's four o'clock. Son las cinco. It's five o'clock. Son las seis. It's six o'clock. Son las siete. It's seven o'clock. Son las once. It's eleven o'clock. Midnight and noon are whole hours, but you should say that it's midnight or noon using a slightly different method. Here's how to do it: Es mediodia. It's noon. Es medianoche. It's midnight. Telling the time in Spanish using minutes and hours is a bit trickier than in English. To tell the time in Spanish, you'll never need to use a number higher than 29. Here are the two methods you need to know: To tell the time in the first half hour, simply state the correct form of ser followed by the hour, followed by y ("and") and the number of minutes. Here are some examples: Son las siete y seis. It's 7:06. Son las diez y veinte. It's 10:20. Son las once y diez. It's 11:10. Just remember one exception: if you're indicating that it's the half hour, then don't say treinta ("thirty") but say media ("half") instead. For example: Son las dos y media. It's 2:30. To tell the time in the second half hour, you'll have to first state the correct form of ser followed by the next hour, followed by menos (minus) and the amount of minutes remaining until the following hour. Here are some examples: Son las nueve menos cinco. It's 8:55. Son las once menos veinte. It's 10:40. Es la una menos veinticinco. It's 12:35. Son las tres menos cuarto. It's 2:45. Note that you should say cuarto ("a quarter") instead of quince ("fifteen").
