I got it on December 7, 2011. Lol I was 12. I went to the bathroom after 2nd period and I saw a little brown spot. So these were the days when like none of my friends had their period and I was SOOO embarrassed to ask someone for a pad so I just waited till I got home and then tried to put in a tampon (sooo stupid) and it was the most uncomfortable thing because it wasn’t like bloody enough idk ahhhaha. Anyways yea that’s it lmao I was so so naive back then
so, one month I started smelling very badly down there….but I ignored it. when I went to check my under wear there were little tiny brownish red dots on it. I was in total shock so I completely ignored it, hoping it was not what u thought it was. the next month the smell came back so I practically ran to the bathroom and checked my under wear. this time, (I had just gotten home from school so I had smelled like that all day :/) my under wear was covered in reddish brown blood. I literally screamed so loud my mom came in to check on me. I showed her my under wear and the toilet paper I had wiped with to check if it was real. she looked at me at stared at me for a long time. then she went and got pads, smiled, and handed them to me. 😭 omg I was so embarrassed but oh well.
I got my period on the 27th of April I woke up at a sleep over at my friends house I went to the bathroom and saw a red dot I was like omg but I ignored it and then I went home at twelve. I went to the bathroom and wiped I saw blood my mom wasn’t home when she got home I told her she was happy my period was very light so she said put on a panty liner
Ps. Im 11 in fifth grade
So I was 12 years old and i was visiting my sister in Montreal. we saw a movie and during the movie I felt like I was gonna throw up so we were walking around when I almost threw up 2 times on the street. ( I thought it was the poutine and tea I ate) so when we got back I had some Ginger ale and was lying down and I was alright.
2 days later it was the first day of school and I was really exited and I couldn’t wait. the day was fine but when I went to the bathroom after school I freaked out because I saw red blood in my under wear. I stuffed my underwear with toilet paper and watched tv trying to relax. I told my mom at night that day. it was quiet so I just said it. she bought me pads and it was alright.
remember always tell your mom, and don’t worry about PMS, I only got PMS the 1 time. I never get cramps now. Everything is always gonna turn out fine
I got my first period a few days ago. I came home from school and BAM it was there. My mum made me go swimming. Thankfully it did not become the Red Sea.
(it is now 5 days later and it just ended! Yay!)
So this was a couple of days ago and I was fine the entire day. Like I didn’t feel anything I was completely fine. The I went to the bathroom, and to let you know I like to you know scroll through instagram or watch a netflix movie, So anyway right in between Lilo and stitch I looked down and there was like brownish reddish drops of blood. So I was like welp let the games begin.
Ok so I’m am 12(and three quarters) I was in my chorus class when I felt something wet when I laughed😐 I though I peed a little bit so I just didn’t think of it. Next I went to English. The wet feeling came back like three times in that class so I asked to go to the bathroom. When I got there, I saw ALOT of blood and started freaking out . So I ran to the nurse and she gave me a pad and pants and let me call my mom. After that my English class was over and it was time for math. I ran back to my English class to get my things and my teacher was like “where were you?” I was like at the nurse. She was like “ you said u went to the bathroom” and I was like I know thinking she would get the hint. But she didnt😑 so she said “next time come back to class before you go” and in my head I was like for what?! So everyone can see i got my period?! So now I don’t like that teacher and she hates me soo yea. 😕 that day was awkward but watevs.
So that’s my story ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well, last night my stomach felt weird. I thought it was something I ate, so I took a Tums and went to bed. This morning I had a very bad stomach ache, and I went to the bathroom and there was no blood in my panties. So I went to school, and during third hour, I had a wet feeling in my panties and I asked for a pass to the restroom. I looked in my panties and there was a brownish red substance in my panties. I didn’t have a pad, but I knew it was my first period. I took a piece of toilet paper and put it in my undies. I lasted two more hours until the cramps got so bad I had to call my dad. I made extra sure it was my period again and it was. I told my dad and laid down for a while. My sister called my cell phone hearing from my dad I got my first period, and she told me how to put in a pad. When my mom came home she got me some soup and she had brought me home a chocolate bar. And chocolate actually does make it feel better.
I just or my period today!!( im12) so I have had white stuff in my underwear for a while now And it seemed normal so it didn’t bother me and I was sitting k. The couch and I went into the bathroom and I had underwear on that had blood on the sides(cuz I cut my lower thigh shaving) and I thought whatch me get my period and I wiped and I saw red stuff and I thought wtf!!? So I wiped and wiped again and sure enough….it was my first period. I haven’t told my mom yet though
Im 12 and i had my first period today. Yesterday i had really bad cramps in math and i thought i was gonna die! Yes, it was that bad. So i was walking home from school today and when i got in my driveway, i felt like i was peeing. So i ran inside to the bathroom and looked at my underwear. It was like a dark red. So i went pee and it was yellow and i was confused for a second. But when i wiped, it was really red! So i told my mom and she was like, “yay!!!”.
Wow. Okay weird stuff on here. I got mine yesterday, and it already seemed to have ended but I don’t think so, since I got mine at night. The only really weird/awkward part about it was that when I was buying tampons, a man checked me out.
The weirdest part of all was when he looked at me, then at the high strength pads and tampons and then at me again and said, “Is this your first time?”
Soooo weird. Wish me luck, I’m living in hell, but at least it’s Woman’s Hell
:)
The first time I got my period was kind of weird. I was at a rest stop because my family went to Florida and we were just coming home to New Jersey (where I live). It was a one bathroom stall and I saw discharge with some brownish-red coloring. I said to myself “I’m a big girl now”. I turned 13 in July. So this is like an okay moderate age to get your period. When I got home, I changed the went to bed. This morning I woke up and knowing that I had a potential period, I went straight to the bathroom. I saw a bright red blob called blood in my under pants. I put a panty liner on knowing how to use it and I went to my mom and said, “ Mom. I got my period”. She just woke up from her nap too. She was all like “Aww my little baby girl.” I went upstairs, took a shower, changed, and put a pad on in a kit I got in 5th grade. I’m now in eighth so keeping things come in handy. Now I’m going to the store to buy my panty liners and pads. :3
Tips:
-Dont panic. You are just going to scare yourself into denile.
-Talk to your mom. All moms have their period. They know what you are going through. Don’t be nervous. Just tell her. And if you don’t have a mother and feel uncomfortable telling your dad, go to a teacher or your friends mother for help. Your dad will figure it out someday.
-Take showers. You don’t want to smell bad. Everyone should be taking showers anyway. Baths are a no no.
-Change your pad every 2-6 hours. Depending in how heavy or light your period is, change the pad or panty liner that you’re wearing. It feels icky when you leave it.
I hope this helps.
this isnt much of A Story but i went to the bathroom and i had a very light period or i thought it was my period i only had it for one day,so im not sute if it was my period or not.
It was April 26th, 2008 and my 12 year old self was coming home after my last ever gymnastics meet. I went to go take a shower and wash the hairspray out of my hair, and pulled down my thong and saw ope! A dime-sized drop of blood. Part of me was excited about “getting older”, but I was also bummed since I was hoping it wouldn’t come for another year or so. I decided to stick in a pad (that I kept from the sex ed class in 5th grade) for the night and tell my mom the next day. I forgot that my mom was doing my laundry and she woke me up at 3 AM and brought me out to the kitchen. She was nearly in tears and told me that I “was a woman now”. I remember for the next month or so my body felt hollow as I have drained myself, and I liked having an excuse not to participate in swimming. The periods were light and in frequent, the heavy 10-day cramp fests didn’t come for another year.
So I just got my first period yesterday. I’m 14 this year and have been for about 6 months, so I’ve been expecting my period to start any day. I read some of the posts on this tumblr and I’m quite lucky actually because I was at home at the time, not at school or out, which would be quite inconvenient.
So I was just going to the bathroom to pee and I noticed a lot of dried reddish-brown stuff on my underwear and I thought to myself “Yay I got my period.” I was actually quite cautious because I thought I got my period a few months ago, but turns out that was just a fluke, but there was a lot this time so I was sure it was real. When I wiped after I peed there was also blood on the toilet paper. So I changed my underwear and and put on a pad and didn’t freak out about it or anything.
Since my mom kept asking me before, when I will get my period, she seemed a little excited so it was kind of awkward, but she gave me more pads and advice as well~
Well it was the second day of 7th grade (I’m a freshman now) and I felt soo weird all day..kinda moody in a way. (Moody is totally normal for girls) anyways I had to go to my grandmas that day after school. Well we were eating and my stomach felt so weird. I was like “I need to use the bathroom” just all calmly. So I got up and went to the bathroom and of course I had to..poop..and I went to wipe and there was blood. I was a little freaked out and didnt think much of it. I went back to the table and finished eating. After eating I was like ah I don’t feel goo again. I went to the bathroom and realized wow I have my period! Anyways I had a doctor appointment for a physical not long later. Maybe like two days later?..and they asked “have you gotten your menstrual?” I said no… And then when the doctor left i started crying and my mom was like omg what’s wrong?! And I told her and the she told the dr. Weird right?/: but hey no big deal! It happens. Just don’t be afraid. I like to get home after a day of school, put on pajamas, grab something to drink, and ask my mom for chocolate.
It was last year in August right after school started and that night there was a few dots of brown in my underwear but I thought nothing of it but the next morning there was more so I told my mom and she asked if I knew what to do and stuff and I said yes I knew from fifth grade the girl teachers took all the girls in one room and talked to us about it. I had tall knee high boots so I wore those with dark jeans and had a pad in my boot because our school doesn’t allow back packs in a restrooms.
So, I had REALLY bad stomach pains (I’m 12 btw) and I went To the bathroom and I saw a brownish stain on my underwear. All day I was having mood swings and my stomach hurt all day as well… I’m really scared to tell my mom 😰
Im 14 and I got my period last week. All the other girls I knew already had their period and I secretly wanted mine to, just to fit in. Before I got my period I was so worried that if I started, and didn’t know, that I would walk around with a huge blood stain on my pants. I knew it was coming pretty soon and I had been wearing liners for a few months just in case. Heres the story; During our lunch break I went to the bathroom to take off my liner because it was feeling a bit damp (sorry, tmi) anyway I went to the bathroom, did my business and then took off the liner. I didn’t see any blood when I wiped or on the liner. Three hours later: After a 30 min bus ride home I stopped at my best friends house and we walked to my house together. An hour later we were about to go out so I went to the bathroom. When I sat down I noticed a large amount of blood in my undies. It wasn’t what I expected, it honestly looked a lot more like a poop stain because it was so brown. Well I finished my buisness and I got up and told my best friend who was waiting outside.She told my mom while I got a pad. Im so glad she told my mom cause i had no idea how to and i thought it would be really awkward. I had it for a couple days and had no cramps or moodswings. I thought I would be happy to get my period but tbh its really just another problem to have to deal with.

So I got my first period when I was 11. I was using the bathroom and when I pulled my underwear down I saw blood in my underwear. So at first I just stared, not knowing really what to do. I had forgotten what my Mom had told me about getting my period. So after a while I called my Mom into the bathroom. She acted pretty normal when I told her. She got me a pad and made sure I knew how to put it on. Then she made me tell my Dad(I dont know why!). That was sooo embarrasing. But its not really regular now. I dont really get it every month. But yeah. That’s my period Story.
i got my first period when i was 12, at the end of the school day starting with a little bit of brownish discharge. i ignored it and got on the bus. as soon as i got in my house i ran for the bathroom and sure enough more brown discharge. i stuffed some toliet paper in my panties and went on with my day until my after dinner. i went upstairs and waited thinking about what to tell my mom. i texted her “mom can you come upstairs for a sec”. and when she got upstairs i hugged her and whispered in her ear “i think i got my first period”. we washed out my panties and went to walgreens. my mom had hers when she was 14 and my grandma got hers when she was 12. so my mom was not prepared at all, she only uses tampons.
I was in my room playing my iPod .I had to go pee.I went pee when I wiped I saw blood lots of it.i still haven’t tolled my mom.
I was home alone and found this brown stuff in my pants at first I thought it was poop, but it kept on happening day after day for about a week I thought it was my period but didn’t know how to tell my mum because it didn’t really look like blood so I used toilet paper. But yesterday it started again and I had swimming today but I didn’t know how to tell my mum so I went swimming today ( luckily it was dry so none came out) but I got home today and it was gooey I don’t know what to do so I’m waiting for the actual red blood to come out so my mum will notice ( she does the washing) or for her to realise because if this isn’t my period how would I tell her.
I was just about to get in the shower. I always go pee before I get in the shower.I wiped and I was like OMG.(I’m only 10).I wrote a note to my mom and left it under her iPad.We went and got me like 10 boxes if pads.I was do embarrassed because we had a boy cashier
So it was just like any other day and I couldn’t feel a thing. Then I went to the bathroom an usually I sit on the toilet and scroll through instagram or watch a youtube video. So I was sitting there for a good 5 minutes. Then I go up to flush the toilet with my pants still on my knees and I looked in the toilet and there was blood. But it was like weird blood. So I had pads already in my bathroom (I’m prepared) and I put one on. I checked like an hour later to see if I was still bleeding and I was but the blood on my pad was like brownish reddish so I changed my pad and it still is like that. Oh by the way I started today. I must admit I was sorta scared it wouldn’t happen because I’m 13 and I am 5ft 7in I only weigh 90lbs but still everyone got there’s before me. But still I’m not yet sure how I feel about this new step in life. I’m not ready to grow up. I still eat spongebob shaped Mac and cheese.
I had been feeling aches and cramps all day. My parents weren’t home that day and I didn’t think much of it. What’s funny is that night I right before I went bed a pad commercial came on. I woke up at two in the morning and went to the restroom but when I wiped there was a whole lot if blood. At first I just kind of sat there shocked then I started sobbing and my mom knocks on the door asking what’s wrong. After I told her I went to bed and had to go to school the next day. But at school the blood leaked through my pants which practically killed me with embarrassment.
Anyway don’t worry about your period it may seem scary at first but eventually it’s just really annoying.
So I just had my first period today. I had a sleepover with my cousin yesterday and when I woke up I was having really bad cramps. These stayed with me for the whole day (still have one as I’m typing, ow). When I went home I decided to go to the bathroom since I was too embarrassed to end up having my first period in my cousin’s toilet. I went to wipe and there was a tiny bit of blood on the paper. I looked at my panties and they were covered with blood. I freaked out and threw them away, which disappointed me because those were my favorites. It scared the crap out of me and I was like “0.0 OMG WHAT HAPPENED I don’t remember randomly shitting myself!!”
so basically I started when I was 11 nearly 12(I’m 14 now) and I woke up on a Sunday morning and there was blood in my bed so I went the toilet and I didn’t know what to do, i knew what towels looked like so I just put some tissue down on my underwear and went down to the living room and sat quietly, about 15 minuets later my mum came down to me and said have you started, I nodded my head a bit because I was still in primary school plus I didn’t know what to do, it was scary, so my mum took me upstairs got me new pyjamas, underwear and got me one of her towels to borrow, but in the night I started to get severe pains in my back, I couldn't walk or anything, next thing you know I was shaking like it was snowing but I was literally on fire, I kept throwing up and stuff and I still do now, its scary but i’m used to getting ill like this now.
So it was early in the morning nd I just woke up.vwewll I had to peeand I felt something hit my unders and I warlike oh crap. The I looked at my underwear and there was blood I cried for8 hours
So yesterday i got my period! And im 11 o.o i got a little freaked out but i knew what it was so i was outside playing with my little sister when i felt something going on down there. I went to use the bathroom and it was blood ofcourse i told my mom what happened and gave me a pad.
But in the morning that same day i had a brown spot and i was like what is this? But i realized what it was. :P
When i had my first period i was 11 and my underwear was clean when i went to the restroom i cleaned myself it was red then i told my mom and yeah.
I was 13 and 11 months when I got mine. I looked at my undies and it seriously looked like poop. I started freaking out and was wondering what had happened to me. I put on a pad and it had pink discharge on it. Then the next day there was more brown goo I wasn’t sure if it was my period or not. I knew when I wiped and blood came out. I was lucky that I didn’t have a waterfall of blood.
Okay so basically my first period was so awkward. It was like 7:15am in the morning and i was getting ready for school, my mum was in the bathroom getting ready for work, ya'no doing her hair, so i went to the toilet and had a pee, i wiped and i noticed there was blood everywhere, then i looked at my knickers and there was this brownish liquid lurking in there, so i kinda hid myself while my mum wasnt looking, i usually hide my hairy part anyway because she makes a big deal out of everything, but there i was freaking out in my head, i felt like crying. So i looked at my mum and i literally whispered ‘muuum’ and she turned round like 'what’ and i shown her the brown stuff in my knickers, she grabbed some pads out of the cupboard, gave them to me and then she walked out the bathroom to write me a note for the schools nurse (which i never gave her, because its totes embarrasing) she walked back in the bathroom and went 'congratulations!’ I was just sat there like a lemon dying of embarresment..
So my moms b-day had just begun….12 or 1 in the morning…and I had to go pee!!! So I went and wipped and saw blood all over the toliet paper!!! (Great timing!!) I freaked at first and my mom was sleeping I woke her up and showed her the paper!!! She freaked!!!!! Then I went to the kitchen to cry of happiness!!!! :D Sooo I only had my period for 2 days……but they said it was normal!!!! I was 12 yrs old!! My docter had said that Id get it later!!! But I got it July 16!!!! My moms BIRTHDAY!!!!
I think my first period was really strange. I was on holiday in India, and after a long drive to the city of Coimbatore, I arrived at the hotel and rushed to the toilet to pee. when I pulled my pants down, I didn’t notice the blood until after i was done peeing, and i was so scared and excited! my mum had told me about menstruation, so I knew, but I actually had all the details from the internet, lol. Anyway, I called my mom, and she was busy so I called again, and when she came, she was, like, ‘oh.’ and then she showed me how to stick a pad on my panties, and she did it for me the first time. I was really down cause I was supposed to go swimming with my cousin in our hotel pool! It kinda spoiled my holiday, but I’m glad I got it cause my BFF got it a few months back and I was a bit jealous, to tell you the truth. And now we’re equal once again, and I can love her with all my heart!
I got it 1 month ago… It was 2 in the morning. When i went to the loo, i saw a dark red spot! I knew i got my period… I’ve wanted it so badly! I didnt expect to get it at the age of 13… So i put a pad on and went to bed. The next day i changed my pad and went to school( i wore a skirt because i wanted my area to stay un-sweaty). During lunch, i was walking across the commons to my friends. As i was walking past my crush’s table, my pad fell out! Onto the floor! With a loud plop! My crush and all his friends looked shocked. My crush whispered, “is that a pad?” I was so embarassed i ran to the bathroom and cried u until lunch was over. The i called my mom so she could pick me up. The end
My story is about a mistake I made when I was younger and my period now.
When I was in 7th grade I was just getting ready to play a volleyball game against another school in our town when I had to pee. I sat down on the toilet and saw a very small dot of red on my underwear. I thought it was my period so I calmly (yet bouncing up and down inside) put some toilet paper in my panties. When I got home from the volleyball game I said to my mom “ I think I had my period” she said “we’ll we need to get you some pads then” But I soon learned that I had not had my period when I noticed a bug bite I had scratched on my bottom that had started bleeding.
Years later at the age on 14 I was watching tv with my mother when I had to go pee. There was no mistaking what I was this time though. There was like a freaking waterfall gushing on the toilet paper as I wiped. I then remember how the night before I had got no sleep because I was so sick I thought I may die. I grabbed a pad out of the closet an went on with my life because after the scary incident when I was 12 I already knew everything I needed to know. That first day was horrible but I bought some medicine and everything was all better! My favourite products to use every month now are tampons because pads are messy and in the way and midol because its only 5 bucks and is seriously a life saver when it comes to cramps and bloating!
I was 13 years old and i was in the store with my mom trying on clothes and i looked in the mirror as i was trying on some pants and i noticed some red brownish color blood in my panties. I was scared to tell my mom because my stepdad was around. So we went home and i got in the tub and put tissue in my panties but i was still scared to tell her so i didnt tell my mother that i started my period until the next month when it came again,. I was uncomfortable telling her but i knrw she had to find out sooner or later. When i told her she was shocked and she asked me did i have any cramps because when i told her it had just happened and i was literally sitting on the toilet. So i told her no i didn’t have any pain any where so she went and gave me some of her pads until she went to the store so when my stepdad came home she told him what happened and i was so mad i mean i was already embarrassed and now im even more embarrassed because i didn’t want him to know. So thats my first period story!
My first period started when I was 13. My day was going so perfect, and I was with the boy I had liked. We were at school and I Felt something really wet in my undies so I turned to him and smiled faintly (not wanting him to notice something was wrong) I thought I had pee’d myself so I asked the teacher can I go to the bathroom and she said “yes, sure” I went up to get my pass signed and my crush asked me to get a hug before I go so i said “sure”. As I gave him a hug, he said he’ll walk me to the bathroom I said “No it’s ok” he said he insisted ( I Didnt want to be rude ) “ok” so we walked out of class and as he was starring at me he told me I have a red spot on my butt. I ran to the bathroom and cried. I pulled down my pants and seen my surprise. As I went back in class he said “your period came on” I said “yes” he said “oh ok”
I’m 14 ½ And Yesterday I Was Home All Day And Didn’t Think Today Was The Day I’d Turn Into A Young Woman And So I Had Been Outside Playing With My Brother Alot And Cleaning The House All Day . So Around 4 or 5 O'clock I Went To The Bathroom And I Was Pooping And On Facebook Lol And I Dint Look At My Panties Til Like A Few Mins After And I Saw Brown Stuff And The First Thing I Thought Was Did I Poop On Myself But Then I Thought If I Did It Probably Would Be On The Part Of My Panties So I Took Them All The Way Off And I Wiped Myself An Just A Little Blood Was on The Wipe . So I Yelled “MAMAAAAA” She Said “whattt” I Said Come Hereee She Said Spray Some Air Freshner First So I Did . She Came In And I Said I Think I Started My Period She Said Wipe And Let Me See . So I Did And She Said Awwwww And Hugged Me So Then We Went Too Walmart To Get Everything I Could Possibly Need And Want To Stay Clean And Fresh ! 6/24/13 Is My Date !
okay so i first got it when i was twelve and it was like a week before christmas and i went to pee and i pulled my panties down and i wasnt really paying attention and i look down and i saw blood and i started screaming and my mom ran in and i was asking if it was my period and i didnt know if it was the right color so i was crying and youknow the brown stuff was in my underwear and my mom soaked it in something idk and my brothers kept saying i shit myself and it was horrible and im actually on my period now but i hate it.
The first time I got my period was when I was at school and I had really bad cramps and I was pissed because they hurt so bad.Later that day at like 9pm I felt this warm liquid down my legs so I pulled my pants down and saw blood so that’s when I knew I started my period and I told my mom and she told my to use a pad
The first time I got my period was the second day of seventh grade. I had no clue it was happening or what was going on. The bus was about to come to pick me and my siblings up for school when my mom pulled me into the bathroom and told me there had been blood in my panty. She told me to put on a pad. I distinctly remember asking her “What’s wrong with me?” Then I hurried outside to get on the bus. The bus was coming, and my mom was following me with a plastic bag full of pads, yelling after me to bring some with me to school. I refused, and was extremely embarrassed because I thought some of my classmates saw the pads through the bag.
It was Friday May 31st and my class was on a field trip to Yellowstone. When I got home I had to pee super bad. I pulled my panties down and lo and behold! I found some brown stuff in my legs. I thought it was crap, but I didn’t remember pooping. Then I remember what my old neighbor and current friend told me about when she got her first period. Blood in her undies. I figured this happened to me so I put toilet paper in there and made several trips back to change until I remembered something in maturation class about tampons, so I rolled a piece up my crotch. After hearing some stories, I’m glad I did, cause I could not go to where I was volunteering with blood all over me. Again I made trips to shove stuff up there. My mom was with my brother, so I waited until like, 4:00, for her to get home. I was in some trees in our yard daydreaming when she asked why I was sad. everyone asks me that, its just I’m reserved so when I don’t talk my face looks forlorn. I said how nothing was wrong then mumbled “Blood in my undies”. I repeated this until I worked up the courage to say it so she could hear. I’m very concerned with my public appearance so we went to Albertson’s where no one knew us to get some pads, but I still waited in the car. We got a large chocolate milkshake from McDonald’s and went home where I tried them on. I just have to say I am thankful because my crotch hurts so much less, I am making less trips to the bathroom, and we wont run out of toilet paper as quickly ;)
So my first period is actually today. I haven’t told my Mom yet and am nervous to tell her. My period blood was a sort of purply maroon color and I stole one of my Mom’s pads. The first thing I did after that was go online and then (apparently) post this. I was kind of expecting my period so I’m pretty calm about it. After all I AM 15. I also quit gymnastics (you know, 20 hours a week) less than four weeks ago. I pretty much knew that the cut back on physical activity would lead to me having a period.
I got my period a couple of days ago. so i went to the bathroom to go pee, and i saw a couple drops of blood on my underwear, but they were as a needle’s point, so i didnt think much of it. the next time i went to the bathroom there were more drops and they were bigger. i got out a pad from under my sink. (my mom had got me pads a couple months before to “prepare” me). i put it on and went down stairs and said"Mom, i think i had my period.“ she said ok, just put pad on and it was over. i wanted my period but at the same time i didnt want it. so yeah.
Okay, I don’t really know what to write her, only that I owe everything to everyone who spoke about their periods on here. See, here’s my story. I’m not usually the honest type - quite shy actually, but hey ho, I owe you a lot.
Yesterday, I went to the toilet after school, I noticed the brown stuff and immediately knew it was my period - weird, how quickly I figured it out - and I didn’t know what to do. I just stood there shaking for, like, ten minutes. I heard my dad come up the stairs, and I realized I had been a while. So I shoved by brain into work mode. I remembered seeing my mum’s box of tampons in the cupboard under the sink, so that was where I looked. I didn’t really like the idea of tampons, so I looked deeper. Eventually, I found some of those Always Towel things, and I knew that they were perfect.
But I still had some ruined pants and no idea what to do otherwise. How do you tell your mum? Do you tell your mum? What am I going to do now? Basically, your head goes ‘Ahhhh! What is this dark magic?’. I was so traumatized, I was crying when I woke the next day. There was some blood on the bed sheet, so I switched the sheet and hid it. My mum was calling me because I was taking FOREVER. She noticed my red eyes and asked if I were okay. I said I had stomach ache, because truly I had, but it wasn’t as bad as some that I read about on here, so I feel quite lucky now.
She called my Grandma and said I could have the day off school. I was wearing a pad, over two pairs of pants and two pairs of leggings. Yes, I am very paranoid. And rightfully, because even so, some blood got through the five layers of protection onto my poor Gran’s couch.
When I got home, I changed my pad for a tampon, and the bleeding stopped. For, like, five minutes. It soon started up again, weirdly enough, it started again when I sneezed, ha ha. Anyway, by seven o clock I had to change my tampon back for a pad. Then my mum went to the gym. No big deal at the time.
Twenty minutes later, I am stressing so much that I type I am having my first period into google. This tumblr came up and… My mood began to lift. There are a lot of people here who know exactly what I am going through. I went through pages 1 to 6, all of them. It gave me enough courage to begin to anticipate my mum coming home. When she came home, I waited for here to come upstairs. I rushed out to tell her, and, just as I thought words had began to evaporate from my shy mind, “I think I started my period”. Those six words that made me cry so hard I nearly died. My mum was like “Oh, it’s okay. Don’t cry. It’s natural, you’ll be fine” which is so nice of her. When I’d calmed down, it was easier, because she went through where everything is, and thanks to this site I know a lot more about my periods.
Five minutes ago, I had the most scary moment of my life. Not the period, but the telling. It is scary as anything. But when they say “You can tell us anything”, they mean it.
Is it sad, that that is one of the most inspirational stories I think I’ve ever read or written in my entire life?
Warning very informative!
O k. So I was 11. My belly was hurting so much it felt like a needed to go to do a number 2 . So later on the day. i went to the bathroom and it was discharge clear discharge. I was just so confused because the pain was so painfullthat i though it was my periods so. The next day i had diarhea and i was like rolling my eyes so grossed out because i thought it was my period.About 2 hours i needed to pee so i went and saw brown stains at the side of my panties and i just thought it was the diarhea from earlier. Before bed.it was a horrible disgusting experience.Please don’t laugh! Iwas diarheoring if thats a word and vomiting at the same time so like it was gross. In the morning nothing at all until now 2months later still no sign of it and it was like only for one day so i was suprised i didn’t tell my mom about the brown stains. i was to scared to tell her. So if anyone knows what happened to me please comment :)
was about 12, I was and still am, an avid gamer-girl. There was this guy I used to play with, and being at the age where my hormones were raging, I had a big crush on him. my dad lives in another country (him and my mum are still married.) and I was over there at the time, so me and my mum were walking around the mall and because of this guy, I thought I had butterflies in my belly from him. I told my mum an she was like, nawww. and teasing me about it (._.) It sort of felt like I felt guilty? anyway so two days after that I was playing with this guy on the PS3. this sounds gross, but I kind got itchy and scratched. my hand felt wet, and I was like wth. so I went to the toilet an i didnt know what to think when I saw brown stuff on my pants, itwas all over my legs aswell. i told my mum, and she showed me how to us a pad and I went straight back on Ps3(lul) my mum asked me if it was weird or anything and if i was alright, so we went to her roomand talked tjen we realised my dad was in th bed listening!!!! i felt so embarrised I locked myself in the bathroom and slept in the bathtub. :)
