Friends share more than secrets

Last summer, when I was 12, my best friend was having a birthday sleepover party. Since it was in the middle of June, we were going to go swimming the next day. I was so excited, but when I got there, I felt really nauseous and I was acting meaner than I usually am. I already knew about periods and everything so I kind of expected it. So, I went to the bathroom and saw ALOT of discharge. I started to freak out but I couldn’t  tell my friends because I was embarrassed. I put some tissue paper on my underwear and went to play some board games with them. Then, right before bed I went to the bathroom and it was REALLY heavy. Luckily, there was a lot of pads in my friend’s bathroom so I took, like, three. I went to sleep and told them I didn’t feel good the next day so I couldn’t go swimming. It went fine, but I’m pretty sure their moms knew what was up.

Frikkin Friday

I was 12 years old and it was the ending of 6th grade. Almost all my best friends had already got their you-know-whats and told me it was “Death by vagina” (yes kinda quoting Dork Diaries) so i wasn’t all that excited for getting mine. I knew what they were, and the symptoms, and i had all of them…..so i was kinda paranoid about going to the bathroom, wore dark underwear, absolutely refused the “TALK” ,objected against taking pads to school to be prepared, and even avoided the subject of “PERIODS” (yea, imma say it…go ahead and laugh :)) I thought i could maybe avoid it for a while and deal with it later….like how i do with most of my situations….

But oh no..IT HAD TO COME. (I dont care if this is hella long i just want to get my stupid story out there.) I am usually a very outgoing person who has never known embarrasment and am very shameless so you would’ve thought..hey its fine right? NUH UH. 

So we were having a party cuz class was almost over…ya know…the last day of school, and we had several bags of chips, and all types of crap, stuffing our faces, and playing on our phones, and had a picture of the old bitches we called teachers and throwing darts at them. Then all of a sudden, my best friend Medha was like, 

“Dude go to the bathroom" 

And i was like why? She insisted and i went to the bathroom. Of course i was having abdomen pains all morning so i went all suspicious. Could it be?

I ran inside, went into the first stall, and checked my underwear. I took some toilet paper and wiped and i saw brown stuff….so i thought i pooped myself. I just cleaned my underwear and myself really good and stuffed paper near my butt so it could catch any more of the ‘poop’

i checked my leg and guess what? I WAS DRIPPING SHIT. AND IT LOOKED LIKE LIQUID POOP.

I cleaned it up with tap water and soap, and dried it with a paper towel. I washed my hands and left and we partied some more. 

Then i got into my bus and was having a language war with Gautham and Aditya and David, with three 5th grader girls, and we were almost winning until i felt really lightheaded and fell down onto the floor. It wasn’t fainting because i could still make sense of what was goin on. David helped me onto my seat (he has a crush on me.) AWWKWWARD! The driver gave me cold water and candy and i realised what was going on. My legs were dripping blood and my underwear was drenched in it. (I could feel it…DUH) AND EVERYONE SAW. I asked if i could go to the bathroom, because the bus doesnt leave for another 20 min. 

The driver agreed and i raced all the way back. I dashed into the bathroom and saw my entire underwear soaked. i cleaned it up pretty well and it slowly dawned on me. "OH NO. I.GOT.MY.PERIOD.” The reason i fainted was because i was losing so much blood that it made niagra falls seem weak. i kept cleaning it and it kept coming out. then i wrapped up a bunch of toilet paper and paper towels really tight and stuck it 'there’. It held pretty fine so i walked steadily back to my bus only to discover what? yea my bus left. So did my bag. So did my snickers bar and bag of doritos. I DID NOT sit in a corner and cry. I just went up to the admin and was like 'hey my bus left so im stuck here’ i was raging for no reason. The bus could always come back and give me a ride home.

The lady saw my legs, and looked shocked and immediatly contacted my parents, the driver, and had everyone informed that i had an 'accident’. So now, not only did i get my period, but i lost the language contest to david, tee hee, have a HEAVY FLOW and my bus left without me. And so did my food. Now my moms gonna yell at me cuz i didnt board the bus on time. And why??? Cuz mother nature sucker punched me in my uterus. 

Great. Just great. I waited for an hour, and the bus came back, i got my backpaack, stuffed my face and had my mom give me that IMMA-SEE-WHAT-HAPPENED-AND-WHY-THE-HELL-DID-U-NOT-BOARD-UR-BUS look. Hella scary….. She was like 'Janvi, why didnt you board your bus??“

And i told her. Her eyes got wide and she said 'well now i can be extra protective of you and no ones gonna touch my baby” She got me to walmart and let me pick out some underwear and a good brand of pads. she even bought me chocolate, ice cream a few movies and a paperback novel . We went home and my makeshift pad was completely soaked. 

I changed into a pad, and relaxed. It could hold. After some time, i took a full bath, and the blood didnt flow. The water stopped and it was victoria falls dyed red. 

So yea my first period was suckish and many people saw. But now i dont care because there have been more embarrassing stories before me, and after me so now i look back and laugh. 

P.S sorry this was long. :((

January 2015

perfect timing

so, i was at my friend’s house and we were talking about periods, and she told me she just got hers. we talked some more, then i felt a weird, icky feeling in my stomach below the belly button. i told her and she said to go to the bathroom. i closed the door, pulled down my pants, checked my underwear, and there it was. a dark reddish-brownish thingy in my underwear. i felt like i had just seen roadkill and i wanted to look away but i couldn’t. then, my friend knocked softly and whispered “did you… get it?” and i went “um, i think” and then it was just silent. i thought she’d walked away, but then a little green pad slid under the door. “just in case” she whispered.

Last day of Christmas break.

Crazy how our periods come at the weirdest times, right? Well my friend had invited me over to her house on a Sunday (no school Monday) I felt fine! We played video games, ate snacks, talked… the normal sleep over stuff. The next morning was the same. (NOTE: I normally pee first thing when I wake up but I didn’t that morning for some reason.) Anyways we ate and we where having a great time, but I said “okay hold on for a second, I gotta pee bad!” So I went into the bathroom and sat down looked in my panties and saw my discharge was darker than usual.. more of a brownish… i was like watch me start this week… first week back from Christmas break -.- haha. Well i finished peeing and whipped… there was blood all over the toilet paper! At first I was cool but then I lost it! My friend was really sweet about it saying it was going to be okay.. but it was awkward at home because I live with my dad. I’m going on my 5th day now… hope it stops soon!

Me crazy weird period story

So yesterday I felt very itchy ‘down there’ but took no notice of it. I went to go take a shower and when I took off my underwear I saw this brown discharge but I thought it was because of the itching. After my shower I put on clean clothes and took paid no attention to it for the rest of the day. The itching came and went. Eventually at night I started to get a bit worried so I did some research, o found out I could of had a yeast infection.i was curious as to what was in my undies that morning so I went to sleep he toilet and wiped my vagina and all this goopy brown stuff came off. I was confused and unsure because yeast infections don’t cause bleeding. Later that night I told my mum that I could have my period after I had started getting cramps. The first thing she said was really? Then she said I knew it would happen sometime at this age. She gave me a mini bag with pads, tampons and pandol. Today I had swimming and I knew I wouldn’t be able to wear a pad, I would have to wear a tampon. I put my bathers on without anything to stop the bleeding and mum took me to swimming. When I got there I went to the toilet to see if I would need a tampon. There were a few drops of blood so I tried to put one in. It didn’t fit and it hurt when I kept pushing so I put the bloody tampon in the bin and did my stretching. That morning I swam with no protection and in the end my bathers weren’t that bad only a few spots. When I was getting changed I put a pad on and all this blood came on to all of a sudden. There was lots of it. I tried to clean it up where some had gotten on my skin and finished getting changed. I went out side and waited for my mum to pick me up I then told her my story.

The nervous talk

Okay so the night before I got my period we were in the church praying (im12) I kinda felt all sweaty and I felt kinda wet in my pants. I ignored it. So when we got home I run into the bathroom and looked in my underwear there was some discharge with a tint if red in it. I thought well whatever it’s probably white and I’m getting colorblind (I was really dumb) so I had cramps the entire night so when I would up in the morning I ran again to the bathroom and checked my panties and sure enough there was a thick red line of blood in my underwear. Unsure how to tell my mom I went outside in the kitchen and started laughing nervously my moms just like what’s wrong so I said there’s red stuff in my underwear and surprisingly she just laughed and gave me tips and info about my period she helped me get pads and told me that I Have started my womanhood. After that day my mom and I have been really close.

I got my period today and didn’t think anything of it…  I don’t wanna tell my mom cuz its embarrassing first of all and second of all I need to make sure, because I didn’t have any signs or anything….I’m 11 years old…Crap…u_u

Jan 15, 2015

Some school day in grade 8, I woke up to my first period and the accompanying cramps. It sucked so I asked my mom if I could stay home just for that first day. After some convincing, she agreed. Usually when I or my siblings stay home from school because we’re sick, there are strict rules about what we’re allowed to do (no tv, no computer, etc). I spent the day playing video games. It was great.

Until my brother came home from school and saw me using the tv/xbox. He tried to blackmail me. He said that if I let him use the xbox immediately, he wouldn’t tell mum. I told him to go ahead and tell her. Needless to say, I don’t think that conversation went as he’d expected and I kept the tv. :)

Jan 14, 2015

My first period was literally on Thursday and now it’s Saturday. I’m 14 and I never imagined I would even get it idk why. But so I saw really dark brown stuff in my pants but I just ignored it then two or three days later the same thing happened during the day. That night I went to the bathroom. When I whiped there was soooooo much blood. I thought I was dying! I nearly fainted!! And hour later I was getting cramps but I didn’t tell my mom and went to basketball practice anyway lol I’m fine now though.


Ps. It’s not as bad as it seems, but clean up when changing pads is a mess! I have such a heavy flow for my first. I hope it doesn’t get worse.

my period

Well I got my period on April 15 or 16 on 5th grade (I’m in 6th grade now) and I went to the bathroom at lunch and my underwear were brown all over! I didn’t know if it was my period or not so I just put toilet paper and went on with my day. Later that day I told my older sister first and then she showed me how to put in pads and stuff then I told my mom and she was happy for me.

First period today

I’ve been desparate to get my period for a while now, and had been getting discharge for 2-3 months. It was today, and I went shopping with my friend. When I was in the fitting rooms, I noticed some reddish brown spots at the back of my leggings. I immeditely knew what it was. For the rest of the day, I had to tie my friends jumper round my waist…

Not that bad!

I am in 7th grade. My first period was two weeks ago. I was at school, and I had the worst cramp ever. I felt like there was a brick in the bottom of my stomach. I went to the bathroom, and saw brown dots and to be honest, I thought it was poop stains (eww gross I know) but I ignored it. But later on in the day, the word “period.” Kept crossing my mind. So at 4th period I went to the nurse, and she gave me a pad, and I called my mom . but girls, don’t rush your period, because trust me, when it comes on, you’ll want it to go away!! Be prepared for the worst and remember to always change your pads at least 3 times a day and use odor wipes . Good luck..

Jan 11, 2015

Ok, so i haven’t had my first period, but I know it is coming. I have had discharge for about 2 years, and it has been heavy for a while now.I also get terrible cramps. I am 12, just starting 7th grade. The reason I am commenting is because I just want to thank everybody else who commented. I now know exactly what to expect in my first period, and for that I am forever grateful. Once my mom gave me THE TALK, I have been dreading my period because I thought it would be the worst, most discusting blood-fest EVER! (I have a very vivid imagination) But, now that I read all 18 Pages of this, I am not scared at all anymore. As a matter of fact, I am actually looking forward to my period! So, I just want to thank all of you once again for posting. You can bet that the first thing I will do when I get my period, is get a pad, and post my story on here!

Wait...WHAT?!?

Ok,so I volunteer at a horse stables. So I was volunteering that day and I was told to brush some horses,so I went to brush a horse. I was brushing and just thinking to myself when all of the sudden I feel like I’m going to throw up! I walk around the horse pen and took deep shaky breaths,I felt very sick. It went away for a few seconds then came back,sorta like a wave,in and out. Finally the sickness passed and I went back to brushing the horses. After about a hour later I had to use the bathroom,but the only have a single outhouse so I went into the out house,I wipe and look down at my undies and there is was.BLOOD. I looked at it and smiled,it was happening.

First Period (kinda boring)

so I got my first period during summer break so that was okay. I had just finished 4th grade so I was 10 (now 12) and I woke up, went to the bathroom because I felt wet down there and thought “oh it’s probably just discharge” since I got it like 3-4 months before. Anyways I went and as I pulled down my underwear, the whole thing was covered! From front to back and I kinda freaked out bc I had been wanting my period for a few months and I finally got it! I had done research before on the internet and because of family life in school, but my mom didn’t tell me about periods etc so I didn’t know if she had pads or not but I kinda knew what to expect. Then I started freaking out bc I was like how am I gonna tell mom? And I thought of different ways to do it until I finally thought “you know what? I’’m just gonna tell her” so I went to her bed and was like “Mom?” And she turns towards me and then I showed her my underwear and then she gasped and took me upstairs. My mom uses pantyliners for her periods idk why lol so then I had to use them for a while and I always stained my underwear using them so one day we went shopping and I asked if I could get pads and then I got tween pads. She told my sister, grandma and dad (awks) but yeah and in July we went to a lake and I was on my period but secretly before when I went shopping to get pads I bought a box of tampons just incase yenno so I was rushing but I managed to get it in correctly so I was happy :) and I’m currently on it rn and I remember wanting my period bc it seemed cool and bc I would become a woman but ugh I hate it now and wish I got it later :( so that’s my first period story :) thanks for reading if you do!

Jan 9, 2015

I woke up in the morning really exited because I was going to my friends house, so I woke up and went into my mums room for a while and when I woke up again I kinda was just walking around the house when I sneezed, I thought it was like discharge so went to the bathroom to wipe it because ew, anyway, on my underwear there was a brown spot and when I wiped it was brown, I don’t really know if was my period or not, please help !!

May 2014

not even cool

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

May 24, 2014
😁

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.

1st day of school

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

May 23, 2014

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!)

May 22, 2014

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.

At School

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 ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Today

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.

Awkwardness

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

May 20, 2014
Walking home

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!!!”.

May 20, 2014
CHECKOUT

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

:)

I Literaly got it last night.

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.

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.

My First Period

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~

My first period.

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.

Surprise before school

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.

Late Bloomer

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.

Suprising

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.

What's happening

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.

Why now

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

May 12, 2014

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.
