I am 12 years old in 7th grade. I was at school today and went to use the restroom and there was reddish brown in my underwear I dismissed it not thinking much of it and then it kept happening. I told my friend about it because I wasn’t having any cramps and she said she didn’t have cramp with her first period do I immediately told my mom and sister
My 1st period came the day i was talking to my best friend, telling her i was left out because i didnt have it! I was in the toilet and i wiped and saw red again and again so i ran down to my mum and she gave me a pad and we went for a drive to talk. I called my best friend and she thought i was lying. I have had my period 5-6 now and i love it, although it is sometimes uncomfortable, i find it very cleansing.
ok so i am on my 2nd period right now and i got my period a month from today on july 26th 2015 so im gonna tell you all about it!
ok so like 4 days before i got my period i was getting very light cramps and i was imagining this is what the light cramps you get before your period feel like so i was thinking maybe im gonna get my period soon but i didnt want it expeccially because i would be the first one out of my friends to get it.. so i didnt really think about it but i still had the light cramps but also my boobs were very tender and when someone would hug me i would say ow and i was getting very minor headaches and i was getting food cravings for food i dont even like but at the time i didnt know these were signs of getting your period so on a monday my brother and i were on this ride kinda thing about niagara falls and it rains on you in it and i felt myself like dribble in my pants a little bit which i thought was just pee at first! but when i got home i went to go pee and when i pull down my pants there was brown stuff in my underwear and it was just like how blood would look but brown but at first i thhought i pooped myslef but then im thinking what about those cramps i was getting.. am i on my period? so then i turn the other side and i look and it soaked through the other side and its the same amount and as much colour as it was where my actual vagina sits lol so then im thinking poo doesnt do that so then i smell it and it didnt smell like poo it smelled like a very light smell and not very strong so i threw them in the garbage and looked up signs of getting yoyr period and all of the signs i realized ive gotten all of them this past week and i also have pubic hair and they said its normal to start brown so then i thought omg i just got my period! but i wasnt 100% sure so i didnt tell my mom and i was kinda thinking about it the whole rest of the evening and night and then it was like 10:30 and i was thinking oh ya i need to have a shower tonight so i went upstairs getting ready for my shower but first i had to go pee so i was checking in my pee to see if any blood would be there and at the very end there was like 4 little drops of blood in the toilet and even though i was expecting it i was shocked and when i went to wipe there was blood on the toilet paper and everytime i wiped there was blood and i just started crying and crying and i was like balling in the shower because i was thinking how am i gonna tell my friends and i cznt just go around not telling them because when i do stuff like that i feel guilty because of my anxiety and also i saw a little blood clot on the bathroom floor as well when i was in the shower so once i got out of the shower i was still and upset but not crying as much and my mom came upstairs and shes like im going to bed now and im like wait because i knew i had to tell her but i was about to cry any second my voice was cracking so i went on my notes on my phone and i wrote i have to tell you something and she said what and i said something happened and she said what u can tell me and then i wrote blood and then she understood but i had my phone covering my face and she asked am i upset about it and then i cracked and started balling again and i was crying for a while and then i had to put on a liner becaue she didnt have pads that were for like tweens only adult ones so the next morning she got me pads and then took me shopping!:) and ten i got the brown stuff the day after and the day after that it was bright red blood and quite alot this time! so thats my story and btw this was the summer of going into grade 7 and it still is bc this is my second month getting it and im fine now!!
Ok well, I was in grade 3 when I first got mine, my friend was sleeping over my house and I was getting in the shower when I noticed blood on my underwear, my mum and I had talked about what to do plenty of times before so I didn’t really freak out too much. So anyways, I called out to my friend and told her that I had cut my foot and asked her if she could go and get my mum but that was just a cover up. My mum came and I told her that I just got my period and she was like ok here’s a pad and showed me how to put it on. After that, my friend didn’t notice or ask so I was pretty much good. It was really awkward for me though because I was only like 9 and none of my friends talked about them or had had theirs before so I was really embarrassed and told no one. And still to this day (I’m 14 and in grade 8) I haven’t been able to openly talk about it with my friends and even my best friend, and I feel guilty because she instantly told me about hers and treated it like no big deal but I’m still too embarrassed to tell her.
So I had brown discharge for a while and I was scared af that my period would be right around the corner. But it wasn’t, till a month or so there was more discharge, and then I wipe and there’s blood.. I was panicing in my head saying “OMG this can’t be really, this is just some more discharge just a little red…”. So I decided to keep it hiden from my mom. I search up in Google, how to tell my mom I just had my period and all that stuff on periods, and I just get more and more sad. It’s now been 4 days since I had my period and I still hadn’t told my mom till the 4th day when she comes out and says that we are having a surprise vacation and I was just like “OH NO” in my head. So we start to pack and I sneak in one of her pads and I took it and put it in my underwear.. I took a quick shower cause I heard that kinda stops ur period(FYI it actually does) so my period on the road was basically really light for the 9 hour drive. But as soon as we get to the hotel it starts again and it’s really heavy! It seeps threw my underwear and is starting to get on my pants and I just start balling in the bathroom. I finally come out and I start to follow my mom everywhere till she started to unpack her pads. And then in my head I kept saying “THIS IS UR CHANCE” so I finally stop her in the most whinny voice (because I was so embarrassed and I was on the edge of crying) I start to say “Mom *points to the pads*. My mom was really supported and hugged me and said here go in the bathroom and change. Then the next day she ask if I had a heavy or light flow, and then we got pads.. I’m so glad I told her tho.. (I was 12… )
So today I got it. I’m 12 btw, and a couple years ago I had this puberty class thing so I knew all about it. My mom had also given me some pads a little while ago, so I was prepared but I wasn’t really expecting to get it. This morning/around noon I went with my dad and bro to play tennis, but that was pretty much all I had to do today besides some chores around the house. Lucky me, at least I wasn’t at school or a party or something. (I was kind of hoping id get it this summer just so I wouldn’t have to deal with worrying about an accident at school) A while after I got back from tennis, I went to the bathroom and saw a patch of brown stuff, with a hint of red. I’ve had discharge before, and I know about spotting, so I wasn’t sure if it was my period or something else. I know pretty much what it is and how it works and what to do, I just didn’t know if I’d actually gotten it.
After that i changed underwear and figured out how to put a pad on. I spent basically the whole day looking on the Internet and trying to figure out if I got my period or not which is how I found this blog.
An hour after putting the pad on (I set a timer bc I really wanted to know) I checked again and there wasn’t any blood or brown stuff, just a faint hint of red/clear. That made me less sure if I got it but I decided to wait longer.
After dinner I checked one more time and a similar colored blob was in my underwear so I decided to tell my mom, even if it wasn’t.
I texted her and told her the whole story and everything she might want to know, with as little detail as possible, making sure she knew I didn’t know if it actually was my period. That way, I could phrase it like a question. I was wayy too scared and way too awkward to tell her in person, and I knew she would come talk to me but I tried to give her as little to talk about as possible.
She texted me that I probably got it, and then came to talk to me about how I was growing up and she was happy for me and blah blah blah. It was incredibly awkward and she talked about what she usually does, and how heavy the flow could be and cramps and everything and what I should do. She mentioned that now if i had sex I could get pregnant #extremelyawkward but I was relieved once it was over and glad I told her.
That was only like 10 minutes ago and I’m so glad it happened the way it did, I’ve read a few horrifying first period stories and mine was pretty much the best I could ask for. Even if it was a day of stressing out over nothing and a reallyyyy awkward talk with my mom, I’m glad the anticipation is over.
The funny thing is yesterday I was with my friend, and I btw I have basically two groups of friends, even if some of them know each other. The first is from school and we would never talk about stuff like this but the second is a group of girls a little older than me (im the youngest and the oldest is 15) anyways she was telling me how she and everyone else in that group had already gotten it, and i told her nope I still haven’t. But now I have bahaha.
Tbh I don’t really know what to expect for the next few days of my period, hopefully there won’t be tooooooo much blood.
WOW I wrote a lot. Sorry for wasting your time if anyone’s reading this lol. I was just kinda getting it off my chest since I’m not telling my mom details and my friends would be like tmi.
So far, my first periods been okay I guess.
December 6th, 2013- somehow during a birthday party for my friend, we all were sitting in her room and first period stories began spilling. Around the circle, all of then shared and despite me assuming I was so much more mature than my friends, I was the only one at that party without mine. When the circle got to me, akward silence ensued, and I’m not quite sure how I eventually brushed over it.
Since the first time my mother had ever told me about periods (I was 7, my sister was 11, and she randomly told us in a strict impatient voice that when we got older we would bleed once a month, and it was nice of her to tell us that so we would wake up and think we were dying like she did.) Despite getting the impression, they were bad, a new event happened- one of my sisters friends started, which launched the other mothers (including mine) to talk to their daughters. Unfortunately, I was left out of this. Jealousy took over around age nine, as my sister started at the ripe old age of 12 & ¾. My sister dragged out the emotions constantly so her and my mom could leave any situation whenever and enjoy late night ice cream several nights a week (my parents were in the middle of a rough divorce, and it made me feel extremely unloved when they left me upstairs with my dad.
Thus, I began praying for my period to come for a solid two years, just to get the attention I thought I deserved. Finally, I realize periods weren’t fun, and I stopped the prayers. When I did finally get my period at school, it was December 10th, 5 days after my 13th birthday, and 4 days after that embarrassing sleepover. I came home, waited three hours to work up the courage, and told my mom. She gave me a high five and then found one of my sisters heavy flow pads. Later that night, we whet to Walgreens and in one of my most embarrassing memories, bought pads. I had no supplies because when I had asked my mom for some the week before, she laughed at me and brushed it off to avoid to conversation. I was partially annoyed that I had to change the toilet paper in my underwear after every class, but still happy that I had a story because for the first time in a while, that sleepover had made me feel inadequacy. I also still feel a certain inadequacy from my family because my mom and sister still leave me with my dad because my sister is annoyed with him, and my mom to this day has never actually sat down with me and talked about periods, bras, or sex. Any time I ask my mom to buy me more pads or tampons, she leaves them on the dryer and says in a low voice, “the items you requested are on the dryer”. It’s so stupid I sometimes laugh. My moms solution is to sometimes bring up something like, “woah, look at that white dress. Wouldn’t it suck to get your period while wearing that?!” Loudly in public. So it gets me excited to see more people trying to make periods more of a normal topic, because in my family, that isn’t going to happen.
This is how my first period started.
So about an hour ago I was talking to my friend about periods lol Idek why.. And little did I know I got it like 30 minutes ago.
I have been getting brown..yellowish discharge every month since June. It’s August now! And I finally got my period today. Every month since then I would get the brown discharge for like 3-5 days.
I got that today! I was having brown stuff yesterday (Sunday) too and didn’t think anything about it cause nothing happened the past 2 months..
I felt sort of wet down there a little bit ago and figured it was just that brown stuff. I wanted to make sure though. It was actually red this time. I used some baby wipes. My mom was actually on her period too so there were pads! She’s 35 btw and I’m 12 lol. So I put one on and sure enough I had my period! She was at work, but I texted her and told her what happened and she said “congrats!” I was like thanks! Lol
GOOD LUCK. It’s not so bad!!
So its July 29 2015
I just hot it i was wearing some white shorts arounds the house. It was like 1.00 am i had to go pee and i felt some discharge before i just thought it was discharge though. So i looked down and i see this huge brown spot. I knew what a period was of course but i just thought it was poop. When i wiped there was read on the toilet paper so i yelled for my mom who was sleeping and she got up and i said i stared my period she gave me a pad and I’m making this right now. Oh and I’m 12 your lucky if you get it later less years you have to have your period for.
So basically I would say I’m pretty lucky because I got my period just a few days ago and it was during summer, and I was 13. I was kind of expecting my period for a few months now, and alot of my friends already got it and have been suffering from it. So basically I woke up and my underwear was feeling quite wet and I thought it was just discharge so I ignored the feeling. I was playing on my phone so I decided to use the washroom and check because it was feeling extremely wet. And yep there it was. The weird thing is, i only got cramps twice before my period and so far I’ve had no cramps at all:) i guess I’m just lucky. I used my moms pad and still didn’t tell her about it. Idk I’m just scared to tell her and I’m pretty sure ill tell her the next time I get it.
Hi,
I’m 13 years old. I just got my first period yester had been wearing liners for a week, because of discharge but that morning I was like, nah, it won’t come why waste a panty liner?
It was 10:30 in the morning. I was at my grandmas in the countryside. I only had two pads and another 24 hours.
I had cramps all morning but for once was conviced that it was my stomach, not my uterus. I was obsessed with getting my period for over 4 years.
So I had done really piles of research and these scam quizzes “When will I get my first period?” Which that same morning said in one year, and I was conviced I was ready.
I went up to pee, and saw a big, brown spot on my underwear. I was in denial. I was happy, I couldn’t lead myself to believe it. But I got up, took a pad from my bag, went, texted my mom, who was, by the way, very happy, and told my grandma who went to a friend to a so for pads.
Ok so I had just got off the bus after a long day at school and I walked inside and talked to my dad and little brother about my day. Then I went to the toilet and write after I had done my business, I saw this big pile o bloody gloop come out of my vagina. At first I thought it was poo, but Ji wiped my bum and it was thick dark blood. It didn’t hurt at all. I guess I was really lucky. I told my sister first and then my mum. I was ashamed and a bit embarrassed to tell my mum but hey, she will give you the best advice and make you feel comfortable. After that I told my friends and they got so excited.
Best of luck when your time comes
So I got my first period yesterday. I was sleeping, you know, its like summer and its 9ish or 10ish AM. I was planning on sleeping till like 11 or something when i woke up. Why? I felt like my panties were soaked. And i mean SOAKED. So then i was like oh crap. crap. crap. crap crap. First i thought i peed in my sleep, and then i thought i pooped in them (lol). But when i felt the matress around me, it was dry. And then somehow, I thought my sister did it (she’s 8 and sleeps with me sometimes). But then i was like naaaahhh. So i put my hand under the blanket and felt my crotch area from the outside. Slightly Wet. I got up a little, and looked at my panties (thank god my sister was still asleep). I thought i really did poo in them because i was wearing a white zebra striped undies and my blanket was a dark shade so it made it look like poop. And then, when i adjusted my head a little, i saw blood.Then i was like shit. I went to the bathroom and realized i did get my period. I went to my parents rooom and thankfully, my dad was downstairs in the kitchen. My mom was talking on the phone to someone and had just hung up and was about to call someone else but i was like wait. And then, I whispered, so softly, “i think i got my period”. After that she bombarded me with questions (how do you know, really, omg) and she was really excited. By then my sister had woken up and she thought i was supposed to get it when i was 16. So my mom gave me a pad and yeah. This is my second day. The first day wasn’t that bad, I didnt have any cramps at all, but today I’m kind slightly dying on the inside. Oh, and it sucks cause i have a Very heavy flow. Every time i pee and i wipe, SO much blood comes, its scary. Today my parents are both are at work, and my sister wanted to be my “Chop Chop” which apparently means i can tell her to do something and she’ll do it. So yeah. Im 12, almost 13 btw. Periods Suck.
okay, so I woke up about 30 minutes ago, about 6:20 am. I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, I saw blood. I couldn’t believe it, but I knew it was coming because I’m almost 15, and my mom and sister both got theirs before they were 14. I had really bad cramps the other day, and yesterday there was discharge. I also recently had a growth spurt I’m so glad I’m staying with my mom for the summer. (I go back to my dad’s tomorrow) I have pads at my dads house, but none here bease my mom used tampons, and I’m a ‘late bloomer’ as my doctors say, so I’m a bit late for everything. I’m literally the LAST one out of my friends to get it.
i got my period at it sux the end.👏🏼
Okay so I was in school and all of a sudden I felt really sick so I went to the bathroom to pee and when I looked at my underwear they were covers in blood so we’re my legs when I went back to class I told my friend and asked her for a pad but she said she didn’t have any so we both went up to my teacher and asked ( she came with me so nobody would know what happened) she said wait a minute and then came down to my desk and gave me two pads so I went into the bathroom and changed into it it was really embarrassing but my teacher understood
So I’m 13, and I wasn’t expecting to get my period yet as my whole family were very late bloomers. I was on holiday in Hawaii, and we (my parents and I, I’m an only child) rented a car so that we could drive around the island. We picked up breakfast at a McDonalds, and I went to the bathroom. I didn’t notice anything unusual, until I turned around and the toilet bowl was red! I just about jumped a mile in the air and I stood there staring for over a minute! Just as I was about to put loo paper in my undies, it ran out! I finished in the bathroom and headed out to where my parents were waiting. I was so embarrassed, and I didn’t want to tell my dad. As we were walking out I whispered to my mum that I needed to talk to her, and I told her I was bleeding. She thought I had constipation, but I told her my suspicion, and she agreed with me. We stopped at a drugstore in the next town and i stocked up, it was so embarrassing buying them though! We were in the car for eight hours, and I had bad cramps the whole time. It was one of the most uncomfortable days of my life!
I thought a period was called a period because it would make a tiny red dot your underwear. But then my period actually came. It was more of a shapeless red blob.
About a month before I got my first period I had dark brown discharge for about a week. There was no blood so I knew it wasn’t my period. A month later, I got the brown discharge again. I wiped and there was brown discharge with a hint of blood. I wiped again and I saw bright red blood. There was nothing on my underwear only when I wiped. BTW this was at my house. My sister who already got her period was in the next room so I screamed at her to come to the bathroom and she saw. She was a little excited and since she already got her period we had pads. I put one of her pads on. My sister told my mom and my mom didn’t seem to care or my dad. I was 12 years old and it was onMay 22nd.
So I’m 12. And pretty much what happens is is I was watching hp the chamber of secrets, ya know being the huge fan I am.. And after it’s finished at like 11:10 I walk to the bathroom so I can go before I go I bed. And mind you, this was the day I was taking quizzes to see when I would get my period quite the surprise to me that when I look down there’s a couple drops of blood sitting at the crotch. I freaked out though because when I wiped only a slight little pinkness came off and then there was nothing. So now I’m sitting here the next day and I slept through it with a pad I stole from my mom at her apartment and there is nothing on it except a little yellowish/brown discharge..it was probably just spotting and I’ll get the real deal soon but…idk.
Okay so I just started it today on June 2nd 2015.I’m 13 years old and I knew it was coming soon, but didn’t know when. I woke up in the morning changed and put on some pantie liners for discharge and stuff like that. I than go to put some make up on, and I sit on the floor in a weird position. Than I felt it. I wanted to finish my makeup though, even I knew what was going on, after that I go to the bathroom and check, yep! But it did soak through my leggings, and I had to wear the pants I wore yesterday. I still don’t know a lot of things, that I would know, but oh well, I than call my mom and she tells me if its larger than a quarter than yes. And it was, then I call my best friend and she jumped around and stuff. Once I got to school, I told another best friend and she jumped too.
So i just got my first period and im 11 in 6th grade. so i kinda wasnt expecting it because my grandma, mom, aunt, and 2 cousins all got it at 12. i started reasearching periods around the time of december (thats how i found this great tumblr) and i was so prepaired for it, i knew everything about them and what to do when you get them in public and stuff. I read in almost all of these entry’s that their first one looks like poop. but i wasnt expecting this to look like poop sooo much. ok sorry im boring you with the details so im just gonna tell the story.
Ok so on monday i started to feel sick (my dad had been sick since last wensday so i prob caught it from him) on Tuesday i said home. and i stayed home for the rest of the week. so now its friday and i feel so much better but for some reason my stomatch was hurting. i just thought it was part of the cold that i had so i thought nothing of it. i was doing my homework and i relized that i had to use the bathroom. every time that i use the bathroom i would always check for my period but it was never there just discharge. so i get up to flush and get i mini heart attach. i saw dried brown stuff all over my undies. my first thought was “i just got my period, ” but then i thought “but thats not red its so brown,” i remembered people saying on this tumblr that they thought they pooped themselves but i didnt think it would altually look like poop. so im just like “ eww i pooped myself” for some reason when i was sick, i was scared to poop so i thought it was just that. so i finish up in the bathroom, run upstairs and change my undies. i then think that it must be my period cuz i think i would know if i pooped myslef. i did alot of reasearch on it and in fact some of our first periods look like poop skid marks ( thats exactly what it looked like) so i go back into the bathroom and wipe down there and there is “brown blood” on the toilet paper, and that happened every time that i wiped myself today. so im like ok i guess i started my period. i expected it to be like really bad, a huge red blood splat rite in the middle of my undies and it would be dripping all over the place but no, it just looks like poop. i havent told my mom yet cuz i want to make sure that its my period, im gonna wait till its red. tonite im going to wear one of the pads that my mom got me just incase, for bed tonite. so that was my story its not so bad.
P.S sorry that was long and it wasnt even that interesting. Bye goodluck
So aunt flo came at the very worst time. So, i was wearing all white for my softball uniform. We had a tournament that day and my.day started at 5 am and ended at 9pm. All morning i was having cramps and i felt sick. I didnt tell any one because i really wanted to play. At my rhird game ( we had six) i felt a little wet. At first i thought it was sweat but then i saw people looking at me and looking around my stomach. At first i didnt know what they were looking at. But then my team mates started acting strange around me. After the game my mom told me what was happening. I was really embarrassed. She ran to sports authority and bought me tampons and new.white pants. It was the worst. But no one talks about it any more so.its ok.
P.s i was 14
Oh my gosh…I am 13 years old and just barely like 5 minutes ago went to the bathroom to see…BLOOD!!!
Oh my, I woke up and it is 2:00 A.M. and I thought I had peed my pants…I was embarrassed!!! I quietly got up trying not to wake up my dad as I walked down the hall and I felt something running down my leg…I know that sounds disgusting but when I got into the bathroom I saw that it was RED!!! I was scared, and honestly started crying… I pulled off my shorts and panties and my panties were drenched in blood, and it leaked all over my shorts… I should’ve been expecting this but, I really wasn’t, I am the only girl in my family and my parents are divorced and I live with my dad and he had never bought me any thing, no tampons, panty liners, or pads… So, I grabbed some baby wipes and wiped everything of and to be honest, I don’t really know where my vagina is… Anyway I searched it up and found this and thought that I should at least tell someone right now cause I don’t want to wake up my dad. Um it is very heavy and all of a sudden came, I didn’t notice anything different in previous days and I don’t have much pubic hair so I didn’t think I would get it for a while, but this is really the first sign of puberty beside my boobs and nipples hurting a little… But please help me!!! I don’t want to ask my dad, it will be awkward, and I don’t have a big sister to ask, sooo I feel like I’m pretty much screwed. Put if you have advice let me know!!!
I got home from soccer and at around 10:00 Pm I went into the bathroom and saw some brownish sticky stuff but I just though it was discharge. The next morning I woke up and there was a little more but not really but decided to change my underwear but I didn’t even think it was my period so I didn’t put a pad on. I then went to school and I was in art class ( 3rd period so it was not even lunch time yet) when I got up to grab some paint brushes. I was wearing these neon green athletic shorts when a girl came behind me and told be I had blood all over my shorts. I completey FREAKED out even though I was expecting it to come soon. I didn’t have anything with me at that time only at home so since I had a longer shirt I pulled it down. I felt really awkward the rest of the day but at around 7th period I went into the bathroom and there was blood everywhere and had completey leaked through my panties and shorts. I wiped andore blood just covered the toilet paper. Since I only had 2 more periods until I could go home I decided not to tell any of my friends since I was just to embarrassed to literally do anything. I got home changed and had supplies with me so it wasn’t all that bad. I told my mom but was still embarrassed to go to school because ow thought more people might have known I leaked thorough my shorts. I was not prepared and really wish I was so bring extra supplies just incase! But don’t worry, you’ll get through it
So it was Monday morning and i woke up feeling a little sick.
I saw like browny yellow discharge with a tiny bit of blood, i wiped it away threw my underwear in the wash basket and thought nothing of it for the rest of the day.
I felt fine at school and came home with the same brown stuff so again i cleaned it and threw it in the wash.
Around 10.30 i was on my phone at night and my mum came in and told me off for being on it, after i went to the bathroom and looked down and saw a line of blood, I wiped and the toilet paper was covered with blood.
I ran to my parents room and showed my mother, she told me all about it showed me all the stuff and how to put on a pad.
Its really your choice but i used a tampon at first.
Its funny because me and my friend where talking about it the day before (sunday) and i told her how i don’t have it yet haha, little did i know i would get it the next day.
Btw I’m 12, and i didn’t think i would get it yet because I’m quite small for my age :)
Oh my gosh…I am 13 years old and just barely like 5 minutes ago went to the bathroom to see…BLOOD!!!
Oh my, I woke up and it is 2:00 A.M. and I thought I had peed my pants…I was embarrassed!!! I quietly got up trying not to wake up my dad as I walked down the hall and I felt something running down my leg…I know that sounds disgusting but when I got into the bathroom I saw that it was RED!!! I was scared, and honestly started crying… I pulled off my shorts and panties and my panties were drenched in blood, and it leaked all over my shorts… I should’ve been expecting this but, I really wasn’t, I am the only girl in my family and my parents are divorced and I live with my dad and he had never bought me any thing, no tampons, panty liners, or pads… So, I grabbed some baby wipes and wiped everything of and to be honest, I don’t really know where my vagina is… Anyway I searched it up and found this and thought that I should at least tell someone right now cause I don’t want to wake up my dad. Um it is very heavy and all of a sudden came, I didn’t notice anything different in previous days and I don’t have much pubic hair so I didn’t think I would get it for a while, but this is really the first sign of puberty beside my boobs and nipples hurting a little… But please help me!!! I don’t want to ask my dad, it will be awkward, and I don’t have a big sister to ask, sooo I feel like I’m pretty much screwed. Put if you have advice let me know!!!
Well I was coming back from school (I was 12) . I went to use the restroom and saw a brownish stain on my underwear(I was home alone), I already knew about periods and stuff . So I wasn’t freaking out .All I did was text my best friend on what to do, she said to get pads. Luckaly I had a near by store next to my house and an extra $5. After that I had to tell my parents when they come back (I live with my dad ) so it was awkward .
But he knew it was normal and told my to tell him if I need anything. so yeah that’s my story
one day, i decided to go take a shower. as i pulled down my undies, i saw a patch of brown. of course, because of the brown, i thought i just, um, shat in my pants. i ignored it, and hoped the stain wouldn’t be there the next day.
the next several days, it appeared, lessening each. time.
one of the final days, brown didn’t show up - red. but it wasn’t much, it was barely there. but i was sure it was red. VERY sure.
i was freaking out, and the next day, i consulted one of my closest friends, whose mom was a nurse, and had her period for about 6 months now. , she told me that it might be spotting, and that it’s sorta the, say, calm before the storm.
by this time, i knew i had to tell my mom. i told her, promptly holding up a stained liner and announcing to her - “uh, what’s this?” (even though i knew fully well what THAT was.)
she told me all about it, blah blah blah.
a few weeks later, red, who me and my friend joke about it being someone named “flo”, came.
from then on, i fucking hated my period
I just got my first period… well I hope have!
I’d had discharge quite heavy for about 5 days and then it stopped and now I have a bit of blood instead. Scary but I’m actually relieved!
I think the more you talk to your family (parents/guardians/mum/dad) about it the easier it gets to just say ‘Oh I’m on my period’, so just talk. It’s the best thing to do!
So this morning,I just came back from my holidays and as I came back at 1am today,and was really tired,I skipped school.I woke up at 7:43am and took my dog out for a walk.I was that girl who wanted to get her period so badly,I told my friends I got it, even though I hadn’t yet.Later on at around 12,I went to the bathroom and pulled down my undies to pee.As I look down at my undies, a massive patch of brownish-red fluid is sitting on the crotch of my undies.I started laughing because I was really excited but then started crying because I was scared.When I wiped, there was no red or brown, but light pink.I was really confused and my mum was talking with her friend in my room and I wanted to change my undies so I asked my mum if I can take a shower and she said yes.So I grabbed a pad from the cupboard and stuck it on my new undies and hid the dirty one so I could show my mum.Then I had a shower and put on my new clothes.Right now I’m sitting in the living room,writing this.It’s weird because she got her period when she was 17 and I’m sitting here at age 11,bleeding out of my private parts.
Well now I’m waiting for her to finish her chat,wish me luck guys. :*
Okay so I was at school and I’m in 5th grade (11) and I was with all my friends eating lunch.then all the suddenly I got all tingly and blood started flowing out.I was so confused. My mom never got me any supplies or showed me how to use them so yeah.I told most the others about it and almost every detail like stickiness itchiness and the whole process. I showed them my underwear(we were close)and they asked me if I had a pad. I said no and they started planning me one. JM had a ton so she gave me one and showed me how to put it on and unwrap it and every thing. I had no pads at home and have dance that night.We also have a big field trip on Thursday and we’re going swimming on Thursday that’s an adventure for sure
This morning was the most horrific morning I’ve ever had. When I woke up today around 8am, I felt really uncomfortable around near my knickers. I could feel wetness. At first I thought ‘Did I wet myself?!’ But when I checked my bed sheets, no wetness or signs were there. So I was really scared. I went to the toilet and pulled down my onesie, then my knickers. 'OMG’ I said to myself. There was this really dark brownish colour spreaded around my knickers. It coverd up the whole thing. I was scared because I thought it was diahhea but when I rolled up some tissue paper and wiped under, the whole tissue was covered in blood. My mouth was wide open and I was horrified. It was my period. I wasn’t even prepared for it. I always thought it comes when you turn 13 but no. So I knew what to do as me and my mum had a convo about it years ago, just so I knew what to do when I got it. I slipped one of my mums 'Always’ pads and put it on. I was really scared because my mum wasn’t at home, she was at work. Plus my dad was sleeping because he does night shifts so I was basically home alone. All day, every one hour I would change my pad. I must’ve used over 10 pads today. But I was getting really panicked so i texted my mum. My mum replied 1 hour later saying 'I’m so proud you remembered what to do. Just keep checking on it every now and then. If you get any stomach aches, head aches or any other pain, take the painkillers in my room’. After that text I felt so much better because I knew what to do. I also looked online for tips which really cooled me off. But what I find stange is that I didn’t get any pain today..when will I get it? Is it normal not to have any pain when your on it? Well that’s it guys, my first day on my period 😁 Good luck to the girls so who are preparing for it, make sure you do because I didn’t and it came unexpectedly

It was a Friday morning and I was getting ready for school. I got changed and then went to the toilet. When I pulled down my pants, I noticed a dark patch. I didn’t think anything of it so I did my business. But when I wiped my self, I noticed the tissue was a pinky-reddish colour. My first thought was, “Oh no!”. My mum was in the kitchen at the time (the bathroom and kitchen are next to each other) so I just came straight out with it. “Mum…I think I’ve started. The tissue is pinkish but I’m not sure” She told me put a pad in anyway and take some with me to school.
So I was in third period/Lesson (drama) and I could feel something wet down below. I asked my teacher if I could go to the toilet so I went and I took my bag with me, making the excuse that I didn’t trust the people in my class with my bag. I went into the cubicle and pulled my skirt and pants down and the pad was all red. I slowly peeled it off and wiped down below. The tissue was definitely red this time so I put another pad on and went back to class.
Later that day when I was going home, me and my friends stopped off at the park. We were all laughing, joking and messing around when I could feel a tingle in my vagina like something was dripping out. I took no notice and just carried on playing. When I got home, I went straight to the toilet and there it was again. So this time, I was sure it was my period.
If you’re reading this and you’ve just started or you’re worried about starting, don’t! It’s really nothing to worry about. My advice would be when it comes don’t panic! Just tell your mum or dad. Buy pads before you’ve started so you’re prepared. I think it’s easier to use pads when you first start but the really thick ones are quite uncomfortable so you will probably end up switching to tampons. If you start at school and you have nothing on you, bundle up a load of tissue temporarily and ask your friends if they have any pads. I’m sure they’ll understand as most of them may already be experiencing their periods. (Sorry this was kinda long but I hope this helps!)
So this is embarrassing.
I was 12 and we were practising for the end of year six assembly and I had to go to the bathroom. The girl next to me came with me cause she had to go too. So I was sitting on the toilet and as I already knew about periods and was expecting it anyway, I looked down and saw blood everywhere. I panicked and cleaned myself up and was convinced by myself I had cut myself with toilet paper, but I put some toilet paper in my undies and went back into the hall just in case . Luckily we only had ten mins left until we could go home.When I got home I ran to the toilet too check on things and sure enough, the blood had doubled. We had horse riding lessons after school so I was smart(ish) and changed my undies and put more toilet paper in my undies. Only after horse riding class I told my mum what happened ‘i cut my self on toilet paper’ she believed me and told me to wash up and go to bed. The next day was school and so I had to tell her. I was crying and scared so my mum told my twin sister to say she got hers three weeks before (she actually did get hers. I tried school that day but was mortified someone would find out so my mum took me home. This happened in November 2014
well, when i got my period[12 years], i had got a spider bite and so took a leave. i was playing on my laptop when i suddenly felt really wet. i went to the the bathroom to pee, when i found that my undies were completely brownish red stuff. i was really nervous then, but now i am totally fine. it is all nature.
IT was exactly 2 months and 3 days after my 13th birthday. It was at school and we had a free period since our teacher didn’t show up to class, so me and a few other girls were just talking. I felt a slight wetness, but shrugged it off thinking it was just extra discharge. We kept talking about music, then it shifted to truth or dare and ended up on the subject of periods. I felt really uneasy near my stomach but again just forgot about it. The bell rang and it was time for lunch so I got up to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. Instead I headed for the stall to wipe my underwear down so I wouldn’t feel the wetness. I pulled my skirt down and was sitting down and there it was lo and behold my period. It was a HUGE patch of brown-red stuff that was all gooey and clumped together and it covered the crotch of my undies. I wiped and saw blood. I wiped my underwear down, and rushed to class cursing myself for not bringing anything along with me. My friend understood what was happening and slipped a pad into my pocket and i rushed to the bathroom and changed into it.
I got picked up early and the next 5 days i had to follow the indian tradition of sitting down eating fatty foods and not doing anything. Worst thing EVER. So all u girls out there who just got it. Don’t freak out just be proud that ur a woman and you can expect some higher respect from family members. GOOOOOD LUCK! P.s the first year you get it, it might be irregular. I skipped mine for a month and got it regular so thank mother nature i was prepared. BAI
Hey guys 👋 it all started at my friends house, it was really awkward and I had no idea what to do! I didn’t tell my friend bcs things would just go really awkward. So I waited for my mum to come pick me up. My big sisister was in the front and she’s 15, but the most embarrassing thing is she had her period when she was 14 and I’m 12! I waited until we got home so I could get some privacy but I couldn’t build up the courage to tell my mum. I went to the toilet again and my underwear had red spots all over them! I threw them into the washing up basket and thought it would be the best way for my mum to find out. In the end we had a nice chat and told me it’s natural and so on, we’ve never been more closer to each other before!!! That’s my story xx
Okay we’ll it happend dyer school when I came home I was having stomach problems and I was like, I had too many cookies! :( so I kept going to the bathroom with no problems at all until I excised myself to use the bathroom AGAIN and I have had yellowish and white discharge but I thought I was literally peeing myself and was way too lazy to research. Anyways when I wiped I had blood.. FROM MY BUTT!? I was so scared I thought I was having diarrhea and was about to die cause it was a little more than usual so I calmed myself and I checked my front area and I knew it. It was my period. I tiptoed to my mom and got her away from my dad cause it’s awkward.. An I told her and she was the best help ever and she told me to take a bath and cool down and obviously she was prepared cause she gave me mini pads for smaller underwears and I felt comforted and I giggled at the fact that it wasn’t so bad. the next day was dreadful I was scared to use the toilet cause I dislike the sight of blood so I cried but I was comforted and that day I got to stay home cause of stomach pain. I hope you enjoyed my story :)
why can’t there be like a specific date set for a girl to get her period? that way she would be fckin prepared. Anyway. It was 2 months and like a week after my 13th birthday, and the day before i had noticed some brownish discharge but shrugged it off not thinking much about it. The next day I felt wetter than usual down “there” and got all skirmish but again just shrugged it off. I was talking to a friend about “that” and decided to go to the bathroom and wipe my undies down so it wouldn’t feel wierd. I went to the bathroom and lo and behold there it was, covering the full of my crotch and several clumps of gah never mind. I freaked out but my friend came to the rescue and understood what had happened and slipped me a pad. I went home early that day and had to go thru the tradition of indians when a girl gets her first period or “matures”. It wasn’t bad. I got candy and money so it was nice =D
So I got my first period on March 5, this year. I had gotten a brown mark in my underwear a month before(it wasn’t poo) and my mom had gotten hers at twelve, and I was getting emotional. But I totally wasn’t expecting it! I knew I would get it soon but was hardly prepared!
So my mom was signing my sisters up for soccer, she and they were gone. My dad was at work, and the only other person home was my sister. (We are homeschooled) so I went to the bathroom, and noticed nothing in my undies because they were black. But when I wiped, a thick gooey red blood covered the tp! So I put on a thick panty liner(the only thing I had) and ran downstairs and told my sister,shakily. I started crying as she called my mom to tell her. My mom was on her way home, and my sister had given me one of her pads to use.
It was all fine after that.
The weird thing is, I got cramps on the last day of my period!:/
So I’m 12. I got my period on the 5 of March 2015. I knew it would be coming soon, I had several of the signs and my mom got hers at 12, but it still came without much warning. The night before I had been on this exact tumblr reading the stories. So anyway it was like 12 pm (im homeschooled btw) and I was going to the bathroom. When I wiped Niagra Falls was all over the TP! (I was wearing black underwear so I couldn’t see the blood in them. It was a darker red, but still not brown. So I shakil went downstairs to tell my older sister(my mom was out signing my little sisters up for soccer) and she called my mom.
When my mom came home I had just stopped crying. My sister had given me one of her pads, and I went along the rest of the day. I was worrie because I had band that day and wondered if my bad would show through my jeans. It didn't😅. It lasted for six days, each day’s flow weight varying. On the last day I had terrible cramps. 😣
It was exciting, because I had wanted it for so long. But at the same time I felt like I didn’t want it and I wasn’t ready. I got it at the most common age, but I was expecting it at like 13-14 because my siste got hers a few months before she turned 14. Anyway, my 2nd would come in the next 1-2 weeks if I was regular yet, but I will have to see! I might not get it for another couple months even! 😂

My mom was really open about it but I’m a competitive swimmer. Right now Im on my 2nd one (6 months after my first -_-) and I dont want to put in a tampon eww and ouch :(
Also, Im afraid of going to the bathroom because there is so much dang blood ewwww :(((((
When I was 12 I got my first period. I was playing outside with all my friends until I had to use the bathroom. so Im using the bathroom I looked down getting Ready to whip myself and I see a little blood in my under wear didn’t think nothing of it so I whipped myself and all blood was on the tissue so I told my mom and she told me it was time to start using pads…..P.s. I was crying and embarrassed.
I stepped into the bathroom stall at school, going about my routine. Then I saw my undies. Their was bright red splatters that looked a lot like paint all over them. My mind drifted back to the discomfort I had had and the sharp pain in my side a few days ago. Then it hit me. I had just experienced my first period! I finished my business and then walked away like nothing had happened. I didn’t put a pad in or anything.
That night I contemplated whether had my period or if I had an infection. I decided that if the blood ruined three pairs of underwear, I would tell my mom. So I waited and watched. Sure enough, the next day and the day after, there was a lot of red splatters on my underpants.
Awhile back, my mom had given me a bag so that I could be prepared for when my period and the onslaught on puberty came. It had pads and acne wash and a scrubby. Everything I needed.
Twice I almost put a pad in. Twice I chickened out. So, finally, I decided to tell my mom.I was soo embarrassed, but she was super happy for me. She gave me a tutorial on how to use the supplies, which we already had, and asked if I had any questions.
So.. that’s my story.
Oh, and one last thing. Periods for girls can look totally different. Some girls’ first is just thick discharge, others is bright red paint platters like mine. Don’t worry about what you first perforations like. If you miss a couple within the first year or so that is totally normal. Also, I’d advise you to start out with pads, and graduate to tampons under a trusted adults guidance. And, not all girls have cramps and stuff. I don’t really. Just twinges in my belly. GOOD LUCK!!!!
Hey guys, it’s Amy n i m gonna tell u abt my period. Well on 18th Feb, i came home frm school n went to the bathroom where i found brownish red goo on my pants. I was shocked n told my mom. She predicted that i was gonna have my period in some hours. I already had supplies but i did not use them. The next day, i came home frm scool and as i was taking of my white plazo, i saw dry brown liquid on it. I was pretty sure this was periods. I told my mom n she congratulated me on it. As i m a woman now. I put on Always thin odorless pads. Well, it is funny that i did not feel anything just a lil itching. It’s not that bad! Anyways u have to be a mom one day ! ;)
Happy Periods! :)
