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.
