Becoming a big girl
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

Embarrasement and Confusion
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.

My First Period
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 ;)

First Period Today
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.

My 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.

Five minutes ago, my trauma ended, whoop!
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 :)

hmm…
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. :)

A Real Period?
I am not the best story teller so don’t blame me!!
When I was 11 April 3rd, I was doing my HW. Then my mother told me to go bathe. So before I bathe I peed. When I went to wipe, BOOM! I saw on my pantie brown and red. I thought, “Oh gosh, (I am a Christian and will not use God’s name in vain) I just had my period didn’t I?” I didn’t know if it was real or not. I didn’t even know when I got it! I do remember talking to my friend about boys, but really. If you didn’t have your period yet, don’t expect red Niagara Falls!! I had it light, it took up most of my pantie though. Sometimes you will never know when you have it. I had started to get discharge in Nov. and when i did the calculation, I will have my period in April!! It was April! So i was so angry, I mean I needed to know more!!!
