Predicted But Not
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!:/

Ironic. Like really ironic
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! 😂

Paint Splatters that Mattered
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!!!!

I’m 12, Feb 18th….. the day of doom
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 ! ;)

the period…
i was 11
me and my bestie were having a nice day together at my house, watching movies and etc, My stomach started having SHARP pains but i ignored hoping it to go away. my friend suggested we go to the park, i agreed, not wanting to dissapoint her. we got to the park and she was climbing here, swinging there but i was just standing there, i didnt know why but i didnt want to move. around 15 minutes later i lied that i was cold so we wen inside. We went to the kitchen and by this time i felt like crying it hurt so bad. me and my friends decided to make lip balm and stuff. At some point i wanted to curl into a ball so i excused myself to go to the bathroom. I went in and just sat down on the toilet lid in agony. i went to the loo and looked down, there it was, a BIG RED BLOB OF BLOOD. i screamed, literally SCREAMED and my friend rushed to the door, she knocked on it loudly and asked if i was ok, i asked her not to come in and i told her about it, she ran away and 5 seconds later slipped a green pouch under the door…

Am I getting my period?
So earlier today I had terrible cramps and it hurt so much that I couldn’t move and now I just went pee and there was a pale-ish spot of dried blood on my undies. It’s really pale, it’s not like my older sister’s regular flow or anything. So I want to know: Am I getting my period or is it just something else?

vacation=ruined
So I got my first period on vacation, during the summer. Sounds better than at school, right? Wrong. We were staying in the Ritz in the Caribbean, one of the best places to go swimming. Once I figured that I had gotten my period, I rushed to my mom, who only had the super-huge tampons and no pads. The tampon didn’t fit, however and from the sixth floor all the way to the beach and back, it was only half in me. When I finally got back, and into the bathroom, the tampon fell out. My mom was in the town, buying pads, so I sat on the toilet for roughly half an hour, waiting. When she finally came back, I was so happy. The second day, I had a small tampon, and we were walking in the town. After fiveish hours, I needed to go pee, so I want to the bathroom. I had bleed through my tampon and swim suit (which was pink, thank god it didn’t look too bad). We rushed back to our hotel and for the rest of the week I didn’t sit on anything white, especially when I was in a wet bathing suit.
