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! 😂
