i just added this comment yesterday and u said it was my period but i got it once on wednesday and once yesterday and not since is it my period?
Question:
i think i just got my period it's a light brown and its a patch about four inches long and 1 inch wide and its dark enough to show through my white underwear is it my period??? also i think last night it was the first time, but that was a light brown more in the back of my underwear in loooots of spots clumped together... is it my period????




Hey babe,

I remember your question Smile Our periods are known for being irregular and kinda mysterious sometimes, especially when they first start! So this still sounds like your period - it just sounds like you might not get a full on, heavy, red period until next month (or even the month after). But still, like I said yesterday, be prepared with pads wherever you go so it doesn't catch you off guard. It's possible for it to come on full-force now, since it started a lil bit this week!

Hey girlie,

Sounds like your period! Periods usually start off lighter/browner and then get heavier and redder as the days pass, then back to lighter and browner/pinker before they stop for the month. Start using those pads and pantyliners babe!

Mod,mod,mod,mod!!!!!!!!!I just got my period a few months ago and it's been pretty irregular.I start at the worst places.I've tried being prepared with pantiliners but that doesn't help the total embarrassment.please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hey girl! If you are having trouble knowing when you are going to get your period try keeping a calendar and mark the days that you get your period. This should help you figure out the pattern to your cycle. If things don't seem to get better, you can use the calendar and go to the doctor to show them whats up.

I am 13 and haven't started my period. I sleep with my parents when I can't fall asleep. Do you think that will stop when I start my period? I hope so!

I get white stuff in my panties but that's all nothing has happened I also have had tiny red spots in my undies. I have got that twice is this telling me my period is coming? Is the white stuff discharge ?




Hey girl.

It sounds to me like you could definitely be ready to get your period. The white stuff is most likely discharge. But then again, I'm no expert. Maybe you want to check with your doctor to confirm!

I haven't gotten my period yet and I'm terrified. I love swimming and all of that stuff, but i dont want to wear a tampon. Do they hurt? i really want to know so when i get it i can still go swimming.




Hey! tampons are great. I't tough to learn how to insert them at first but once you get the hang of it they make life so much easier. i recommend learning as soon as you can. good luck!

Hey girl. There should be signs before your period like more discharge or cramps, but if there isn't wear a pantyliner and keep a pad or tampon in your bag.

MOD okay so when i get my period, i get reeaaallllyyy bad cramps and an upset stomach. so bad that i had to be taken out of school several times. i take advil and tylenol but somtimes thats not enough, advice? thanks!




Hey girlie,

You could try Tylenol Extra Strength or a specialized "period formula" like Pamprin or Midol. Still, some girls experience bad cramps that won't respond to over-the-counter medications (or medicines that are available without a prescription). If these pills, heating pads/hot water bottles, and rest doesn't do the trick for you, try asking your doc for help. There are more serious pain medications that can be prescribed by a doctor and can really help girls in this situation!

I am **  and I think i got my period ONCE about a year ago. I've had a lot of the symptoms for a few years. Discharge, sleeping problems, etc. Also, I've been really stressed for a while. Is there something wrong? Also, I live with my dad, so its hard to talk to him and I don't like doctors... Any advice?




Hey babe! You should really talk to your doctor about this, don't be afraid. They have listened to much more serious problems. I'm sure everything is fine, but it's nice to get it all checked out. You may just be a late bloomer, which is totally fine. xoxo
