I was going to go out with my bff today, but i'm stuck at home, with a cold. I'm really bored and i think i've watched all the good shows on tv. All my friends are out shopping, so i cant call them over. Plus im really sick, and i think ive thrown up a total of 5 times since this morning. And my head hurts. I guess my questions are what can i do to pass the time and how do i stop throwing up (already took medecine, cant take anymore for a few hours)

Hey girl, try taking a nap, reading a book, chatting with friends, or surfing GL.com. I hope you feel better soon. xoxoxo

I'm on my period right now (tmi) and i feel really bad. My stomach hurts a lot, and so does everything else. Im not allowed to take medicine because my mom or dad isnt at home, so i dont know what to do. Also my period is really heavy, but it wasnt like this last time i had it. Help?

Hey girly, try a heating pad, a hot bath or shower, eating a banana or laying curled up on your side. Also, try giving mom or dad a call and explaining the situation, they might let you go ahead and take something or give you more ideas to stop the pain.

When i'm on my period (awkward) i feel like i'm wet 'down there' or i peed in my pants. ( is tyere any way to stop this feeling?) I also get these like 'clumps' mixed in with my period.( is that normal?) Also i just started my period this summer and school starting soon and im scared to change my pad there.

Hey! That's all perfectly normal, but it's always best to ask a doctor about any body questions. I would recommend tampons. They can be difficult to start, but you don't feel them at all once you learn to use them and they help you stay dry too. good luck!

I've been like super tired and bloated and crampy and my boobs are sore... I know I probably won't and I shouldn't be worried but I still am for some reason I feel like I know it's comin! So thanx again (:

okay so my mom just measured my boobs and they are 27 in underneath my boobs and 31 on my boobs!!!! I have a book and it says that's a D cup! I wear an A cup rite now and it's too small but not that small! What the heck????? And also I've had discharge for 1 year and a month and still no period!!! my mom got hers at 14 and I'm 13!!! Is my period comin soon? Also I feel bloated and I crave salt is that a sign???

thanx

Hey girl,

If you're super skinny, that might be right, but if you're not sure you should get measured by an expert at a bra store to be sure. If you're only 13, don't worry -- everyone gets her period at different ages, so don't compare yourself to your mom. You'll get it when the time is right! If you're craving salt, that's probably unrelated, so drink more fluids and stay hydrated!

Hey girlie,

There's no reason to be worried! No one can guess exactly when you'll get your period (not even your doctor), but you're progressing through puberty normally and I'm sure it'll start on time. Girls get their first period at all ages, on average between 11-14. You'll be fine, try to relax girl! <3

Mod I have been having discharge for around 2 years, is that normal? I really don't like my hair now, It used to be pin straight golden blonde. Now it's a brownish blonde color, frizzy, and wavy almost curly. I'm 5 foot 2 in and 86.7 lbs. My breasts are size 32 A. What other signs are there that my periodis coming? How can I prep for my period, We have no school nurse and I don't have a mom who lives with me. P.S. how can I pursuede my dad to let me dye my hair a lighter natural bonde color? My hair color is so boring and kind of ugly...!!

Hey girl,

All hair colors are different, and we can't control 'em, and I'm sure yours is beautiful! If you're set on changing your color, try getting just highlights or using a natural product like Sun-in. Discharge is normal, but if you're worried about your period, schedule an appointment with a doc! Doctors can tell you how to prepare and what's normal or not.

Well honestly theres no way for me to guess when youll get your period. But you have all the signs of it coming. I would prepare with pads and tampons and have them on you at all times just in case you get it soon. Which I definitely think will happen. xoxo kerra

today in gym i went in the bathroom stall to change into my gym clothes and i peed while i was in there and i realized i started my period. so i asked my gym teacher for a pad and she gave me one. (when i peed in gym tho there was red in my pee) and when i got home i changed my pad again and i peed but it was a normal yellow. is this normal? also, do i have to get up every 4 hours at night and change my pad so i wont be wearing it for 7-8 before i change it again? and one last thing, when im not on my period, should i be wearing a pantiliner everyday in case my period comes at a diff day next month than it did this month? and how long can you wear a pantiliner before you have to change it? thank you so much and sorry for tmi!

Hey girlie,

That's totally normal! You don't "pee" out your period - they both come from different places, so sometimes they could mix and sometimes it can be more yellow. Plus, throughout your period your flow will change - sometimes it'll be light, sometimes heavy. It's all completely normal! I use tampons now but, when I used pads, I tried to listen to my body and the way the pad felt. Sometimes you have to change it more often (aka when your period is heavy) but, sometimes, you can totally go 7 hours before changing it! You gotta try to figure out your flow so you catch it before the pad leaks. It sounds complicated, but you'll get the hang of it each time you get your period I definitely wouldn't wear a pantyliner every day during the month - talk about uncomfy! You can if it makes you feel better, but try to listen to your body. If you're starting to get cramps/feel emotional and you're due for your period, carry pads in your purse/backpack and go to the bathroom throughout the day to check up on it. Don't live in fear! <333

p.s sorry for tmi

Hey girlie,

Don't worry, we've heard it all You're definitely progressing normally through puberty and ready to get your period soon. It's hard to tell what those stomachaches could be - since you've mentioned that they happen when you're using the bathroom, it's possible that it's bowel cramps/gas and not period cramps. And like you said, we can't give you a definite "Your period is coming in __ months" guarantee. Neither can a doctor! But be confident that you're healthy, normal, and going to get it soon! Make sure you read up on period info so you're as prepared as possible

Hey girl,

It's possible! Our periods sometimes start pretty light and then grow heavier as the days pass, so it could very well be the start of your period

Hey girlie,

It's impossible to predict exactly when you'll get your period, but it sounds like you're on the right track towards it! You're progressing through puberty totally normally and should expect to get it soon. I promise you won't bleed through your pants on your first period - you'll notice if it feels wet way before it bleeds through, and you'll probably get cramps to warn you way before that

by JewellRian4 on 11/3/2011 5:26:17 PM

I'm 15 years old and i've had my period for 4 years. It depends on the person because when i get my period, i want to hit anyone who talks to me in the face with a shovel, i feel like im pregnant and all i eat is chocolate, and when i change my pad it looks like a crime scene...thats about it.

by ImJustMe96 on 10/29/2011 11:27:19 PM

Gah, it's not as bad as it seems. I had my first at 4H camp! So I was the awkward person going to the nurse "... I had my first period..." None of my 6 friends had pads!! Haha, now we all look back and laugh.

And your friuends can be a GREAT help. My friends were the only reason I got pads, I was to shy to face the nurse and say I needed some. They said they had a friend who needed some and the nurse gave them a bag to give to me Granted, I had to go back to get more, but still haha, they were nice enough to do that for me

MOD! MOD! MOD!
what if i have my period in the bath/ shower, or when im sleeping or whaen im in the car

Hey girl,

Of course your period won't stop just because you're doing one of these things! You can choose to wear a tampon in the shower to avoid any messes or, like a lot of girls do, you can just take a shower like normal and "go with the flow" with what happens. Some blood might come out, but you're in the shower - the water will wash it away and clean you. I know it sounds gross but you'll get used to it! As for sleeping, try wearing an overnight size pad if you're worried and change it immediately in the morning. Sometimes your flow is heavy and you might leak, so keeping a towel under you while you sleep can help. As for the car, if you're going on a long trip, make sure you use the bathroom before you leave and change your pad, then ask to stop at a rest stop a few hours in, then change it again as soon as you get there. You just have to be aware of the time!

I got my first period today during school. It was really embarassing and my (male) teacher (who doesn't like me) wouldn't let me go to the health teacher or even the nurse to get a pad. How can I better prepare and if I forget a pad..Who to go to?

Hey girlie,

Any teacher HAS to let you go to the bathroom/health teacher/or nurse if you tell them you're having a so-called 'lady problem' or 'girl emergency.' Yeah, it can be a bit embarrassing. But we've all done it plenty of times!

please help me! Two days ago I went to the bathroom to pee and when I cleaned myself there was a little bit of blood in the toilet paper. Since then every time I peed I felt a burn and when I cleaned up there was blood. Yesterday there was a little bit of blood in my pants but just like two days ago it was almost pink and very few and was just once. Since yesterday at lunch time there was never blood again. I didn´t had it if it wasn’t after pee. So I’m very confused. Is it my period that I never had before or is it blood in my urine?

Hey girl,

Since it burned when you peed before, it's probably worth asking a doc about these symptoms. It could be a urinary tract infection (UTI), it could be something else, it could be totally fine, and it could be some period spotting...but it's best to ask a professional to be sure

Can your doctor make a semi-accurate prediction when you will get your first period? My doctor said this school year and I've been freaking out about it (in a happy way lol)

Hey girlie,

He could definitely give you a range based on how much you've grown already (aka how far into puberty you are), but even your doc can't tell you for sure! So take his prediction and make sure you're prepared, but don't be too disappointed if it waits a lil while to get here

ABOUT 3 months ago I had a little blood while going to the bathroom but no blood in my underwear, then for about two days i would have tiny and i mean TINY dots, but nothing in my underwear. The same thing happened about a month ago. Is that my period? or just spotting?

Hey girlie,

Is the blood coming from the front or the back? Try to pay attention to that next time. Sometimes the "back" will bleed slightly from being irritated and it could trick ya into thinking it's your period. Usually though, if it is your period, it will last longer and become at least a lil bit heavier than this over a couple days. If you're concerned, don't be afraid to call your doc! They're professionals and have seen/heard everything - they'll be able to make you feel better

Hey babe,

If it feels kinda like gas (or that achy feeling you get before you have to use the restroom - sorry, a lil gross I know), that could be period cramps! But it could also be an allergic reaction to food, a stomach bug, or something else. If it keeps on going, try giving your doc a call just to make sure everything is ok!

MISS MODERATOR! Okay so I'm wondering if I a getting my period soon. I'm 12 years old (very petite but so is my grandma soo yah lol) My mom got her first period when she was in 7th or 8th grade and I am in 7th grade now. I've been growing boobs and pubic hair since I was 9 and I sort of have a lotttt of pubic hair now. I also have been getting cramps in my lower stomach and back. I've been getting a lot of vaginal discharge for 8 months now. I also have underarm hair that I have to shave. Also, I have been verrrryy moody recently and crying a lottt and I like never used to cry. Another thing is that recently just when I wake up, my boobs are tender and idk whyy. I thought maybe it's because I lay on my stomach when I sleep, but I've layed on my stomach my whole life and have been growing boobs for 3 years and that never happened to me before. Sorry this is so long, but I really need your help. Please answer!

Hey girlie,

You sound like you're totally healthy and right on track for your first period! Your tender boobs, mood swings, and especially the cramps are signs that it could definitely be on its way within the next week. Now, that doesn't mean you should start wearing pads in anticipation! But be prepared by carrying a pad with you in your bag wherever you go and stay alert to changes - like if your underwear feels wet like discharge and it keeps happening, it could be your period so be sure to make a stop at the restroom. Remember that there's no way to really predict when you'll get your first period so you might be waiting for a while, but these signs really do sound like it's coming soon

by ninabeanxoxo99 on 9/17/2011 10:12:14 PM

I had post a comment like that yesterday, but last night discharge came back. What that means? Is there anything wrong with me?

Hi there girly! If your discharge is yellow and has an odor, I would definitely recommend going to your doctor so that he/she can see what the issue is. It could be some type of bacteria like yeast, that is causing these symptoms. Your doctor will prescribe you medication to fix the problem...don't worry!

Hey chica! You can get your period as early as eight years old. Discharge before menstruation is normal, however, I would double check with your doctor to see if your discharge is normal. Also, ask he/she if they can predict if yours is coming soon.

Hey girly! Lots of girls wear tampons when they participate in sports or other activities. Sure, they can be scary at first, but once you get used to them, you'll see the appeal. And, they make special ones for both teens and sports!

Please help. Every time I've gotten my period I was surprised and it happens at the worst possible times! I never get any signs when it's coming, no cramps, PMS, and no weird cravings. This has been going on for almost a year and I'm sick of being surprised! Do you have any advice?

Hey girlie,

Grab a calendar and mark down the last time you got your period. (Circle the day with a red pen or write "P" in the corner of that day.) Then, count 28-32 days from that day. Of course periods are irregular and it might still surprise you, but this is generally the range when you should expect it. As a rule, keep a pad tucked in the bottom of your bag at ALL times - that way, even if it's way early or late, you won't be unprepared

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! my mom told me that soon i might have my period, but what if it happens during school? I have a boy teacher so what if i ask him if i can go to the nurses office? he'll ask why! what do i say from there? it will be awkward, but i heard a trick: Go into the bathroom and put a wad of toilet paper in your pants... but what if it falls out while im running? i know i'm asking a lot, but i just want to be prepared for anything!

dear moderador i need help, two days ago when i went to the bathroom and wiped there was blood but nothing in my underwear. i told my mom,used a pad and forgot about it.later before i went to bed i checked again and there was nothing in the pad or when i wiped. since then i have been having more dischare than usual and lower back pains.is this the begining of my period???

Hey girl, when this happens sometimes its called spotting. It might be the beginning of your period. You might want to wear a light liner just in case it is your period, and keep pads or tampons in your bag just in case.

so i got my period for the first time ten minutes ago. and i just want help with not acting moody. i didn't feel mood earlier today but now i think my mind is playing tricks on me and wants me to think i'm moody! help!

D thanks(:

hey! I do the exact same thing when I'm feeling moody, except when I feel sad and I don't know why I'll start tricking myself into thinking I'm sad for various reasons, even if I'm not...if that makes sense lol. Anyway my advice is to trust your instincts. If you don't think you're sad, then you're probably not. It's ok to be sad for no reason too. sometimes that happens. good luck!

hey so i mom and i were trying to disgust my older sis about periods and i was talking about that i might get my period soon from my cramps and lower back and my fatigue (which are actually true and i havent gotten my first period yet) and then she was like... you just want ur period so much that u think ur having cramps...ya know,sisters. so that got me thinking if thats true or not. is it? cuz idk if ireally want my period or if i dont want it at all untill im like 16. (im 12) sooo yah thank u so muchhh

Hey girl,

As most girls with their period would tell you, it's not something you really want. While sure, it's a sign you're growing up, it can also be a major inconvenience. But if you really are starting to have cramps, carry a pad with you just in case -- you'll be prepared, whether or not you're actually going to get it soon.

Hey girl, sounds like some definite spotting or you're close to your period. Wear a pantyliner just to be safe and let your mom know.

Hi so ummm here goes im just curious. im 5 feet 2 or 3in and about 100 pounds (is that underweight or overweight btw) and im going into 7th grade.i just turned 12 like a week and a half ago. i have little "buds" but i wouldnt exactly call them "boobs". i havent gotten my period yet but my oldest sister got hers at about 12 and a half yrs old and the middle sis (im the youngest) had hers at around 14 or 15. will i probably get my period between those ages? haha thanks and sorry that was reeaaally long.

Hey girlie, as long as you're eating healthy then you're a perfect weight! As far as your period, it's totally dependent on body type and genetics. Since you're on the thinner side, you might get it closer in age to your middle sister, but it's impossible to say for sure.

by WayCoolerThanYou on 8/6/2011 1:16:11 AM

@HannahRey Height has nothing to do with getting your period, but weight does. Your body needs a certain amount of body weight to start having a period. When I got mine for the first time, I was about 110 pounds or so (give or take a few).

by HannahRey on 8/4/2011 11:39:34 PM

I'm 15 and 3 months old and still havent gotten my period. I am scared that it will come at a very embarrassing moment but I know that I am prepared for it because of all the times I've talked to my mom and the amount of different sized pads I keep in my backpack. But the best thing of all is knowing how to just laugh about it along with everybody else. As long as you don't let yourself feel like a fool you won't look like one. One time I was on the trampoline and my pants ripped. I just stood there and when my friend asked what that noise was I told her with a straight face that it was my pants ripping. After that I didn't feel awkward anymore and we both belly laughed for like 10 minutes. ;)

If you get discharge everyday and are worried about it getting in your underwear, then you should wear the pantyliners everyday. x0x0

Mod!! Hi! Yesterday me and my mom went bra shopping and makeup shopping. I got 7 bras. One sports and acouple can come un-straped. ( is that enough, I'm only 12 ). We also got a little tin container with pantyliners inside. And then, I've been telling her I want real box of pantyliners. So without me knowing she got me a 120 pack of pantyliners! She told me I can't wear them everyday because its not good for me and I can only wear them if I get my period.? But can I wear them everyday? Or only like three times a week? Why can't I wear them everyday? Thanks bye.

Hey girl,

You only need to wear pantyliners if you think you're about to get your period, or if you're at the very end of it. There's no reason for you to wear them every day anyway. It's not that they're bad for you, they would just be uneccessary. x0x0

You don't have to make a big deal outta "revealing" to him that you have your period. Instead, just say something along the lines of what I already told you. He knows what pads are and will get the hint! Be casual about it - it's really not a big deal and it's a necessary purchase that you gotta make, so take a deep breath and do it!

MOD!!!!!!! Ok so I should get my period In a week or so, but my mom is out of town for 2 weeks, and I'm with my dad and have no pads and only pantyliners, which I soak up in 30 mins. WHAT SHOULD I DO ,?????? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

Hey girl,

You can do one of three things:

1) Go out with one of your besties and, while you're at her house or at the mall, make a pit-stop at the drugstore to buy some pads with your own money.

2) Walk to the store yourself and buy them.

3) Take a deep breath, swallow the awkwardness, and tell dad. He knows you're growing up and that you have your period already (moms talk, promise ya), so you just have to get over your own nerves and tell him. Be casual about it - "Hey dad? Mom left without buying me a new thing of deodorant and a bag of pads. Think we could hit Walgreens today so I can stock up?" Being friendly and relaxed will put you both at ease... you gotta have those pads, babe, so go for it!

I'm on vacation right now and have my period. It's really light but still enough to where I have to wear a pad. I'm going to the beach today and I want to wear a tampon. I've been trying all week to put in a tampon but I would get too squeamish. Then yesterday I got the applicator halfway up there and it stopped. It felt as if it wouldn't go any further. I though maybe it couldn't go up anymore so I tried pushing the tampon in but that wouldn't go up either. I'm afraid to push hard cause I don't want it to hurt. What should I do to make it go up without hurting??

Hey girl,

It shouldn't really hurt when it goes in, but should instead slide up easily. Maybe you're putting it in at a bad angle, so keep trying because practice makes perfect! Good luck x0x0

Ive had my period for 3 years now and ice always used pads. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I'm going to be going to the beach and swimming. I've tried to use a tampon before but the thought of putting something inside my body makes me feel super uncomfortable. I've tried using a tampon more than once but I can't get myself to do it. My body is totally relaxed but I can't even start to put it in without taking it away because of the feeling. What should I do? I don't want my vacation I've been waiting for for 2 years to be ruined.

Hey girl,

This is one of those "mind over matter" situations. By thinking this way, you've already talked yourself outta using the tampon before you've even tried putting it in! Think of all the ways using a tampon will help you on your trip - all the great things you'll get to do because of the tampon that you wouldn't get to do with a pad. Use that as motivation, take a deep breath, and go for it. I'm not gonna lie, the feeling is weird/intense/funny at first, but I promise once it's "in" there you won't feel it one bit. And you totally get used to it the more you use them!

How do I deal with the blood that I know I can't avoid???

Hey girly,

You're right, you can't avoid it. You may think that you can't deal with blood now, but when your period comes you may react differently. You just kinda have to stick it out since there's nothing you can really do. But, you can also talk to your doctor to see if there's anything you can do to get over this phobia. Good luck! x0x0

Hey babe! If you have your period you're not too young to use tampons. Don't be nervous, I know it's weird at first but it's not a big deal. Check out the link for more help! Also, TSS is very rare, so as long as you don't leave your tampon in for more than 8-9 hours you should be fine. It was more common before, when tampons were made of some other material. So no worries, just be prepared and remember to change it. xoxo

do you have an idea on when i'll get my period??? thanks

Hey babe! There's no calendar to follow to show when or where you'll get your period. Just keep pads on you and if you want to make sure you can keep an extra pair of pants in your locker. That way if you do leak (which totally sucks, but it does happen) you won't have to worry because you'll be covered, no pun intended. Sorry girlie, but there not really another way to be prepared. It's rough and it sucks waiting for it to come, but it will and you'll be ready. xoxo

I just got my period on Saturday but think it was just spotting. I'm almost 15, so I kind if was expecting it but I had no symptoms! Good thing I was at home and not out anywhere! I'm thinking of using cloth pads and maybe a diva cup when I'm older. Does anyone use any of those things?

I got my first period a year ago, and was really irregular. I haven't had my period for 3 months. When will my period get regular? thanks! Have a good day!

Hey girly,

It does usually take about a year for your period to get on track, so be patient. If you still don't get your next period, you should go see your doctor just to make sure everything's OK. x0x0

Hey girly,

Having discharge shouldn't hurt at all, so you should definitely go see your doctor to make sure that you don't have an infection and that everything's OK. x0x0

My teacher told me that after about 6 months of discharge you should get your period about a month later. but ive had fluid for 2 years! is there something wrong with me?

Hey girly,

Most girls do get discharge about 6 months before getting their first period, but there's no "normal" for periods, so everyone's different. There's nothing wrong with you, you just have to be prepared for when your period comes because it could be soon! x0x0

MOD!!! i just got my period and there are no pads in the house and i dont know how to use tampons. im so scared. i dont know what to do. i feel like crying and my mom isnt home. help me please.

Hey girly,

Is there a neighbor you could call to give you pads? Or another family member who could run out and get some? Stay calm, and wait for your mom. As long as you're in the house, you'll be fine. Just remember to buy a lot of pads next time so you're not in this situation again. x0x0

MOD!!
okay so I'm going to be getting my period soon and this month I want to switch to tampons. I have had my period for about 4 years now, and I'm sick of pads. They make me feel so gross. I have read about tampons and understand how to properly use them. The only problem is I don't know how to bring this up to my mom. She hates tampons so she would be shocked that I want to use them. What should I do and what would be a good way to ask her? Also would you recommend U by Kotex or Tampax Pearl for my first time using them? Which is easier to insert and remove? thanks!

Hey girly,

You should tell her that even though she doesn't like using tampons, this is your body and you think you'd like them a lot more. You can tell her that you don't feel comfortable wearing pads, and you feel like you're mature enough to make your own decision about what to use. As for which kind, everyone likes different things so it's really hard to say--you just need to choose yourself. Good luck! x0x0

I got my period for the first time a couple days ago, but I only had it for 4 days. Is that normal?
Thanks!

Hey girly,

When it comes to periods, everyone's different, so there's no real "normal". Girls can have it for 3 days, 4 days, or even more--it just depends on your body. x0x0

My friend and I are going to the pool tomorrow and we are both on our periods. She is wearing a tampon, but I've never done a tampon, and I don't have any, and DONT plan on wearing one, so that plan is out. It is also suppose to be SUPER hot tomorrow...so would it be ok to just get in the pool for like 5 minutes then get out? *We are mostly tanning* WITHOUT a tampon or pad. Will that mess anything up? Also, the pool is a public one, and uses chlorine and whatever else a public pool uses. ALSO, lol sorry for the questions, I have black boyshort swim bottoms, so do I need to wear a pad, bc I mean, if I get in the pool, I cant wear a pad!? Maybe I can fine some wipes or go to the bathroom if I feel really wet? Do you think it will bleed through...I started Saturday/Friday *Sorry can't remember at the moment!* and Im not bleeding not to hard. So please, sorry for the all the questions, but answer ASAP! Thanks MODS.

Hey girl, you need to wear a pad with your bottoms. You're still going to be flowing. To be safe, I'd suggest just dipping your feet in. If you go in with your period, the blood will get in the water and it's not fair to the other swimmers.

Hey girl, that's a toughie, but I think it's all about your style. Just have fun yourself and it will be fun. Really, just be yourself. And don't you want people to notice, especially the guy? The point of flirting is to show a guy you like him.

I didn't feel wet at all i went to the bathroom right before i was gonna go to school and all the sudden i realized that that wasn't discharge..... it was blood! i sat there for a few seconds and then dashed downstairs to tell my mom... she was really supportive and lent me a pad and bought me my own pack after school don't worry just tell your mom (or trusted adult doesn't matter if it's ur dad) and they'll be there for you hope this helps

by qtpie42 on 7/19/2011 8:44:48 PM

It's fine dont worry
And I recommend u carry pads or tampons all the time since it doesn't have a regular time, and it may come any time.

I havent had my period but am supposed to be getting it anytime soon. My discharge has been very heavy the past days. I just went swimming and after i got out of the pool my friends and i had some ice cream. I was just sitting there and i got a horrible cramp that made it hurt to move. Now it smells weird down there. Whats up?

Doesn't sound like it, but only time will tell

Discharge is one of many symptoms of a pending period, so you just have to give it more time

Mod! I've had discharge for more than a year now and I still haven't had my period. I thought it should have come a long time ago so it's hard to be ready. Any tips?

The only thing you can do is wait it out and as the symptoms increase, make sure you have pads, tampons, etc.

K i got my period a couple weeks ago and didnt tell my mom. Why? cause i had brown discharge once and she thought it was my period and assumed i had it. did i need to tell her? oh and im scared she'll schedule a doctors appointment while im on it and its a new doctor so idk what theyll do....thanks.

Hey girl,

You really should tell your mom that you have it. And as for the doctor, there's absolutely no reason that you should be scared or nervous, because it's only a doctor's job to help you, so that's all they will or want to do. x0x0

You don't need to freak chica remember you aren't the first to have your period and you definatly not the last to have it.

Mod! I have had my discharge about 6months but my mom said that i might get my period when she got hers at age 14, is that true??

Hey girly,

Getting your period depends on genetics, but it also depends on other things like your weight. So, just because your mom got her period at 14 doesn't mean you will also. x0x0

I was spending the night at my grandmothers when I got mine! I had got a headache the night before, but I wasn't expecting it! I was shakin so badly!

by nerdisthewurd26 on 7/19/2011 11:44:52 AM

I was not prepared for mine! It happened when I was eleven! In a church summer day camp with my BFF, she was the first to know I was so scared coming out of the bathroom, I was shaking with fright. Being eleven! When my older Sister got it when she was lik fourteen!
Thank goodness i had a long shirt on, and it was almost time to be picked up!
