my period has been going on for a week and a half, should i be worried? and its really heavy...

 

Hey girl,

everyone's periods are different. Especially if you just started getting your period, it may be extremely irregular for a while. You shouldn't be too worried,but if it keeps going on for much longer let your mom or trusted adult know! xoxo

I've had my period for 6 yrs almost n it's 10 days late this month. I've had spotting like a week ago tht only lasted for like a day n I've never had tht before. I'm scared I'm not going to get my period. My grandma Is a nurse and she says I'm fine n my body knows what to do but I'm still scared. I'm kinda Crampy n headachey

 

Hey Futurewriter16, I think you should be okay. It's perfectly normal to be nervous, but no worries. Even your grandma who's a doctor said you'll be fine. If you are still really concerned, you can always schedule an appointment with your doctor. Hope you feel better! Xoxo

Lately, I have been having cravings for sweet and salty foods, I've had discharge for about a year now, and I have been really moody lately. I have also been getting cramps down there for a coupe days at school, and my doctor said I should get it within two months.. Could I be getting it in sooner?

Hey girl,

If your doctor said within two months, that could mean any time now and then! I wouldn't worry about it--it will come when your bod is ready!

Yesterday I had really bad stomach pain. I was sick at the time so I passed it off as side effects. But today I went to the bathroom and I think my period started. This is my first one. It wasn't runny or bright red...it was more dark red-brown and goopy. Was that my period or just discharge? I want to know before I tell my mom! Please help, it would be really appreciated.

 

Yep thats most likely your period! It's dark red brown because the blood is a bit more dried up. Probably because its your first time. So if i were you I would go to my mom and get some tampons and pads to prepare for having your period. xoxo kerra

ok I hope this mod shows up. I always check for my mods to be answered but they never show up-even a week later. Anyway, last year in 6th grade, it was no problem having my period at skool cuz I just kept pads in my unnoticeable school-uniform pocket. Completely hide able, plus there's a plaid pattern that hide any weird disfigures in the skirt tht my pads made. Well now I'm in junior high, and we have NEW uniforms!! Without pockets!!!! Im in 7th grade, and like NONE of my friends got their period yet. At least none that I know of. Anyway, this means that I can't just bring a pouch with pads in it to the bathroom-it would be awkward and embarrasing. I wear flats, so no pad-in-the-shoe ideas either. Idk what to do!! Luckily, I didn't get my period This month yet, so I've had no problems. I need help!!! I have shorts to wear under my skirt w/pockets but the pockets are TINY. Please help!!! Thanks xx

 

You know...if I were you I would just carry it to the bathroom in a pouch. Having your period is 100% natural and if anyone thinks youre weird theyre immature and not worth your time. As long as youre not waving around your pads announcing it to everyone I dont see what the problem is. xoxo kerra
