My period comes out clumpy. Ew.

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
I get brown clumps in my pad when I get my period, and they freak me out! What are they, and does it mean something’s wrong?

There’s nothing like some brown clumps to remind you that periods are kinda, well, icky! But fortunately, those brown clumps are also perfectly healthy. Phew!
 
Basically, when a girl’s menstrual flow is fast, it’s red. But when it slows down, it becomes brown due to exposure to the air. Plus, periods are all about your uterus cleaning itself out, so you’re also shedding the lining of your uterus. That means clumps and clots are not only OK, they’re expected.

MOD MOD MOD I want to start wearing tampons all the time when I have my period but I'm afaid of getting TSS . Is it ok to wear them the whole time or will that put me at a high risk for TSS ?




Hey babe,

You'll be totally fine as long as you remember to take them out after four to six hours and replace them.

**********MODMODMODMODMODMOD**************** ok i have a yellowish-whitish discharge (i think not really sure what discharge is) which like raspberry-pink colored dots mixed in with it does this mean anything? thx. - ayle187

 

Hey girl!  I'm not sure what the dots are, but it sounds like you are just having dischare.  Usually that means that you are starting to develop and you'll get your period within a few months.  No worries! ~Kristen
