YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

First Period Prep



What are some signs that I’m going to start my period? I’m 12 years old and still have not started. Can you give me some clues to go by?
 
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to circle a date on the calendar and know that’s when you’re getting your period? Even when you do start getting it monthly, the date may be difficult to guess each month, as it takes awhile for your bod to get on a sched’.
 
Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of signs for your first period. There are ways to tell that your body is maturing, which means you’re getting close to puberty, such as breast growth, public hair and acne. Although it’s also possible to see these body changes after your first period.
 
The typical “period” signs may not show up before your first one. Typically, before periods, girls might have bloating, cramping, headaches, mood swings, acne breakouts, etc. But you may not have any of that before your first period.
 
Doctor Corina Tennant-Moore, who is an OBGYN at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, suggests paying attention to any spotting, but agrees that you may not see it coming. Best to be prepared with pads and/or tampons at home, and you can carry one with ya, just in case.

I feel so sad I don't have my period yet. I just want to cry my eyes out. Seeing everyone on her having all the headaches and cramps and I don't.. makes me feel like I'm dying. I just want my period to get it over with. I'm totally flat chested and I'd rather have my period instead of boobs. I only have discharge. Is it possible to have NONE of the side affects but still get it? Frown Frown




Hey girlie! Don't be so upset. You will get yours. You just have to give it time. I know it's hard to wait while all the rest of your friends have it, but after you have it for a few years you will wish you didn't have it. It's a lot to take care of! Don't worry though girl, it will come. It can come at any time, so be prepared!

Hey girl, I don't know about around the corner but it's coming soon. Be prepared with pads just in case. No one knows when it'll come, but it's better safe than sorry when it does!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!! Is it normal for reddish brown like blood/discharge to come b-4 your period? Cuz I got that last night so my friend told me that i got my period and she would know shes had her s for a year so she gave me a pad but it was extremelyyy light then now its been a day ITS GONE! WHATS HAPPENING!?!? I have all the signs of puberty so am i going to get it soon or do i have it or what!?!?!? PLEASE HELPPP!!!!




Hey girlie! Sometimes you will get some spotting before your period that lasts for about a day, but don't worry cause it's totally normal. It probably does mean that your period is coming soon so make sure you always keep either a pad or a tampon with you at all times.

i am almost 11 and i have all the signs of puberty. i have all the signs of my period too. im scared im going to get it soon and im not prepared at all. when i ask my step mom to help me out she ignores me! so what do i do ! help me what if i start at school and i have nothing. if i do the only thing i would have is a sperate pair of undies and toilet paper. HELP ME!!!!!!

 

hey chica! this is a tough situation! why not ask your dad about it? tell him you're not getting any help from your step mom and you're concerned. it may sound embarrassing, but trust me, he knows more about periods and getting the supplies than you'd think! if none of that works, next time you're at wal mart or somewhere just get some maxi pads and stick them in the cart that way you'll have someone for when you start!
