I'm about to turn 14 and I think I got my period but I'm not sure. At the very beginning of August I had spotting and cramps for 5 days. The spotting started heavy (like lots of little smears and dots) then got lighter(only one or two dots). The thing is, I've heard periods are sometimes very light for the first time (like just a few spots of blood). This was the first time I ever spotted or cramped. If this was my period then I'm supposed to get it again at the end of the month... And that's the first or second day of school! What do I do? I'm not sure if the blood was enough to be a period. I don't know if this matters, but the blood was all bright red. PLEASE HELP ME ASAP. Thanks

Hey 13agari, mark on your calendar the days you have your period, so you'll know when the next one is coming. Be sure you are wearing durable pads that keep your underwear from getting soaked. Also switch when your pads gets too wet. Hope this helps! Xoxo MOD MOD MOD Hey back also..... its the begginging of my period and i dont know when and how to predict it my mom says that it is like every 28 days but not in the beggingin and my enderwear keeps on getting like bloody... embarrasing! So how do you predict in the bvegginging... thanks! Lynae P.

Periods come every couple weeks so record the dates when you're on your period again so you can predict the next one. Hope this helps! Xoxo MOD MOD MOD MOD I feel like my period runs my life!!! When im on my period im always thinking about how if I will be able to change my pads if we are going somewhere all day, if i will leak, if i will have to go swimming (i dont use tampons) or anything! and when im not on it, im always worreid about when it will come again! will it come when i have to go swimming, will i have important tests during school, will i be on vacation?? it controls my life and i dont know what to. I have a bunch of parties coming up this summer at the beach/in a pool and im worried i will be on my period and not be able to go. How do i stop my period from ruining my life? THanks and sorry this is soo long! Lynae P.
by kkkahy on 6/2/2012 3:17:52 PM
Hey Hockeygal5, that is kinda rude. I would just be ring it up the next time you're around your mom and let her know. I'm sure she will say something to your doctor. Xoxo GMod Mod Mod So my doctor is really embarrassing because everytime I go to the doctor she calls me "the problem child" because I have ADHD. And it really hurts me to hear that. Now I hate going to the doctor and I don't know how to tell my mom Lynae P.

MOD MOD MOD! Please answer i have typed this question SO many times through out the day and im tierd of typeing it. Anyways, What are you suppose to do with the used part of your tampon when you get done with it? I know you throw the plastic tube away when you change it out but what about the used cotten ball thingy. I have always thrown mine in the toilet and flushed it but when i told my friends one of my friends said her mom did the same thing and one of them said her mom did somthing else with them. So can you just flush them down the toilet like i have been? If not what DO i do with them? Thanks sooo much:

Either way My discharge has been really heavy lately and I had it for a long time when will my period come? Hey babe, It's possible that you could be having PMS, although it would be strange to without a period. You may just be in a strange mood. As far as your period, there's no way to predict when it will come. It's different for every girl. Jordan S.

There's nothing wrong with you at all because of this. Your body simply developed more quickly than other girls'. Just remind yourself of that. You're no different simply because you have your period. Cheer yourself up by watching some of your favorite movies or reading to distract yourself. Jordan S.

Mod Mod Mod I cannot put in a tampon. I want to so bady, though! I have watched youtube videos, box directions, tried different positions, but I have almost gone through a whole box with none of them working! It won't go in all the way. What can I do now?
Hey Doodle600, you should try switching your size. Go for a much smaller one or try switching brands, and try propping one leg up on the toilet, so you have an angle to aim it at. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Mod Mod Mod I got my period like about a month ago and I'm about a month late.... I know that periods are irregular the first year but a while ago I thought I was getting my period before swim practice so I tried to put a tampon in using the directions... Is there any way that when I tried to put it in i might have put it in wrong and it kind of messed "down there" up... Will I get my period again???? Hey girlie, Don't even worry! It's pretty much impossible for a tampon to ruin anything. Unless you leave one in for way too long, tampons are really relatively reliable and healthy. It's likely that something else is just affecting your period. It'll come back. Jordan S.

futurewriter16, You arent alone, we all wonder about what guys go through, especially if we have a bf. I have one so I have been wondering more and more. You can just google what you want to and find just about anything and everything. And they usually show more than in health class, so be ready for that, especially wikipedia searches. So even though our health teacher showed us everything when it came to a guys 'down there' just be ready.
