YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

Freaked about getting it for the first time

 
I’m terrified about getting my period. I’ve heard that you can’t tell when you’re going to get it—it just comes and suddenly you realize you feel wet. Is that true? What can I do to avoid being surprised by it?

 

Hey chica, while you may not know exactly which day you’re period’s coming, there are definitely some warning signs that’ll prepare you for it.  PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the process your body goes through before a period, so it’s a great way to tell if you’re almost ready.

 

Along with PMS comes cramps in your lower back, headaches, tender boobs, bloating and mood swings.  You also might be a little overly sensitive or emotional, but don’t worry, that’s perfectly normal.  Another major sign that your period’s coming is white vaginal discharge, which is a mucous-like substance that most girls start getting about six months before their first period.

 

Don’t let these PMS symptoms get you down though, because they give you some time to prep for your first period.  By putting pads in your locker and backpack, you’ll be prepared 24/7.  If you find yourself without any pads at school, dash to the nurse’s office where pads and other feminine products can surely be found. Just to be safe, keep a spare pair of underwear in your backpack or locker for those messy moments, and don’t wear white or light-colored pants if you feel it’s almost time. If you’re prepared, there will definitely be no surprises!

When I first started getting discharge, it was white and everything it was supposed to be. But now I've been noticing for a while now that it is more of a yellow color, not white or clear or anything. Is it serious? I havent told my mom yet cuz.. well its embarrasing. But I will if I have to just plz tell me if i need to!!!




You may be getting your period soon. But theres no way to be sure. Also i suggest you mention something to your mom so you can get the necessary supplies. xoxo kerra

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 Smile

So i think i just got my first period. when I saw it I freaked out and threw the underwear away after cleaning myself up. I don't know how to tell my mom because i know she'll tell my stepdad. And when he finds out, he'll start cracking jokes(I know because he done it before), and even though I know its a natural process,it makes me fell self-concious and embarssed when he does.
WHAT DO I DO???????




Tell your mom to not tell your step dad! Im sure she would do that for you. xoxo kerra

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!
Thanks Mod!!!




Carry a pad/tampon and change of panties in your locker or purse and ask to be excused to the restroom Smile
