Early bird period

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?

  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
My period seems to be getting earlier and earlier every month! I just got mine today and it's about a week earlier than last month. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

 

Each girl’s period is 100-percent unique, right down to the number of days of your cycle. A standard cycle is 28 days—not a full calendar month. For girls who are regular, it’s typical to get your period a few days earlier each month…if you’re counting week-by-week instead of by the actual day.

 

Further, it’s not unusual for your period to come earlier or later than “normal” because of a variety of things going on your life, from stress to a change in diet. Unless you experience a significant change—getting your period repeatedly far earlier than you should or seeing it drop off for months on end—you shouldn’t be worried. But if you are, give your doc a call, just to be on the safe side.

how do i ask my mom if its okay to shave?




Hey girl,

You kinda just gotta go for it! Catch mom at a quiet moment (maybe when she's doing dishes or reading her book) and tell her you've been noticing the hair on your legs more and more lately and, since you're getting older, you think it might be best for you to start shaving now. And tell her you wanted to include her on it so she can help you choose a razor, gel, teach you how, etc. since she's been there before and done it! Focus on the fact that you want to tackle this together and I'll bet you'll win her over Smile

i need help. When they say you are spotting what is it and how long does it last. i have had about 6 periods and i got one a week early last week but it only lasted for 2days. Is this normal?

 

When you are spotting, that just mean that there are possibly small spots of blood in your underwear. Girls usually put on pantiliners so they will not ruin your underwear. Because you just started, this is completely normal!

I think my mom thinks I have an eating disorder. Just because today I asked her if a part on my leg was muscle or fat, and I didn't eat a lot for dinner tonight, and I guess I've asked her about calories a few times. But she said to me today 'I hope you don't have an eating disorder' and I was like what? I mean I am overweight so I see why she might think that, but Idk im afraid every time I decide not to eat something or ask her a health question she'll freak out. So what should I do?
Thanks a lot.




You should sit down and talk to your mother about how the both of you feel. Let her know that there are no problems with any type of disorders, and that you just have some questions about your body. Hopefully she will have a better understanding!

My period never comes when I'm sick. For example, I had a cold two weeks ago, when my period was supposed to come, and so it's been "held off" until now.
