HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD

Is this brown stuff in my undies my period?

 
I think I just got my period. There’s a lot of brown stuff in my underwear (and I know it’s not poop ‘cause, well, I’d know). There’s no redness in it though, so is it blood or something else?

 

You’re getting close, girlie! Brown discharge is old blood—it turns brown because it has oxidized as it made its way out of your body. It’s totally normal to see this kind of discharge in the months leading up to your first true-blue period. Don’t be freaked; just start to prepare for Aunt Flo to come visiting on the regular.

 

For now, you can wear panty liners to keep your undies clean, or light or junior tampons. And for the future, it’s smart to toss some pads, tampons and a change of undies in your locker (in a cute, opaque little bag, of course!) and your backpack or purse, just in case.

I'm so sad. I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday (he kissed my BFF) and since then I've been so anti social and I haven't been outside my house for a day. I don't know why this is happening cause I know it was the right thing to do but I still miss him even though he cheated on me. What can I do to keep my mind off of him.

Hey girl,

If you only found out yesterday, it's totally normal to be sad, even if you don't like him anymore! Try hanging out with your family and some other friends to take your mind off of him, and check out this post for more ideas on getting over an ex! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/10/12/How-can-I-get-over-my-ex.aspx

MOD MOD MOD!!!! ive been geting discharge for 1 or 2 years and i still didn't get my period. ive had pubic and underarm hair and i think ive had my growth spurt?!!! my mom said she got her period when she was 11 or 12 and im 12 now. im also kinda skinny i weigh 75 pounds and im in seventh grade.

Hey girl,

Everyone is different when it comes to the first period, so don't worry if you're older than your mom was when she got hers! If you're worried, you can talk to a doc about it not coming yet, but it's normal for yours to not be here, and you will get it when your body's ready!

For a few months I had brown stuff. But last month I had a REALLY bad cramp! I wanted to curl up into a ball. It was that bad! I was talking to my male retired neighbor at the time, and it was really hard not to look like I was hurt. It was my period. For the next 2 days it was constant bleeding, it really sucked. But for the last two days it wasn't as much. Will the cramps be that bad every time? Is it normal that I was bleeding constantly? Do I need to get maxi pads for the beginning of my cycle? Please help!

Hey girl,

Cramps are pretty normal, but you can take over-the-counter pain medication to help relieve them. And yep, your period is pretty much constant bleeding for a few days! If maxi pads work for you, I would use them!

MOD MOD MOD!!!! Ok I've had pretty much all of the signs for my period for a while now but i don't have it! Im younger then my mum was when she got it. I have super heavy discharge and i get super moody but it's not red or brown, its been white since september! What's up with me?!?! Please help!!!

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

Is there any way to start your first period earlier? I'm soooo tired of the suspense and not knowing if it is happening when I'm having lessons at school. It would be really embarrassing if it happened when I was talking to my crush....

 

Hey! not really, but after a while you will be able to see that it happens around the same time every month. Then it'll become more predictable Smile
