Is this brown stuff in my undies my period?

Check these out, too...

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 13 and I haven't had my period yet. All I get is discharge. I keep pads and a pair of underwear in my locker though just in case.

I have this person who won't stop bothering me and hanging with me and my friends we all hate her and I've talked to her and I told her she needs to leave us alone and get new friends NICELY but she still won't ge it how can I get her to leave us alone HELP ME

Hey Abbydabbers, try one more time. Maybe writing a letter explaining how you guys feel will get the point across. Sometimes reading something and thinking about it, makes things more clear. If not, I hate to advise this, but you girls will just have to ignore her. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Is it still the same thing if the discharge is yellow. I have the same thing but it's not brown it is a dark yellow.

Hey hayhay0613, discharge is sometimes yellow, but it shouldn't be a dark shade. Are you feeling any irritation or anything? Xoxo

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 older then my mom was when she got it and a year over when the docs said i would prob get it! Periodicity i have super heavy discharge and i get super moody but it's not pink or brown, just clear! What's up with me?!?! Please help!!!

Hey Girly, Don't worry. It's hard to predict when your period might come, even if you experience the symptoms. And although it's likely you will get it around the same age as your mom, it isn't a sure thing. There are a lot of other factors that could go into it: your diet, weight, activity level, genetics from the other side of the family... However if you are getting to be 16 or 17 you might want to talk to your doctor.
