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 have not had my period yet but I get this light brown stuff on my undies. What is it my period or something else.

 

Hey Girl, that's probably discharge and is totally normal. It can be a sign your period is coming, but it isn't always 100% correct, it depends on your body

For a few or more months i've been getting little stains in my underwear that are clear and yellowish, or funny colors. I have all the symptoms like stomach cramps, mood swings and tiredness, and lately my hair has been getting really greasy and i asked my mom and she said its probably just my body. I'm really confused if I'm going to get my first period soon.. Please Help!

Hey girl, it's likely that you'll get your period soon.  Our bods go through lots of changes during puberty.  Check out this article: "First Period Prep."

MOD! MOD! could you please hide my comment?
Okay, so at the beginning of January, I had the same issue as the girl in the article here, except there was only a tiny little brown stuff, and I know it wasn't poop because I just knew! I changed my undies and the brown spot was still there, and my 'period' lasted three days overall. I'd had discharge for about a year, puberty for about two years, but the spot seemed a lot smaller than all of the websites I've been to have said, so was it leading up to my real period or some kind of false alarm?

 

Hey girlie, I think the advice in the article is probably true for you too. It's not very much because it's just brown discharge. So wear panty liners and have pads at home to be ready for when your period does come for real.

Hey girlie,

I think that was definitely your period, especially if your mom agrees!

Why is my period brown and how do I know when to put on a pad since I just started havin it a week ago

 

Hey! I'm not sure, but it is common for your period to appear brown or rust colored. You should ask a doctor about specifically why that is, since I'm not sure. Put on a pad as soon as it starts (carry around spares in case it starts when you're at school. if you don't have a pad on you when it starts, you can fold up some toilet paper to make a temporary one until you get home)
