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.

hey! It sounds like you got your period. You should start wearing pads or tampons every day until it goes away (5-8 days on average) mark your calendar for this time next month and be expecting it again around then. Don't worry if your experience doesn't match this exactly. Everyone is different and periods can be irregular especially for the first year. good luck!

Okay so in november i turned 15 and i was really upset because i have been discharging and have pubic hair in all the places but still didnt have my period. I also have most of the symptoms like moodswings and breast tenderness and lower back pain. However last friday i went to the bathroom and there was brown stuff all over my underwear and so i put a panty liner on. Then they next morning there was alot more of it. Its monday now and my mom says its my period but im not sure because its not red or anything but its still coming out an i have to change pads every 2-4 hours. I dont know if its my period or not...HELPPP

Hey girl,

That sounds like it is your period, especially if your mom has seen it and says that it is! When blood is less fresh it can turn brown, so just make sure you're changing your pad regularly.
