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.

Last November I got blood in my underwear, it wasn't really heavy and it only lasted one day. Now I got it again! Is this my period?

 

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!

I am really confused on the whole period concept. Ive practically hit everything in puberty except for that. I am a bigger girl, and my mom told me that puberty will come faster depending on your body size. I have also been expiriencing cramps (down there), constant mood swings, discharge, lower back aches, etc. But, my mom told me she had things like that for a whole year before her actual period started. Is it true? Will this really keep happening for a year before my period starts?

I've been having a REALLY tough time getting to sleep lately or having a bad sleep. I usally have this pattern when I go to bed at 10:30, close my eyes for an hour, still not sleepy, get hungry go downstairs get a snack come back up and can't get to sleep. Last night I slept 3 hours, 12:00- 4:30 AM and i went to sleep again till 8:00. I've been getting tummy aches lately in my lower stomach and brown stuff in my undies... is this a sign of my first period coming????

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!! So I got my first real period in June last year and it lasted the normal time. Then for the whole summer I did not get any at all, then in september i just had spotting, and sometimes it lasted for two weeks. in the end of October I got another real one. Then in December I had spotting which lasted three and a half weeks! It has stopped finally, thankfully. So I have only had two real ones since June, and in between they are oddly spaced and just spotting. I am almost 14, 5'4" and 90 lb. is it anything to be concerned about? Thank you so much!!!!

 

hey girl! you have absolutely no reason to be concerned. as annoying as it is, periods can be VERY irregular for the first two years, and some girls never get onto a regular cycle. I've had my period for 6 or 7 years and I'm still not regular! Just keep an eye out for PMS symptoms to give you a heads up of when yours is on its way.

xoxo
