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've had my period for five months. I don't really have a problem, except that my flow is always really light. My Mom says it's because I'm so active-- I am. I swim every single day for an hour and a half (Yeah, I do competitive swimming). So I'm wondering: why does my period get so light because I exercise so much? How does that work? Oh yeah, and also I get cramps every month, and they stop going during swim team. Mostly, I'm just wondering why exercising literally 'lightens up' your period. Thanks!




Hey girl! Being super active definitely seems to have an effect on periods. Some girls only get theirs for a few days or some may have light days like you. It totally depends on the girl, but it's totally normal! Mad props to you for staying fit!

So, I have been getting spotting and cramps every month for five months. It's like a period, but it's so light that I don't have to wear a pad. I haven't gotten my period, but is this it? I am super active (and 14). I weigh around 100 pounds.I'm almost a B cup. I'm concerned, worried, and scared because most girls have gotten their real period after like two months of spotting at the most, and I have never heard of or read anything like this. I kind of want to ask a doctor, but I'm scared to ask my Mom because she's all like, "It'll come when it's ready." but I'm scared because I'm not sure if this is normal. Please help! PLEASE PLEASE. I am scared.

Hey girl, Moms are one of the best resources on this subject.  Tell her about the spotting and ask if she thinks you should see a doctor.  Don't worry, everyone's bod is different, which means our periods begin at different times.  In the meantime, make sure you're prepared for a heavier flow by sticking a pad in your purse or backpack.

I just found this brown stuff in my panties today... I wear a uniform consisting of kaki pants a polo or a skirt, should i just year my plaid skirt so nothing soaks through? will it? any more tips? how far is my period now?
THXXX! <3

Hey girl,

It might be your period--I would ask your mom! And if it is I would wear a pad so it does not soak through to you clothes.

Save your workout for when your fave TV show is on. Watching PLL while exercising will keep you distracted the whole hour. You’ll get in shape without even noticing!
