Heyy!! So i got my first period back in January, it was really weird as my best friend had gotten her first period3 days before i was at school and i was wearing dark underwear which was a little wet but i didnt think much of it as i get loads of discharge anyway. But when i wiped it was like brown! I was so scared i started feeling like really nauseous.. I ignored it as i didnt have a pad and thought it might just be spotting or something. When i got home i finally built up the courage before i went to bed to show my mum the new stained underwear, which was brown!She was really supportive, taught me how to use a pad and we talked for hours i was up soo late lol! It only lasted for 2 days and stayed brown i had some light stomach cramps but nothing that bad. My periods are pretty regular the cycles range from 27-36 days, and i get pretty bad cramps and bloating, my heaviest days are day 2 and 3 i would say i change my pad 3-5 times on those days. My period now lasts around 3-6 days so not too badI havent tried tampons yet, too scared!! It can be pretty hard at school, I keep my pad in a purse in my bag at school, Just incase. I also struggle with ovulation symptoms but yeh, i have had like 4 or 5 periods now. I used to use the pads that my mum uses but now i use thinner ones and liners on the last too days. Let me know if you want any advice!!

So basically I just got mine today (april 4 2025) I'm 13 about to turn 14 on the 21st. I went to my first period ( no pun intended) math and I took a quiz. I had to pee so I went to the restroom. When I wipe I always check for some reason but this time when I wiped it was blood. I almost passed out I thought it was a dream! I felt so woozy and unreal after. Everytime I go to the bathroom and wipe its blood and brown discharge. It wasn't scary at all but I did have this HUGE pad on and I felt like I was wearing I diaper. For all the girls out there be prepared. P.S. I ovulated like 7 days before this happened so watch out for that too ovulation is basically discharge but that's something you ask a trusted adult. Don't rush it just try to get your mind off of it

Be prepared

I have an old pencil case that I keep in my bag filled with period products (pads, tampons, wipes, spare underwear). It was a pencil case because then if anyone asked I would just say “ oh that’s just my pencil case I keep some markers / pens / whatever in it.” I’ve had it in my bag since I was 10 and I never needed it until this week when I went to the toilet realized that I had got my period, walked back into the class to get my ‘pencil case’ and all was fine. My tip would be *drum roll please*………….………………………………………be prepared!!! I hope this helps and makes anyone who was worried about getting it in school realize that 99.9% of the time tends to work out for people and that there is nothing to worry about! Thanks :)
