Well, first, yea, you probably got your period. Second, I'm not going to congratulate you because I'm not going to give you a false reason to celebrate! I won't lie, there's nothing exciting about having a period after the first or second time, it just gets in the way. The only thing I'm happy about is that I don't have to wait in anticipation anymore, and that it means I'm maturing into a woman. I've had mine since I was not even 10 years old (13 now). The women in my family mature extremely fast mentally and physically. Here's some information I put together for questions like this. Hopefully it will help you. :)
Symptoms:
1. Cramps below your belly button, but not all the way down, similar to diarrhea cramps.
2. Mood swings, not necessarily going off on everyone, but possibly random depression, sadness or anger.
3. Cravings for comfort food more than usual (ice cream, chocolate, etc.).
4. Sometimes headaches like to tag along with these other symptoms, along with weakness in your thighs.
5. Your breasts will most likely hurt, or at least be sensitive at some point, same with pubic hair.
6. Random tiredness, fatigue or weakness is quite common too.
7. Bloatedness.
8. White/clear sticky discharge on your underwear.
Midol will help with most of these problems, along with warm baths, heating pads, hot water bottles, exercise, and gentle massages.
Menstrual cramps are believed to be caused by many things, but the sex ed teachers I've had said, and what I've always believed is that the cramps come due to the muscles contracting and twisting, trying to push the blood and lining out of your body. Ways to get rid of them are:
1. Midol (menstrual relief pill), take one or two, depending on how bad the cramping is.
2. Exercise usually helps, try sit-ups, or other exercises that work out your abdomen.
3. Warm baths (not hot because that will make your period heavier) may soothe the pain.
4. Heating pads or hot water bottles where it hurts will help soothe the pain as well.
5. Somehow, bananas help.
There's many explanations for irregular periods.
Some may be:
1. Frequent large amounts of stress, or spontaneous small amounts as well.
2. Health; from as small as a cold to as big as a disease or STD.
3. Activity; if you're suddenly very active (whether it be in sports or just exercise) it will reflect on your period.
4. It depends on how far you are into your period. During the first few years, your period will be very irregular, but eventually it will steady out.
Stress relievers (pills), less physical activity, more experience with menstruation, and diagnosis for your illness will help your period return to normal.
Things I would take with you to school (or any public place) would be: Pads/liners/tampons (whichever you choose to use), maybe an extra pair of underwear, a Midol or two, and if possible, an extra pair of pants (if worst case scenario happens).
Well yes just in case wear a pad and congrads! I would need more detail to tell you if it was your period or discharge!
you should just wear a pad to bed. it will make your underwear cleaner.
yes, it sounds like your period.
better be safe and wear a pad or it will be rather messy
you could if you'd prefer just making sure. No harm in it.
YAY! i think ya got your period hun! congrats!! Im pretty sure ya didnt get a cut in your vagina. ya i think you should wear a pad to bed so no more blood gets on your panties :)
Yea. You don't want to wake up with a mess.
Obviously. If you have some common sense you'd do that. How can you cut yourself down there? OBVIOUSLY.
ew. yeah. unless you want ur white sheets red by the morning.
