Sorry for adding another period question. lol. help?!
Question: okay so its my first period, and im not scared or anything i just want to make sure this is normal and if anyone has gone through the same thing with their first. i asked my mom and it didnt help all that much so i want some second opinions. okay so i got it on monday, 2 days ago. i knew i was going to get it that day, i had a feeling when i woke up, but i thought i was just crazy and didnt bring a pad with me. so i had really bad cramps all day and couldnt get to a bathroom until about 4 oclock after school. my undies where filled with brown blood. i know its old blood and stuff and im just clearing it out, but now im hardly getting anything at all. jutst spotting. i only saw the tinyest bit of red on the first day when i wiped and thats it. now its just been brown spotting. not even a flow. it also really slows down at night. there is almost no spotting when i wake. but then a little more at school. had cramps the first 2 days but today, none.

My first period was really light compared to what I'm used to now: brown blood, and spotting, like you say.
I can also confirm that periods seem to slow down/go away at night sometimes. I usually don't believe that my period is over unless I've gone a whole *day* without spotting.
My first wasn't exactly the same as yours, because everybody is different, but it had some of the same features.
Good for you, for wanting to be educated about your body! :-)
This is completely normal for your first period. It happened to me my first time, and the next time I got my period it was a regular flow.
:)
That happened to me too. It is normal. It might take a few months to get on a regular schedule. If you are having really bad cramps every month you may consider starting birth control pills they can help reduce the cramps.
Its totally normal.
the more info the better :)
your period will probably be brownish until your body starts to regulate itself, which could be anywhere from a month to 4 years, so patience is all you need
trust me, as exciting as it is to you now, in 10 years you'll hate it!!
hahaha
good luck hun :)
