Question: Can anyone tell me everything you know about getting your period.....not close with my mom at all
Answers: Can anyone tell me everything you know about getting your period.....not close with my mom at all
Your period can start at any time from as young as 12 too 17. It depends when puberty hits, you know you are close to begining, when you get pubic hair, and maybe under arm hair.
usually your first one justs comes on without any warning, and you usually just notice slight blood when you wipe or in your pants.
it can be really irregular to start with, so do not worry if you skip periods or bleed twice in the month its totally normal.
if you think you may begin soon, get some towels and keep them in your bag, just incase, but if you are caught short, you can always use folded up loo roll.
you may get cranky, moody tearful, and just generally hormonal the week before you start too PMT,
also you can get tummy cramps and backache during, so painkillers usually help.
thats all i can think off!!
I'm only 22 but it seems longer ago since i started i was 16, and was so scared to tell my mum. but when i did it was fine she just got me some pads!

you put a pad in your underwear and change it every few hours until you stop bleeding.
a few tips.
~keep an extra pair of pants (and under pants) in ur locker at school if u can....u may need them.
~check ur pad at least every 2 hours...change when needed or at least every 4 hours. (to avoid accidents and odor)
~if u are worried about when u will start, u can wear a panty liner (a clean one) everyday.
~use an old towel under ur bumm at night so u don't bleed on the sheets...sometimes it goes through/around ur pad at night.
~stay away from caffeine and get as much exercise as u can, it will help cramps and with ur mood changes.
~yes u can shower with ur period. in fact, it's a must!

Its when your vaginal walls produce a covering for the egg so if it is fertilized by having sex, a baby would be protected, but after a while the blood on the wall starts to shed which makes you have a period monthly
Everyone starts their period at different ages. Usually starts after hair appears and breast develop. Some start with a discharge before their period starts. Some have cramps and bloating. You can get medication to help relieve the symptoms. There are different pads available. You will need to see what one you feel comfortable with. Tampons are inserted within and pads are placed in the panties. You can talk with a school nurse and or a Doctor. If you aren't close to your mom, how about a Grandmother or Aunt.You may have questions still and will need someone to talk to now and then. Usually you cycle every 28 days and you will need to keep track on a private calendar so that you can be prepared when it gets close to your period. This will help avoid accident on clothing. Hope some of this helps.
LIAR.
Here you say you are NOT close to your mom, but on the previous question about how to tell her you said you were close.
Cut the junk out of your life and live it, just don't try to BS those who try to honestly answer your questions.
