Answers:
Even though it is brown with a little red it is still your period!. Normally that happens when you first start!. The wings go under your underwear to help prevent leaks on the sides!. If you are leaking in the front or back during the day it might not be up far enough or back far enough or you might just want to get pads that are longer!. If you leak at night and you sleep on your back try sleeping on your side it might help some!. You can also try nighttime pads that are thicker and extra long!.
If it is really heavy that means it should be completely full about to go over in four hours and that is when you change it!. If it is not full in four hours then you can get a lighter pad!. If it is over flowing in four hours get a heaver pad like a maxi!. You can buy lighter pads and change it every two or three hours if you are uncomfortable with the heavier pad!.
For cramps use a pain medicine then don't take another until they come back!. If you go to school get a 12 hour lasting medicine!. You can't really do anything for bloating if you take a water pill you just have to pee a lot!. Remember pain medicine does not get rid of all of the pain it just makes it feel a little better so if you can stand the pain don't take any medicine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The brown is just dried up blood & the red is the fresh blood!.!. you should change your pads about every two hours, you sound like a heavy bleederWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think your fine you will not have a "normal" period for a good while!. I had the same problem as you!. Very painful, dark blood!. As far as the blood on your underwear, try placing the pad where your leaking, or use 2 pads on your heavy days!. It will get better plus what better reason to have your favorite snacks then PMS!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, brown instead of red IS normal, nothing to worry about, yes it is your period!. You are supposed to change your pad whenever it gets alot of blood on it!. The wings go under your panties!. ALL of your symptoms are normal, dont be shy to ask your mom, im sure she would be glad to help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey hun, ur period doesnt have to be "red"!. But since ur so young and you just started this is normal!. It is your period but it doesnt have to be exactly red!. I think you should think about changing ur diet!. And pls talk to ur mom, Im sure she would help you!. If not ask the school nurse!. But ur fine hunny dont worry, just make sure you are changing ur pad often for your own hygieneWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hun don't freak out i think you're a normal girl!. when i have my period i change my pad once in the morning and once after school (at around 3:30 pm) and if it leaks thru ur underwear then why don't you wear a thicker pad you should keep one pad or tampon in your backpack or pure,just in case you need it!. and its tampons that you have to change every 2-3 hours!.!.!.!.!.!. i think!. btw-why don't you try talking to your mom or school nurse about the other things, cause clearly i have no idea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This happens to me sometimes!. It is just dried up blood and it does turn brown!. Every girls periods are different, and you just might bleed a lot heavier than most girls!. When your period's are bad like this you might want to talk some advil or midol for the cramps!. It will make you feel a lot better! And yes, the wings of your pad are supposed to go underneath your underwear!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually the brown is only dried up blood if it is on your pad!.
If you wipe & the blood is brown, then it's just old blood!.It may take a while to get all the old blood out!.It's never really a waste of pads unless your just spotting or your period is really light!.Also, the wings are susposed to be visible underneath your underwear!.You may want to consider a different pad if it leaks alot!.Try one for a heavy flow instead of moderate or lite!.To help yourself with the cramps & getting iron, eat bananas during your period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm anemic too and my period will always start off brownish!. But it gets a little redder after a day or so!. You need to get put on an iron supplement!. Being anemic makes me tired and more likely to get sick!. Plus, the blood isn't always red!. It can be brown red pink or anything in between!. And as for the cramps and stuff, just take advil or midol and it should help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the brown blood is fine just wait for more periods and it will start turning red and the wings go around ur underwear where u can see them but on the other side of the underwear of course pretend the pad is hugging the underwear check the pad pack it shows u and for the cramp just take advil that would do! and just change ur pad when ever u think u need to cuz it doesnt need to be filled up in order for u to change it or change it when u think that if u leave it on for any longer it will leak to the sidesWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, the brown is normal, it just means the blood has been exposed to air!. It is also ok to go through pads very quickly if you are uncomfortable!. You definitely should not leave a pad on for more than ~6-8 hours just because it can cause irritation or a bacterial infection, but other than that you can change it as often as is comfortable for you!. Also the "wings" on the pad are meant to wrap around the crotch of your underwear to prevent the blood from leaking off the sides!.

Your cycle may even out or lighten in time, so just try to be patient with it!. For the PMS I recommend lots of water and Ibuprofen!. Sometimes caffiene can help with the headaches as well!. If you continue to have awful PMS or it gets worse, you may consider talking to your doctor about getting on some kind of birth control, as that can help significantly!. If your mom is not receptive to this idea, your local Planned Parenthood should be able to give you information and possibly cover the cost!.

Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
