UH OH! First period?!?!


Question: UH OH! First period?!?
So late November/early December last year, I had all the symptoms of your first period. Grouchiness, tiredness, mood swings, stomach cramps and back pains. About a day after I had that, I had a quite big splatter of blood in my undies. For the next few days I had heavy (a lot heavier than usual) brownish discharge. My mum said it was just spotting, but Im thinking it was a light period. I heard that on some girls your first can be really light. After all, I had all the symptoms. I havent had anything since, but I know it takes a while to settle down into a regular routine. Was it a period or just spotting?

Why uh oh? lol

I would say that was your first period, it's a shame your mom just passed that off as spotting rather than celebrating your first period with you, it's a shame. Given how long it lasted and the fact you've had nothing since would say it was your first period, it was just light - spotting is most usually down to ovulation, as ovulation occurs two weeks before menstruation if that had been spotting due to ovulation you'd have had menstruation two weeks following that, also spotting tends to be shorter.

What you describe aren't exactly symptoms either - they can happen before/during menstruation, particularly in your teens, but not everyone gets these and for those who do they can be totally avoided so you can just enjoy the positive 'symptoms' rather than suffering these negative ones.
