could my period be coming soon?!


Question: Could my period be coming soon?
hi. well, I'm eleven. my mother had her period when she was twelve. I've been having lots of cramps in the upper belly area. It especially hurts when I bend or stretch. And I noticed yesterday I had a gush of discharge, a little more than normal and it was clear and sticky. I was just wandering if I could be having my period soon, so I could gather the supplies and be prepared. Please don't answer with a 'be glad you don't have it now' or something.

Answers:

Clear discharge is normal even if you aren't beginning your period. However with the symptom of cramps you might be ready to start your period. Usually there is a bit of weight gain and cramping.

Drink lots of water (it makes the menstrual blood less 'goopy' and easier to collect in a pad of tampon) and get in the habit of carrying a pad or tampon in your purse at school just in case. Of course nurses have extra pads and things on hand but it saves you the trip.

Hope this helps



You don't get cramps in your upper belly. They're in your lower belly, like, an inch or two under your belly button.

Anyways, if you have discharge, it really can start up any time now. It could be weeks, months, or maybe even a year, but nonetheless, it's always a smart idea to go and get some pads and pantyliners and keep them handy just in case it starts up unexpectedly.



U R IN PRE-MENSTRUAL STAGE
U WILL GET UR PERIODS SOON
