Question:
((GASP!!!))) Was this her period???
Last night, my daughter was changing with me, and I noticed DARK DARK brown on her underwear. Obviously, the first question, was "Did you poop today?". She said no, and I said "Well, I think you may have gotten your first period, honey." Was it her period? This morning, there was nothing on her pad. Was it the period!!!???
Answers:
Yes, it sounds like she has her period. I remember when I first got mine, it was VERY dark brown at first and didn't really look much like blood at all. It was also very irregular, for the first eight months or so before my cycle settled down - and I could be bleeding fairly heavily one day and absolutely nothing the next. Also, remember that the flow slows down in the evening in most people, so it's not unusual to have nothing on the pad in the morning. If you have any concerns, definitely see your doctor, but this sounds normal to me.
