Question: Problems with my period and other girl things! Please help!
Alright so i am 12 and i started (for the first time) a little less than a month ago!. I know my period is about to come but i am a little worried that it will come on the first day of school (August 20)!. I was also wondering when it was normal to start going to obgyn, i mean like what age and what do they do when you go to see them!?
And i just need tips on period things and puberty and stuff (sorry, i hate that word too)
Thank you so much!. Your help is appreicated!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
im twelve too but started when i was 11 1/2!. you dont really go to an ob-gyn until your 18 or umm pregnant or having sex!. i have that same problem! except i start on august 14th!. well im hoping i get it the day before, but in case i dont im wearing a pad to school!. im actually due for the 12 (today) but mine isnt regular yet!. and fyi it becomes regular after one or 2 years of having it!. oh joy :P!.
sometimes you might get REALLY bad cramps, and if that happens place a warm water bottle on your stomach after taking an ibuprofen!.
if you dont already carry a purse, carrying a purse once a month will look weird and it will tip people off!. so carry pads in your binder while your at school!. like a pencil pouch or pocket in the binder!.
tampons are not advisable to try until your used to your period (like me)!.
wipes are something you'll definetly something youll want to keep clean down there!.
black underwear and black p!.j!. bottoms are two things you'll want to have!. b/c most likely it will leak!. it still does for me!. and blood doesnt wash out too easily!. at least if its black you wont see it anyway!.
umm add me and we can probably talk more if you want!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was 12 when i started to!. I'm nearly 14 now!. I was due to come on on the first day of school once as well!. It does worry you i know but just make sure you wear a pad or a tampon when your due to come on in case you have an accident!. I wouldn't had thought you would come on on the exact date if this would be your 2nd period!. I've had many accidents and yeah its embarrassing i know but sometimes you just gotta get on with it!. I just tie my jumper round my waist!. I get really bad period pains and sometimes they make me feel sick but you might be lucky enough not to get period pains like some of my friends!. I'm sorry but i don't know what a gyno is!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, first if you're concerned about starting your period on the first day of school, wear a panty liner to avoid embarrassing leaks should it actually happen!.

Next, you won't need to see a gynecologist until you're sexually active, turn 18, or are having a lot of menstrual problems!. There's not great mystery involved in gynecology; it's just a check up to make sure that all your female parts are working right!.

Finally, check out http://www!.beinggirl!.com and http://www!.girlshealth!.gov/ for all sorts of information about puberty, menstruation and that sort of thing!. And DO speak to your mother!. She's been there and knows what's going on!. Barring that, speak to the school nurse, or the mother of a close friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should be prepared for your period on the first day of school if you think you are going to start!. Wear a panty liner and take a pad to school!.
You usually don't see a Gynocologist until around 17 or 18 unless you are sexually active or are having very heavy periods!. If you have tosee a gyn, ask your mom what to expect!. She has been through it very often!. You are only 12 so don't worry about it now!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went for my first pelvic exam/pap smear at age 11!. I'm 34 now!. You should go PRIOR to having sex or if you have period issues!.

Being Girl is a good website to check out!.

Pick your mom's brain, she went through the same thing you are going through now!.
