The blood is normal that you described!. If you are unsure on what products to use and plan on using pads I recommend always clean, the ones that come with wipes!. I would wait awhile to use tampons if I were you but if you don't want to do that try playtex gentle glide regulars and read the instructions in the box on how to insert them!. Bloating on your period or before your period is normal but that doesn't mean you have to be bloated!. Periods usually last about 3 to 8 days time varies for each woman!. One period a month but be aware that yours won't be regular for a couple of years and that's normal!. Oh I forgot change pads and tampons every for 4 to 8 hours depending on how heavy you are!. Don't sleep with tampons try always overnight, the pad is longer than a normal one to prevent leaks!. I f you have bad cramps try taking midol or laying down with a heating pad!. Regular exercise can help with cramps too!. PMS symptoms which occur the week before your period are tiredness, bloating, headaches, mood swings, food cravings, depression, and bachaches!. That doesn't mean you will have all of those!. I hope my tips and information helped you and don't worry about your period you'll get the hang of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yep, it's normal for it to be stringy-looking and brown!. I was surprised to see brown my first time too, but it's just all a part of it!. You can definately get bloating as well!. try drinking a cup of coffee if you like it, it will help get rid of some of the excess water!. There's lots of information out there about your period, you can always google it and see what you can find, or just talk to some other girls who have theirs!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
