From the article: The Menstrual Cycle
A woman's first period is usually memorable. Thanks to my sister announcing mine to a city street full of people (true story!), I'll certainly never forget mine. What was your experience like?
periods the word
- i was getting ready to go on a class trip that lasted 3 days so i had to pack clothes and stuff my mom made me pack pads cause just in case. so we arrived at the camp and i had a icky sensation in my underwear i thought i peed myself so i went to the bathroom and saw blood everywear and i was like oh no it's my period!!! the i just cleaned up put freash underwear on and took a pad. i've learned it's always good to be prepared, and the next day my friend got her first period to so i told weird and i started mine yesterday did you pack pads and she said no so i let her borrow my pads and THE END

Well i did try 2 hide it...
- Well, in grade 7, I got it but I didn't want it. So, the first week that I had it, I washed my panties before putting them in the hamper to gett rid of blood. However, by the next month June( I think it was June) it came around again and i was wearing white shorts and i had an after-school sports team and I didn't notice the big huge stain but i'm sure all the guys and the two P.E. teachers were laughing about it, when i got home i was like holy crap, and tried to hide them but my mom found them. And i cried the first time i put in a tampon it hurt so much...

Freaked Outta My Mind
- Ok so I just started my period two days ago in he afternoon. That day I had been feeling very strange. I wasn't having any cramps, headaches, etc.. But for some reason I had to pee a lot. By about noon, I had some brown spotting. So I changed my underwear and put on a pantiliner. Later that day, I started having a lot if brown stuff and had to change the pantiliner every 2 hours or so. Right before I went to bed, I had to pee. When I looked at the pantiliner, I saw a reddish tint around a brown spot. The next morning I checked the pantiliner I'd put on last night, and there was a lot of that brown stuff, so I decided to "steal" one of my Mom's pads. Sure enough, the next time I went pee, the pad had blood on it! It was hard to tell my mom at first but I just said, "Hey Mom? I had the 'blessing' from mother nature." So she's been helping me deal with pads and such.. I could've waited a couple of years or so! (even though I'm already a late bloomer :P)

Surprise!
- So to get started I was 11 and still am and got my period somewhere around April. I woke up at 6 am on a schoolday before my alarm because I felt like I had to pee. So I'm half asleep and I go to the bathroom see a huge brown stain. I changed my underwear and I don't know what I did with them since I fell back asleep when I wentin my room. I wake up again around 645 to find another stain. Being half asleep still I change and I remember putting them under my bed and sleeping on the floor. Soon after my alarm goes off and I go to school. Throughout the day I have a weird feeling down their but I it's just discharge. When I get home I go to the bathroom and see a much bigger red stain on my underwear and jeans. I walk out and ask my mom for a pad and all she says is "I had a feeling you got it especially after finding those underwear under your bed." I was really embarrassed. I was in 5th grade at the time and one of my bffs got it a couple months before. I hate when I get it. Lol

Assembly and P.E.
- I got my first period on a thursday. The night before I had brown discharge. I was 12. It was assembly and before I went in, I went to the toilet because I felt funny. When I got there, my pants were stained with blood.. If I had left it any longer it would have leaked. I got cleaned up and told all my bestfriends. The worst part was that I had P.E after.. I had to run 800M. I had agony cramps and I could barely walk. If I had tried to run, I would have doubled up in pain. My P.E teacher was like (A MAN) You weren't trying your hardest there were you? And I said.. I was i had a really sore tummy.. Awkward or what? :P Lol. It was fine after that though.. :)

Sleep over
- I got mine about three months ago at my friends sleepover... I hadn't used the bathroom all night (y'know having fun), and when I woke up I had to pee. When I went down to sit on the toilet and my underwear was completely brown! I got so scared so I went to wipe myself and the tissue was covered in blood. I practically squealed and when I went to both my friends (My mom didn't tell me much on puberty) they said, "You might wanna put some toilet paper there." Texted my mom and she rushed over. I cant believe i was first to get my period on our trio ._. Anna age 11

Happy period :)
- Ok I was at a friends house and we were just fooling around .... I felt kinda wet downstairs and thought nothin of it ... Thought it was just discharge .... So I go to the bathroom and go pee ... While peeing I saw brownish red in my panties I was like .... Could it be .... I whipped and pink on the toilet paper ! I was so excited because I thought I'd never get it cuz everyone else had it and I didn't and I was 14 ! So then I went and asked my friend for a pad .... She laughed and gave me one ... I knew how to use it and everything but called my mom to let her in on the good news :)

My "Lucky" Day
- My period was SOOOO embarrassing! I was at an 8th grade graduation party at my friend's house. The whole grade was there... like ALL the boys. At the time, i was almost 13, so i sorta was expecting it would come soon-but not at the party!!! So my friend had a pool, right? And i was in the CUTEST new bikini. I was standing aroind with all my friends near the pool, in my bikini, when all of a sudden a few boys walked by me and started laughing. Then one of my friends wrapped a towel around my waist, and gave me a pad. She told me to change back into my shorts and undies and put on the pad. I was SOOOO embarrassed becuase the BOYS WERE THE 1st TO SEE!!! Anyways i changed and put the pad on. The boys still tease me, but that was almost 2 years ago. I didnt even get to swim:((.
