When will I get my first period? What are the signs?
Posted: 11-06-07 19:56pm

Im almost a teen and I have questions. I have dischard and I was told that when that has been going on for about a year your period will happen quite soon. Is this true? I have been having cramps down there and I was told that's also a sign. Is this true? Or is it just theres no predicted time and it happens when it happens? Question

Not necessarily. I didn't have any discharge before my period first started. There really is no way to predict when your first period will start. Please talk to your mom about this. She should be your first source for your body, since she went through it too!

I had no signs, no cramps, and no discharge. I just started bleeding one day when I was 12. Listen, don't rush the thing either ... hopefully you'll be granted good health ... and then you'll be complaining about how irritating and sometimes painful it is!

Ok thanks! Also, things arent going to good between my mom and I. I really don't talk to her much anymore.. and I have no one else to talk to about that.

Sorry to hear about that. Coming into menstruation is a rite of passage. So, let us know here ... we'll be glad to celebrate with you. Maybe go out and buy a pair of red underwear to wear that day!!! It's actually a huge change!
