Re: When did you get your first period?

  • I still haven't gotten it.

     

     

    Well, at least not lately. :)

    I was 15 or 16, but even then I was highly irregular and would go months and months with nothing.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • I got mine at 13 around March/April, and I know this BECAUSE... I started camp in June and June and July my period last 28 days STRAIGHT with a 3 day break and they had to put me on BCP at 13 for 6 months to regulate me.

  • I was 10 and in 5th grade.  I remember it vividly because I was wearing white shorts and my dad noticed it. He started crying because I wasn't his baby anymore.

  • I was 11 and the first of my friends to get it. It started right at the end of a school day, no cramps, no warning. Luckily my mom had just gotten there and I was able to have a friend go grab her to bring me a pad while I was in the bathroom. Luckily I was wearing red underwear. Oh the random things I remember. Lol

  • 11 and raided my moms bathroom because I got mine before my older sister got hers. I wrote my mom a letter and left it on her bed to find later on. Like a lot of ladies here, it was never talked about in our house and the only thing I really remember is panicking because in health class we had learned that you should stop the bleeding (in most first aid situations) and of course, I couldn't get it to stop.
  • 13, it was august. my mom who had had a hysterectomy when I was 4yrs old had no supplies in the house, despite the fact she had been telling me for MONTHS that I was "going to be a woman soon" (since I had been wearing a bra for a couple years at that point). 
    I woke up in the morning  and wiped and there it was. I shouted for my mom, who dug through the bathroom closet until she found a sample pack that Always had mailed to us a couple months prior. Then we headed to the city (1.5hrs away) where we immediately went to a walmart and she bought me the cheapest pack of the super thick pads. ugh. Since it was summer, and I was on a swim team, the next day she had a friend of hers explain to me how to use tampons (since it wasn't something she had ever used). oh the craziness

  • I could even tell you the exact date, because it was my best friend's 12th birthday. I went to her birthday party that night and even though I normally would've slept over, I left early because I was the only one of us who had gotten it at that point and I was embarrassed.
  • I don't remember.
