Hey, Girls only

[imabrat]

Got mine at 11 here. Woke up with red stains down into my sheets, went to potty to see what it was, and then told mom. 'Oh **** I got my period!'. Luckily we had some extra pads around.
Embarrassing part: I told my BFF thru IM. Problem? My BFF wasn't online! It was her older brother pretending to be her! ACK!

Use pantyliners if it's still light, pads can be kinda bulky. I'm still waiting for mine. It went away last August from chemo and still hasn't come back.

Ooo now we are telling storys!?

I wanna share!

Okay..
so it was in the summer, and I woke up wanting to stab someone (yeah..XD) and so I was like "well..lazy days...TV!" so I quickly ran downstairs -

Wait.
I better explain something, you see I dont use the bathroom as often as I should (as in go..tinkle) and so because of that (its not that I TRY i just..forget..) I get this weird discharge.

back to story-

so I ran downstairs and I felt a small squish, so I didnt even think about it, later I had 2 bottles of water, and my bladder was about to burst (literally) so I went into the potty, and I wiped, until I saw this weird blood stain in my undies..

I shrieked in horror.

My MOM and DAD were not home, it was just my brother and I, so frantically I put toilet paper in my pants, and was rushing from the couch to the toilet every 5 minutes to change my "toiletpaperpads" xD and after doing this for like...2 hours I realized "wait, sometimes for my discharge I have..PANTY LINERS!" so I started using those..No help, it was just a tiny bit better then the TP. So finally after about 7 hours, frantically rushing back and forth, my mom comes home.

I did NOT want to tell her. I felt ashamed of it. So finally I walked into her office and whispered

"Mom..."

'yeah hun?"

"..i think..i got my....my...*sooooofffffttt whisper* *gulps* period"

"OH JEEZ!! Did you get a pad?"

"nah, I didnt know where they were"

"OH GOOD GRACIOUS, so for this entire time, what have you been using?"

"Toilet paper..and...panty liners.."

"That wont cut it!"

so she took me upstairs and said "Here go change and put this on, if you need help with it just ask, its like tape"


The worst part was, later I went to the mall and for the first time i met my brothers girlfriend, and her sister.

*cringe*

So it wasnt that bad of a story, I dunno.

xD gawdsh that was seriously long.

I got mine kinda late, when I had just turned 14.
I was expecting it for a while, and my mom talks really openly with me about all that.
So I woke up on a Monday morning, saw that I had it, got supplies, then told my mom.

It was kinda embarassing just because she made such a big deal about it.
Like, when I came home from school, she had bought me this really nice necklace and wrote me this long mushy card about being so proud of the person I was becoming and this being a rite of passage and everything.
It was embarassing, but sweet.

To the OP- just tell your mom. It might be a little embarassing, but it won't be the end of the world, I promise :]

 

[Babyjustrun]

Mine wasn't interesting.
I was 11.
I saw blood, told my mother, she showed me how to put the pad on, and that's all.
I mean I knew where the stuff was, and knew how to use it... but I figure I may as well tell her so she doesn't think someone is sneaking in the bathroom and stealing her stuff xD

 

[Pink_Tiger]

but what should I tell my mom because she never even brings up the word period. so should I just be like, " hey, mom I found some blood when I went ot the bathroom.."

 

[life of the party]

LOL mine was like that

me: AHH!!!!
mom: what wrong honey?
me: mom i think i...
(realizes dad is by mom)
me: come with me mom for a sec
Mom: oh u started just sit in the bath tub and let me run to CVS
me: ok.... wait why am i still in my clothes?! (didn't realize but the tub was filled with hot water and got good pare of pants wet)

you got in the tub with your pants on?
hahahah!

niiiice lol
sry no offense
it sounds funny the way it went down lol

well.. i didnt know what to say !
hehe

If your afraid of mentioning the word "period" in front of your mom,
try using another word in place of it, like the word "Aunt Flow."


Try going up to your mom and saying, "Hey mom, we have a visit here for the first time! Aunt Flow came!"



Then if she doesn't understand, resort to actually saying, "I got my period."





Though, for the record, I'm 14. And I have yet to get mine.
Is that not normal?

If you haven't gotten it by the time you're 16 then it's not normal. It's normal for a 14 year old to not have it yet.

Ok, thank you.
:]



Honestly, I just wish it would come so I could stop worrying about it.

 

[shellybellypolo]

Well first off, no offense, but it's kinda weird if your mom thinks you don't know these terms. Don't you learn this stuff in school?

Second off, just flat off tell her. Every mother has a different reaction. Your mom may think the best of it.

 

[Pink_Tiger]

well I do know what they mean but she doesn't know that I know. If that made any sense!
lol
there was a class in 5th grade but she didn't want me to take it. and there is no class at our middle school, but there are kids and everyone talking so yeah I eventually knew. lol.

 

[Disneylover 2]

JUST TELL HER!!!!! So what if you know? I mean, you have to know because when you get it you know what it is and how to manage yourself. Not like me, when I first got it, I thought I broke my ******. It's not like she is going to punish you for knowing what's going on with your body.

 

[acesupercoolme]

I just told my mom I got my period, and she was like, okay here is a pad, go back to whatever you were doing. My cycle is pretty short, and I'm not like.. heavy or anything so I don't really have a problem with it.

 

[Pink_Tiger]

should I be like, mom when I went to the bathroom I started bleeding....

and see where that takes us?

 

[acesupercoolme]

You could do that, I just get to the point when I say things though, it's a lot easier.
So I would just go up to her and be like, "Mom, I started my period"

 

[Pink_Tiger]

SRY o add on to this but, I had another question.

I have been shaving for a couple of years with the razors that my mom buys. I just started on my own and have lately wanted to actually buy my own razor and cream.
BTW she knows that I shave and hasn't told me to stop.

I was thinking of just going over and pick up a razor and put it in the cart while we are shopping.

 

[acesupercoolme]

I wax, it's way better.
You don't need to do it as much and it get's all the hair.
And the hair grows in finer.
The only thing is, some people think it hurts, but I can't feel a thing, maybe it's just because I've done it so long, but I really think it's better.

 

[Pink_Tiger]

yeah I am not a waxing person (just never appealed to me)

 

[#1TiggerFan]

maybe i should try waxing since i never get all the hair! LOL
