First Period Experience

Started when i was 12, on a holiday with my dad,my brother and my male cousin. I was too embarassed to tell them so i survived on toilet paper for a day or two...then when i got home and told my mum she went "no, you can't have" ...really supportive huh?! well after i'd gone "well what's all this blood in my knickers then?" she came round to the idea...i think being the oldest kid she was a little flummoxed on how to deal with it all!

I was at school in 7th grade and I was 13 years old. I was extremely relieved that it came because I was 1 month and half away from turning 14 and I knew that I was kind of a "late" starter. I had been waiting for it to happen since the 5th grade. I was behind because I was diagnosed with Type I diabetes when I was 12 years old. This caused me to lose 20 lbs in a 2 week time and it set my puberty back quite a bit. It took a while to regain the weight after diagnoses so needless to say I was embarrased to be the just about the only girl in my peer group to not have her period. All in all it was a positive experience because I finally felt like a woman and included with my peers.

i was about 9 years old when i first got my period i was in 4 th grade in class when i starded having these bad cramps i excused my self from class went to the bath room and there it was i had to go in and tell my teacher thank god it was a woman so she called my mom and i went home and my mother gave me a pad and something to sooth my crams

It was very close to my 12th birthday, the day before i think. I woke up in the morning with my entire front (belly sleeper) covered. I just called for my mom, she got me a pad and that was that. I was kinda on my own to deal.

It was christmas vacation. I was 13. My family had gone out for the day and it was just me and my cousin at home, my boy cousin who was 19!!! I was a little scared and since he and i were really close i had to tell him. he took me to the store where his friend, who was a girl, worked. he told her what happeend and they both helped me get through it, but he did tell everyone that night and i was so mortified!!! but atleast he was calm and able to deal with it.

I was about 12 and I went with "the girls" to Florida for a week in the summer. We went to a reasturant to eat and my stomach started to really hurt and i thought I was getting sick or something. So I excused myself to the bathroom and there it was. I was mortified. I didn't want to tell my two Aunts and Grandma so I just used as much tp as possible and went back out. I made it through the dinner but just wanted to go back to the condo telling them I was sick. Later I was sitting by the pool and my grandma asked why I wasn't swimming and I told her I wasn't hot even though it was atleast 90 out (It was the middle of July). I had to confess my secret. My GRANDMA then called my dad and told him and then called my grandpa.... they were all so excited I had entered womanhood she wanted to take me out for Icecream. When we came back from vacation my entire family had known by then..brothers uncles and all I guess you'd say we are a close knit family.
