First Period Experience
Where were you when your first period started? How old were you?
Did you talk to your mom, friends? What was your initial reaction? Retrospectively, could it have been
different or more positive experience, and, if so, how?
Late starter

Yesterday, Leeny mentioned that she'd been a late starter at not-yet-14 (http://www.mymonthlycycles.com/vwperm.jsp?pid=401). Well, it's pretty darn embarrassing when you've made it past your fifteenth birthday without your first period.
I can eat what I want and stay skinny, but the downside is incredibly late periods. My best friends would secretly tease me about it, although they were good sorts, so no one else at school ever found out. Still, I was so relieved, at fifteen years and one month, to finally notice blood one morning. I was getting worried that something was wrong.
My mum scurried around anxiously and supplied me, but she's not the sort of person to discuss that sort of thing, so I mainly talked to my friends. They gave me all sorts of advice on which school bathrooms to use for minimum sound audience, what times to go - all the really good stuff that your mother could never know. They got me through my first couple, especially when I discovered the second-day heavy flows. I couldn't have done it without them.
