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?

My first Visit

Posted by: colie77 on Thu Mar 1, 2007

My mom was 40 when she had me, and started menopause right after that. So any products still in the house were 12 or more years old.
Thank goodness my sister-in-law had given me her leftover stuff when she had her hysterectomy. My mom was very open with me because her mom was NOT, (she was born in 1900). I had been noticing a little discharge for a couple weeks before so I had begun wearing panty liners. One day my Dad and I were watching TV and I needed to go to the bathroom. When I got there my pantyliner was pink! Naturaly, the pads were in the other bathroom. I yelled for my mom and asked her to go get them. I started using tampons the very next period. I am very open with my kids about things. But I still hope my girls get to wait till they are about 12.
