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?
What an offer!

I was 12 when I got my first period. I was at school at the end of the day when I noticed a bit of heavy colored discharge, but I didn't really think anything of it because I'd been getting that for the last month or so. Then, when I got home, I was changing my clothes and when I went to change my underwear they had pink in them. I freaked out and yelled for my mom as loud as I could. Practically screaming bloody murder (no pun intended).
Well, my mom, my sister, and my mom's boyfriend at the time came running down the hall so I said, "No, JUST mom!". She came in, I showed her what happened, and she told me it was ok and told me how excited she was for me. We didn't have anything in the house so her, my sister and her boyfriend went to the store. Then, it didn't occur to me, but now I know it was probably to warn them of the impending doom of having another menstruating woman in the house!
Anyway, when they got back, she told me how to use the pads and that was about it. Although there was one other VERY memorable moment about it... when my mom's boyfriend came up to me and said, "I just wnat you to know that if you ever need me to buy you pads or plugs I will do it for you, you just have to ask." Wonderful, huh?
