Welcome to Gaia! ::

I thought this might be a little humourous for us girls to share our 'becoming a woman' stories. If your too embarassed or don't want to share, that's fine, but as much as I hate my period, it can be something to laugh over too.

Well, I'm in grade 9, and I'm 14, and I got my period in grade 6, when I was 12 I believe.


So I was sitting on the toliet reading, (I always read on the toliet!) and I sat up and noticed a drop of blood, and imidiately ran and got my mom and showed her. When I pointed, she sighed and said "Here we go...". Of course the first time was very light, and unfournately it was the day before Track and Field! And I wasn't used to wearing a pad, so it felt awkard running whee

So, when did you get your period, where did it occur? It doesn't have to be a funny story, just tell! (I would think this thread would be allowed!)

Edit: I realized there's a similar thread to this one of the front page, but it was SEX/PUBERTY not just periods so maybe this thread will be allowed. And not just went you got your period, other embarssingly/funny period moments as well,

I was 13 and in the middle of a two week boat trip with my parents. It wasn't so bad except it was pretty heavy and pretty crampy. My mom didn't believe that I needed to be using as many pads as I was since she was always light.

Eeek! One of the worst times to get them xd

I don't really like to use tampons myself. I only use them when I REALLY need to.

I got mine when I was 11, on Halloween. I went trick or treating and I had to go home because I felt sick.

I got mine when I was 14. (Im 15 now.) It was the Wednesday of the week before Christmas so lucky for me, we were already on break! It was pretty regular at first then the darned irregularness kicked in. Seriously, it came on the same day of the week the first two or three months.

I LOVE tampons. Always use them, always will. Pads make me so uncomfortable. Didnt even wear them out, wore one around the house for a little while then I went and ripped it off of my underwear and used the tampons.

OB is my favourite brand. I couldnt use applicators very well but then when I ran out last month I had to borrow some of my sisters and all she had was applicators. I am now skilled at both applicators and non-applicators but I still use the non. Just wash hands thoroughly. 3nodding

I was 14. I'm a late developer.

Anyway, I was in the bath and I screamed cos the water went red. sweatdrop
The thing is, we were doing swimming at school in PE and I had to use tampons from the start... stressed
I hated tampons at the time, but I always use em now.

i got mine when i was 13 or 14. *shrugs* nothin too traumatic happened whee blaugh

I got mine when I was 12 (in 7th grade). I wasn't too happy about going to my mom about it, though, cause we'd never talked about any of that before and it felt really awkward especially when she was acting all enthusiastic..
