Please help me VERY worried.

PPS:havnt had very first period.

Tell your mom.. it sounds like your first period, its natural and normal and she can put your mind at ease.

If its not your period she can take you to the doctor for a quick check up...

But first things first, talk to your mom.

Hi,I am 11 years old and exactly 13 days ago I had a dark brown discharge.the next day it was light brown.ever since the brown discharge it has been white with a yellow and brown tent.the discharge has a light smell,but you can only tell if you really try.sometimes the discharge might have pink specks(smaller than a pea)in it.I have been experiencing:cramps,tender breasts,headaches,occasional mood swings,diarria,and stomach aches.
When will my first period come?has it already happened?should I tell my mom?

That sounds more like spotting. But likely your period will start very soon. Anywhere from any day now to the next couple months would be my guess. It's really hard to figure out when your period will come until your cycle becomes regular, if it becomes regular. I would talk to your mom. She was your age once too and know what you're going to. She'll be able to help you get feminine hygiene products (I like to wear a pantyliner anytime I'm expecting my period, save my underwear from stains. You might consider wearing some too if you're worried about your period sneaking up) and how to best deal with the cramping and general uncomfortableness that tends to come with periods.

Here's my deal:i have been having mood changes for 2 weeks now.ill go from happy to sad to mad to depressed in just a matter of minutes.from my recent comments,everyone has been saying that its because of hormonal changes,and the fact that I might be having my very first period soon.is this why I have been so moody?

Here's my story:i am 11 years old and exactly 13 days ago,I was having these symptoms:
Headaches
Stomachaches
Cramps
Mood swings
Discharge(has gone from dark brown to light brown to white with a yellow and brown tent in just 13 days)(discharge doesn't have a smell)
Tender breasts
Are these signs of my first period coming soon?can you tell me when it might happen?should I tell my mom?

You already asked this and I already told you. If you're still confused then you should get off the computer and go talk to your mother right now. If you still have more, different questions, then you can add to one of the threads you have already started. Do not create anymore threads regarding this same question. All of it should be kept together in one thread.

Please stop posting the same thing, over and over and over.

It really annoys the experts who will end up not helping you.

If you want to add more info, you answer your own thread.

I hope I did not lose any answers merging all of your threads

Hi,sorry if I caused any trouble,I'm new to this.anyway all that stuff is still going on and its been 16 days now if it is my period,shouldn't it have happened by now?

PS:the discharge now comes out white but dries yellow.

Have you talked to your mother yet?

Periods aren't always totally predictable. When I first began getting my periods, when I was your age, it started suddenly one day, was awful and lasted nearly a week. And then I didn't see it again for months. And then a few weeks between. And a couple months again. Eventually it became somewhat regular, roughly every month or so. It finally got totally regular when I began birth control, but I was about 15 then. The discharge it pretty normal, as long as there's no foul smell and no cottage cheese consistency. You'll get to know your body and what's normal for you as you continue to grow and mature. If you're ever unsure or concerned, it's always better safe than sorry and you can always talk with your doctor if you think there is something wrong.

It sounds like you might have had a short first period. The average cycle is around 28 days, but you might not have a normal cycle right away. I'd keep some pads in the bathroom and probably in your purse or school bag too. Then you can always be prepared for when it comes again. And if the discharge is bothersome, I'd try some pantyliners. I'd go to some of the major brand websites too, like kotex and always. A lot of times they have giveaways. I've gotten tons of free samples and lots of great coupons by visiting the various websites. Not only will you save money, but there's a lot of feminine hygiene products out there and it's a convenient way to try out lots of different brands and styles so you can find what's right for you.

So this IS my period?by the way,I haven't told my mom yet,I don't know really how to tell her.im not really comfortable talking to her about stuff like this.do I NEED to tell her soon?

I know that first conversation is awkward. But yes, you do need to tell her. Unless you have a way to get to the store and pay for pads and what not all by yourself.

Do you have an older sister or any other women in your life you're more comfortable with?

I have a older sister,but she wouldn't help,shed just laugh and make fun of me.by the way,I've felt like this for 16 days now.when is it ACTUALLY going to happen?also,today I have gotten LOTS of white discharge,and really bad cramps.
By the way:thanks for answering all my questions.I REALLY appreciate it!:)

Like I keep telling you, your periods will be unpredictable for a while. No one can tell you when your next period will actually come. And the discharge sound pretty normal, but again, if you're worried talk to your mom and have her take you to the doctor.

As for the cramps, there's lots of ways to relieve them. Walking will actually help. I know at first it seems awful when you just want to curl up in a ball and never move again, but once you get moving you tend to feel better. Avoid caffeine. Midol, advil, or other over the counter pain meds are usually helpful too. Also warm baths or a heating pad.

I still really think it would be best for you to talk with your mother. She's been through all of this too and knows what you're going through and how to help you.
