    Turning eleven next month and brown discharge !
    Well I was at this place lol but I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I saw brownish discharge and then I got worried cause I thought it was my period ! So I went to my aunt and tolled her that I started my period and now my mom and aunt think I had my period but I don't know if it's really your period cause I want to be prepared for next month , I also heard that if you get brown discharge it could be an infection I think ! But please help cause I'm worried ! :)

    No, brown is just blood and menstrual lining that has been exposed to air for more than a few minutes, and is a common color for your periods to be (along with pink, orange, and various shades of red). It is not a sign of infection. A common infection is yeast, which looks like cottage cheese and tends to itch, and can be treated with Monistat. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) tend to hurt when you urinate, and those require antibiotics from a clinic. There are some others but those are the most common.
    So.. don't worry. Your first periods may be irregular. Actually not all women have regular periods. You can keep track on a calendar if you wish.
