Hello I have recently started my period, well I think I have I am 13 yrs old and have noticed brown striny like discharge in my knickers so I put a pad on and told my mum, she said it was normall to have brown blood for your first time, is this true I am worried I have began to have a lot of cramps below my belly button and have been on my period for 3 days, the colour of my blood/discharge is still the same and I am not very heavy, have I started my period or not?? :confused:

Yes, you are a woman now. Your mother is right, it is not unusual for it to be brownish the first time.

Your period should last about a week, and the cramping is very normal also.

Thanks will my period change colour? My blood is very dark??

It may or may not your first time. Next month it should start either brownish, or some women start pinkish, then go to a much brighter color. Then it will go back to brownish and then stop.

This is not at all abnormal for your first time. It may take a few months for your hormones to regulate.

My daughter just started this summer too. It will take a while before everything is the same every month.
