Answers:
Actually today I just started my second period. I noticed a lot more blood when I wiped and in my underwear.

I think your definitely starting your period. My first period I only had it for a day. So I was just spotting which means that you will start your period soon.

If your having bad cramps try putting a heating pad (if you don't have one at home ask a woman in you family to barrow one or buy one at CVS or Wallgreens) over your stomach or lower back. You can even try taking a warm bath but don't put any bubbles or fragrances in the bath because it may irritate yourself down there.

It's also good to stay active while your on your period.Health Question & Answer

Your period flow can range from heavy to light, so it sounds to me that you've finished your first one!

The discharge is normal, it'll lessen up as you grow into your new body, it's just hormones.

The cramping, bloating & mood swings are normal too, and can last from before your period, to a while after. Again, it's just all the hormones. They may also lessen as you grow older.

Since you're a beginner to all this, things won't be regular for a while yet as your body isn't used to all your new hormones rushing around. Everything's fine, but if you feel you want more help, talk to your mother or school nurse about it for more information & advice.Health Question & Answer

It probably was your period and not a false alarm. First periods are weird like that, so I've been told. I just got my first period a week ago from today and I also had very light bleeding and it only lasted one day. But I'm pretty sure it really was my period and not spotting. Yours may come back later this week, or it might be over for the month. You might also skip next month or a few months after that. Anything is possible really, first periods are unpredictable. You are not sick. Everything is completely normal. You are just having a lot of PMS symptoms. Treat yourself to some of your favorite foods, take a long warm bath and rest and you should be feeling better soon. I hope I helped. Good luck, girl!Health Question & Answer

I remember when i first got my period it was very little, and it was similar to yours, im 13, so yeah. You got your period im pretty sure. And yes you get this discharge every so often, but i get it like very often. its no big deal if it feels dirty to you just wear a panti liner. hope that helps (:Health Question & Answer

Like Kichi said, Don't worry, you are not sick! When I first got my period it probably took about two years to actually become regular. It is normal for it to be on and off, as well as light and heavy.Health Question & Answer
