Hi! I’m Amy and I’m 12 years old. I have been fingering myself about 2-3 weeks now. And yesterday I got my first period!
And I have discharge for like one month or something?
I got my first period faster than I expected!
But it was all dark brown-brown color!
Why?? Is something wrong with me!!?
I have been thinking it might be the reason it’s brown(period) because i have been fingering myself before?
And is it ok to finger yourself when this happens or at this period of time?
I went through the same thing with period when I was that age. It seems that more girls than you would imagine, have a slow and sporadic start to their period. Your body is still changing so your period will become more regular in time. It could take another year or so even. I started later, right before turning 14. But the brownish color is only the color of older blood that hasn't come down yet. This is something that will happen throughout your adult life in fact when circumstances make it happen. It means there is a delay in the real period coming. Stress, mental or physical can change the start of a period, getting over being sick or just starting out is also stress to the body and will delay a period so for the time it is delayed you see brownish stuff,and if around other menstruating females on a regular basis, home or like for me, on the job, there is a weird thing of nature that all the females begin to regulate to having a period at the same time. So if a friend is having hers later than you, you might get it earlier or it might delayed until many of you have it the same time. Just friends in school and duration of one or two classes won't do it. Its a prolonged exposure such as a sister and Mom whom you live with, or an office like where I was one of five females. I know we all had periods the same time when one got theirs earlier and had nothing with them like pads or tampons and asked around and everyone else remarked that they were on their period the same time.
Another thing you can expect though it may or may not happen is not getting it once a month regularly in the beginning. I remember being all over the place such as getting it for three months, then skipping one month, then getting two in one month, even once two months of no period before it started up again. I have read on line about this and apparently it is normal for in the beginning and I would say for probably a two year span it is to be expected. If you have this issue at 18, then something is wrong. I hate to tell you this but I am at the other end of life, past menopause. I can tell you right now that I had all the same symptoms of when my period started, the same at the end at it was supposed to stop. The delayed crazy schedule, brown blood. Women who think their period had ended because it hadn't shown up for two months and didn't use protection, in some cases got pregnant, even though older. That is why women are told to wait until they've had 2 years solid of no period before they can consider it won't show up again.
This is more than you wanted to know I suppose but this is stuff my own mom didn't know and I had to learn on my own the hard way as it was not covered in any literature or books in my past and is not talked about or shared at the other end of life.
