I got my first period at the end of July (thankfully right before HS started) and it lasted about 2-3 days and that was it. Haven't gotten it since. Now, I am scared that i am gonna get it some random day at school, and i don't know how heavy it would be or anything. So here are my questions::
1. Is it normal to take this long for the 2nd period?
2. If and when i do get it, will it go down my leg at school or will it just be a little on the first day that it comes?
3. What is the maximum amount of time between one period and another?
jokerzgrl answered Wednesday October 6 2004, 6:12 pm: Don't worry, your body is just adjusting, about this time next year, your body should have regulated itself. Its a totally natural thing. Your period is usually heavier on the first day, but don't worry about the blood running down your leg, just worry about your panties being ruined. A regular period is supposed to be 26 day apart, but thats not for every female, mine is more like 19 to 17. Stress and other facors such as diet can also effect when you get your period, too.

2. when you do get it..it deff wont go down ur legg...it will probally juss stain ur underwear...but make shur that if u feel uncomftorable that you check jusst incase
3.the maximun amount of tyme between a period deffers with difrent ppl..so what i suggest is that when you get ur second period..and when it stops...record how long it takes you to get ur 3rd one...n that should b approximetly how long between a period is

2)it will probally just come through ur pants or maybe just ur underwear or maybe just a lil bit just make sure u have pads or w/e with u all da time
3)usually the maximum time is 28 days to a month

Leigh answered Tuesday October 5 2004, 10:43 pm: 1. This is definitly normal. For not only your second period but for about a year or even more your period will probably be off.
2. No it usually won;t come down your leg if you are worried about it bring extra pads in your purse and back pack. I am also sure that your friends, the nurse, and the bathrooms will have pads or tampons for you to use. When you have your period it never really gushes out so you won't have to worry about it running down your leg unless you don't have pads ect.
3. Everybody is differnt but usually your period happens about a week, more or less, every month (once you r regular)so about 3 or 4 weeks difference.

misunderstood64 answered Tuesday October 5 2004, 10:36 pm: ok here's some advice:
1.) YES it is normal..it happened to me. I first got my period at camp (no joke lol) and then it didnt' come till months later.
2.) um...no I guess it depends on how heavy you are..most likely you'll feel something sorta weird..such as ur peeing ur pants (but it shouldnt be too much) and u'll be able to catch it and go to the nurse and get a pad. or if ur concerned were a sorta light pad (not lightdays) everyday till u get it (sry that's sorta bad advice!)
3.) At first you're period is going to be very irregular might take couple years, months to get regular. but when you did get regular it's usually every 21 days or to put it simplier about the same time every month. if you start to get it on july 4th then august 5th expect it to be around the first 6 days of the months or so.
good luck dont worry and be prepared! [ misunderstood64's advice column | Ask misunderstood64 A Question ]
