I only started my period last month but it was normal and lasted 5 day..but this month i thought i had it but i've only had blood come out once, does this mean it wasn't my period or was it just really short?
13/f

Just be sure to keep a pad or tampon in your purse or backpack and you should be fine. [ killerface's advice column | Ask killerface A Question ]

This means you might not get your period every month, or you may get them when they aren't expected. The length can also vary, too. It's nothing to worry about and everything will even out in time.
The only other possibility I can think is you've broken your hymen and that's what the blood was - but I don't think it would have been a large amount.
Did you get cramps or any other symptoms women get when they're menstruating? Or was the blood followed by a browny substance? If so, it's your period.
Look out for when it next happens, or if you're really worried about it, see a doc. I think you're fine though and it's just the beginning of waiting for your periods to regulate. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
