I usually have discharge in my panties but today there was just a little blood in them along wth the discharge. I used a pad but no more blood. Did I really start? Everything is normal now. So what is the matter with me? And if I dont have it tomorrow can I go swimming? Please help I am with my Grandma for the entire summer!

remember grandma is a girl, so was once young also and got her period. tell her and she will help you. just because grandma is older does not mean that she does not know about her period. yes you are starting your period. now you are a woman. I never went swimming when I had my period, thank goodness I don't get it anymore. I am a mother with children.

If ur not on ur period yes u can go swimming but u should tell ur grandma what happen 2day. discharge can mean many things sometimes u can get a discharge from the type of underwear u wear. the blood mean that u will be coming on soon!

hey sweetie,
for one, i would go w/everyone's advice on here and tell your grandma.... if you feel really uncomfortable talking to her about it directly, maybe you could call your mom and have her tell your grandma?
also, if it is your period (sounds like it, and it could take a few hours to a few days to really get heavy), you can absolutely go swimming -- you'll just need to wear a tampon instead of a pad. have your grandma take you to the store to pick some up. try a small sized one first -- a great one for teens is Tampax's "slender regular," which absorbs as much as a regular one, but is slimmer for a first-timer).
if you don't feel comfortable w/trying a tampon, you should probably stay out of the water till your flow is over, so as to avoid an embarrassing mess, hehe
good luck girl... and congrats on your first period! :)

umm well i would call your mom if you can and talk to her about it. Dont go swimming until u know for sure it wasnt your period, and if it was, wear a tampon. Talk to your grandma. she will understand! if u have any questions, u can IM me at x0x_emily04_x0x. Ive had my period for like 4 months now, so i could answer some questions for you if u like!

My grandma is a woman, and she had periods once! She understands and may buy you some pads, tampons, etc.

If you don't want to talk to your grandma then call your mom or a close friend.

You're probably just spotting. You're fine. Go ahead and go swimming if there's no more blood tomorrow.
