Question

im 13 i have no idea what ovulating is and i havent gotten my period and i wanna know what the symptoms of a first period is

Answer 1

Different girls start their period at different ages. So, it may be perfectly normal for you to not have started your period.

Ovulation means when your ovaries release an egg. When women start "ovulating," it means that an egg is released and travels down your fallopian tubes. Your body prepares by building up blood in the uterus to prepare for the egg to be fertilized and implanted. If it is not fertilized by sperm, the egg dies and your body (uterus) releases the blood, which is your period.

The symptoms of starting period each month are also different for each person. Some people get tender breasts right before. Some get cramps in their pelvic area.

Finally, maybe you should talk to your parents or a trusted family member about your questions. They are the best source of info.

Answer 2

First of all, lamb, "symptom" is a word associated with illness or disease. When you do get your period you won't be suffering from an unnatural condition or illness.
Second, when your period arrives you will know! No mistake about it! The lining of your womb will shed. It will come out as a red fluid, but only contains about a tablespoon of actual blood (on average.) You need to be prepared for this by making sure you have sanitary products available. Buy some junior sized sanitary napkins, like Always or any other brand, they come prewrapped and you can carry them in your purse. They have adhesive that you expose by removing a paper strip and pressing the pad firmly into your panties. There is nothing else you need to do, except know how to practice good hygiene during your cycles.
Do shower or bathe. Don't believe old wives tales that you are "open" and shouldn't get into water. Not true. Do wash your hands before and after changing your pad every 4 hours or when you go to the bathroom. Exposure to air is what causes odor from the body fluids, so changing after going to the washroom is a good idea. Do dispose of the pad properly (you can wrap it in the plastic pouch it came in and put it in the trash. DON'T flush it.
Do continue your regular activities.
Some girls and women experience mild breast tenderness and/or cramps with their periods. This is normal. You can take a tylenol or two. Not everyone has this problem.
You are not late for your body. Every girl is different. Some do not have their first period until they are 19. I had my first at 14. Don't worrry.
I also advise you to talk to your mom or a school nurse if you have more questions.

Answer 3

you will get your period when your body is ready.
there are some signs like:
you will put on a little weight
your face will show it the most.
you may start to have break outs on your face
you may feel cramping in the stomach area
some girls start to get underarm and pubic hair
some start to get breasts
I think you will be fine with this information for now
the ovulation,conception,birth control are all things you will find out about in your journey to womanhood
I remember this time in my life well
I was 131/2 when I got it
there was this great book in the school library
it wasn't informative so much as a great story for you at this time of your life
it is called
Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?
by Judy Blume
I hope you read it !!
I know I would again today being in my 40's that tells you how good it was!!!
enjoy being who YOU are now.....always good luck

Answer 4

Okay. It's ok if you haven't had your period even if you're 13. Some people start from ranges of 3rd grade to high school! Some symptoms that can help you recognize when you're going to start is about 2 years after your breasts have grown. A white 'slimey' type of goo with start leaving your vagina and you may or may NOT have cramps before your period starts... Your punic hair will start to grow and your breasts will become oddly shaped. Everyone is different, so i cannot tell you when you'll start... hope i helped some!




p.s.

remember that there is no rush to start it- even if it means something like getting a cellular or getting your ears pierced-- because the later you start the happier you'll be because you won't have to worry about it!!

Answer 5

To tell you the truth I didn't notice any symptoms when I got my period. You may not get your period for a few years still so don't worry.

Answer 6

im 13 and just got mine a year ago the 1st time the only symptom was a chololate craving a few days before and every other times it was either cramps or nothing at all

Answer 7

If you see anything reddish, brown on your panties, then that's it. You won't feel emotional changes or physical yet. You might feel cramps. Don't worry, make sure you have your lady products in your back pack and with you all the time. Your first period isn't heavy. It is very light.

Answer 8

You should be talking with your mother or an aunt, Honey. But there are books out there that can tell you what you want to know, even health textbooks.

And don't worry: Not everyone starts their cycles at 13, or experiences them in quite the same way.

Answer 9

Uhmm... well some people dont get their period until they are 15 or even 16. I mean depends. Uhmm.. a sign would be lower abdominal pains. Back aches, head aches, mood swing. It can be a number of things
