OMG! yah it is! Tell your mom or whoever is in charge of you! When I got mine (I was 12 when I got it) I told my mom and she was all happy (it was SO freaky) Dont freak out about it. It should last 3-7 days. (unless something's wrong)

How much blood was there?
Have you done any hard physical activities lately, or have you been horseback riding?
Do you feel bloated or constipated?
Does your belly hurt? Does your back hurt?
It could be your period, or it could be that you broke your hymen.
When I was 13 I went to the bathroom and found blood on my underwear. Six months later, I got it again, with cramping and all that.
I'm 20 and I've had sex a few times but only broke my hymen a few months ago.
Everyone's different. Whatever you do, don't panic. This is NORMAL. Don't worry if it goes away right away, or lasts two weeks. Your body isn't sure what's what yet and is taking you along for the ride.
If you have any older female relatives or friends that you can talk to, do so. You'll feel better about the whole thing.

I'm my name is Dianne and I'm 46.
Yes, it is probably your period. I guess this is your first one right? Don't worry. I got so scared when it happened to me. I was like you. I went for a bike ride and went into the bathroom and saw some blood on my white underwear. I ran into my mom all upset. She sat me down and told me about it. Don't worry. If you want to email me and ask questions....go ahead.

If it's happening again today or tomorrow (sometimes it takes a day to really get going), then it probably is. You should talk to your mom or aunt or something so you can get the right supplies. Plus they'll be proud (and sad!) that the girl is growing up!

YES, most likely. i was 12 when i got mine, my friend was 9, its normal to get it when your 13. the best way to find out is to put a kleenex up to your vagina, if it comes out with blood, meaning that the blood is coming from your vagina, its youre period. sorry! its a curse!

Probably yes, Dont be freaked out. Just pull your mom (or another adult woman you feel comfortable with) aside and tell her what happened. She will be able to explain everything to you and help you buy your first pads!! be excited, its the first steps to adulthood!

It very well could be, You might spot for awhile before actually starting, so be prepared and have tampons or napkins with you, cause it always seems to hit when you least expect it.

Blood in the stool may come from anywhere along your digestive tract, from mouth to anus. It may be present in such small amounts that you cannot actually see it, but is only detectable by a fecal occult blood test. When there IS enough blood to change the appearance of your stools, the doctor will want to know the exact color to help find the site of bleeding. To make a diagnosis, your doctor may use endoscopy or special x-ray studies.
A black stool usually means that the blood is coming from the upper part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Blood will typically look like tar after it has been exposed to the body's digestive juices. Stomach ulcers caused by ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin are common causes of upper GI bleeding.
Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggest that the blood is coming from the lower part of the GI tract (large bowel or rectum). Hemorrhoids and diverticulitis (inflammation of an abnormal pouch in the colon) are the most common causes of lower GI bleeding. However, sometimes massive or rapid bleeding in the stomach causes bright red stools.
Consuming black licorice, lead, iron pills, bismuth medicines like Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries can also cause black stools. Beets and tomatoes can sometimes make stools appear reddish. In these cases, your doctor can test the stool with a chemical to rule out the presence of blood.
Brisk bleeding in the esophagus or stomach (such as with peptic ulcer disease), can also cause you to vomit blood.
