Hi,
Menstrual "periods" begin in most girls between 9 and 16 years of age. During the menstrual period a blood-like fluid flows out of the vagina. This is a monthly discharge and requires a girl to wear some kind of sanitary pad or tampon to absorb this fluid and keep it from soiling the clothes. Pads have adhesive strips and are worn inside the panties. Tampons are placed inside the vagina.
In the beginning the periods are irregular and scanty or heavy. Later they become regular. Most periods last from 3 to 7 days. After the period, there may be a day or two of light bleeding, called spotting. This is normal.
Enjoy Life

First periods can be just a few spots, which over the months get heavier in flow. Yes, you are the 'right age' as the first period can come between ages 9-16 most usually. Write down the start and stop dates and watch for a pattern, your 'cycle' so as they come more regularly you can predict when your period will come. First year or so periods are NOT regular, so don't panic.
This means that you are now able to get pregnant. If you have sex ONCE you it can happen, so if you are going to, or already are, please see a doctor or clinic for advice and help.

Yes, you are spotting. That is very normal and expected with your very first period. You are at the PERFECT age. Congrats on becoming a woman. Good Luck, now make good choices.

Its normal to have spotty menstral cycles one you get your period. Your body is getting adjusted to all the hormonal changes. You may not get a full flow for several months, get it twice in one month, or skip a month or two. You're fine :O)
