Answer 1

Skipping periods and irregular menstruation is quite normal during the first few years after a girl starts her periods.

When girls first start their period, a lot of unsual things can happen, like getting it every other week, not getting it for 2 months, or getting it for a longer time. This is a normal part of puberty, the cycle is getting ready to become just that, a cycle and it can take up to a year to be a steady thing, for some woman it never does. She may just be a girl who is going to have a heavy period to deal with.

Within about a year after beginning her growth spurt, most girls will have their first period. This marks the beginning of a girl's life as a young woman. In some cultures, this is celebrated publicly. Others choose to be more private about it. Some girls can't wait for their first period to come, while others may dread it or feel neutral about it. No matter how you feel, it's an important event in your life and part of the normal process of becoming an adult.

Most American girls start their periods between the ages of 9 and 15. There really isn't any way you can tell the day or week you'll get your first period.

There also isn't really any way you can make it come sooner or delay it from happening. But you can understand what is happening inside your body to know what is normal for you.
During each period, the inner lining of your uterus is shed through the vagina, the passage that connects your inner reproductive organs to your outer sex organs or genitals. This lining is mostly blood and other tissues that have been building up since your last period. The purpose of this blood is to provide nutrients for a fertilized egg if you were to become pregnant. Girls start having their periods early in heir lives, but most don't decide to start a family till they've already been having their periods for many years. Most women stop having periods when they are between 45 and 55 years old. This is called menopause.

You may have heard some women talking about their monthly cycle. This cycle begins on the first day of one period and ends on first day of the next period. While women's periods do tend to come about once per month, there is a wide range in the length of menstrual cycle from woman to woman. Some women's periods come as often as every 21 days, some as far apart as every 35 days. The most common range is 25-30 days. Some women have regular cycles and their periods start exactly the same number of days apart each time. For other women, the length of their cycle varies from month to month.

There is also a great range in how much blood flow each woman loses during her period. You may have a heavy flow and need to change your pad or tampon frequently. Or you may have a light flow with barely any blood loss. Usually your flow will be heaviest at the beginning of your period. It may start out light, get heavier, and then get lighter again until it's over. It's also common to see some small clots or pieces of tissue in your menstrual blood. Most women's periods last from 3 to 7 days.

Another thing that can vary is the color of the blood on your tampon or pad. Sometimes the blood from your period can be a dark, rust-like color. Other times it can be a bright red color. The color may vary according to where you are in your period or the heaviness of your flow. Pay attention to the rhythm of your body, so you'll know what is normal for you in terms of flow, cycle and period length, and color of your blood.

Answer 2

well sometimes when you first start your period it can come out brown and then eventually over your period the blood gets redder.
keep an eye out because there might not be anymore blood today but it can can start up again.
i am not sure how much you weigh but that can be a factor in how long it lasts. Also if you started last year and had some weight loss you body probably stopped producing eggs again because your body wasnt ready to start your menstrual cycle, but maybe it is ready now.
your first time getting your period is always a scary and confusing thing so dont worry about it too much, but if this is worrying you or keeps happening in an abnormal way then go to your doctors...or even ask one of parents or a sister or girl cousin if you have one.

Answer 3

Most menstrual fluid is not red, but a reddish brown. However, the color and consistency varies from woman to woman. One woman may have very thick, bright red discharge and another may have very thin, dark brown discharge. We're all different!
What you saw on your pad was probably just some tissue. Menstrual fluid is not all fluid, but also tissue. It's nothing to worry about, just part of the process.
I'm sure this is not feces. And if it somehow was, you would have known by the odor instantly.
It sometimes takes a couple of years for menstrual cycles to regulate, so don't stress about it, it's all part of the "fun" of being a girl!

Answer 4

I think it is a period. It is probably dried and that is why it is brown because blood turns brown when it dries. That thing in your pad, was it maybe a blood clot? If it is sticky and red, it probably is. Good luck!

Answer 5

sounds like it. how old are you? your body might just beginning this process so it might just look strange at first.

does your lower back hurt? (cramps)

no it is not the opposite of P. I think it's brown because there isn't much coming out so it's just drier.

Answer 6

Sounds like a period to me. Ask your mom!

Answer 7

It probably is.

When the blood dries it turns brown.

You should speak to your mother (or your doctor or health teacher if you like) about it.

Answer 8

for my first period, the first time it was more brown, yea gross. i would say itsy our period. Dont worry, as it goes on it becomes more red like.

Answer 9

You really need to talk with your mom or the nurse at school.
