First Period I got my period on my 13th birthday. Awesome...

First Period

I got my period on my 13th birthday. Awesome, right? My mom and my grandma were shocked that I was scared. I was just like, 'oh, it's my period'. 

 

I was at home.

 

I told my mom and my grandma. 

 

I didn't really think about it. If it came, it just came.

 

Supplies

I usually use pads but recently I've felt really dingy with them on. So I've kinda started to use tampons.

 

Tampons are okay. I just wouldn't use the U by Kotex. They're colorful but the string makes it feel like its about to break. It takes time to get used to. I keep thinking if I sit down it'll shoot up so far I won't be able to get it out. D:

 

I change them a least every chance I think I need to, I guess. Mostly because our teachers are *#&@ in letting us get up and go to the bathroom at the same time.

 

PMS/Before your period


I do get cramps. Like, gut wrenching cramps. This is during my period though. I'm fine before it. I have dysmenorrhea and  the cramps are so bad, I vomit. It's like this sharp, kneeling over kind of pain. Luckily, I'm perscribed muscle relaxers to help me out. 

 

I always have mood swings, pfft. 

 

I definitely get angry easily. Especially when I'm cramping. Don't talk to me.

 

I cry in general. 

 

I don't have food cravings. I really don't. I never have.

 

Other


Nope.

 

My period doesn't even gross me out. I think of it as a way of cleansing. And it reminds me that I can still have a baby someday.

 

I just try not to do any situps because well.. yeah that's obvious.
