What Happened the First Time You Had...

hello msfrancisco! hahaha, wow! after reading this one, it looks like those days suddenly flashes on my mind and it makes me smile! huh! i remember, i was in grade 6 then, 12 years old. my first menstruation comes when i am also in school...its kinda difficult that time coz when it happens i am ask by my teacher to go round the campus to give something to other teachers...( i forget what i brought to them, i think i just let them sign on something...just like that) so while i was walking with my classmate, i feel something so i decided to go to the comfort room and there i saw! waaah! i am already a lady! but i don't get afraid or whatever coz just like you, my mom already told me things about it as well as we already discuss it in some of our classes... so after seeing that, i rush to my teacher and told her about it, she's just so nice to let me go home early... and when i am already home, my mom is happy to know it and she helps and teach me how to take care of myself while im having my period... she don't ask me to do anything but just let me rest after cleaning up myself... actually at first she encourage me to use cloth instead of sanitary napkin for better flow...well i do it but as i aged, i prefer sanitary napkin more for convenience...

That must be quite an experience for you. I sometimes have to contain my embarrassment of having to buy for my mom and sis. It's a very discomforting thought, lol. And I've a couple of mates whom have to buy for their wives, so yeah. LOL....so how many days would you feel pain??

I am a male but I have a younger sister who experienced her menstruation just like you. Since you already mentioned everything about menstruation, the only thing that I could say about it is that during your menstruation period you tends to more aggressive or angry most of the time. So just a warning to the guys out here, beware during your girl friends period like this because you do not know what they might do to you as I already experienced something out of it.

hi msfranscisco oh my do I remember my mom was too embarrassed to have that talk she should have had to begin with. I was elven and had just gone to the bathroom after having PE class and was scared silly to find I was bleeding. my physical education teacher helped me with a kotex and explained it all to me and assured me I did not have some horrible ailment.t hen my mom finally sat down and with red face explained the facts of life.I am so glad now days women are not so embarrassed to tell their girls about menstruation and becoming a woman.

I was around 14-15. At first, I was scared but I told my Mom about it. It happened during summer vacation so I was at home at the time. My Mom didn't tell me to jump around or anything but she did ask me if I really was menstruating because she thought 14-15 was too early. She had hers when she was 17. She thought I might've have bleeding because of something else. So, well, yes, then went the how to put on a napkin lesson and how to wash your own underwear stains and all. After a few years, I switched from napkins to tampons.

i was never asked to bring any napkins during that period.I have a sister but my mom really cares about all those stuff nd she never asked me to help nd i dont think she is going to ask for help in the future though,gud day.

I was fourteen and in the eight grade. It was funny looking back because i felt like I was the only girl in middle school who didn't have one yet. WEll I got home from school along with my sister and brother who were younger then me. I went to the bathroom and it was all over my undies and my pants. I started to cry. I knew what to expect but it felt like my child hood was gone that day and things did change. I snuck to my room and got a pad plus fresh undies. I then called my mom on the back porch cause i didn't want my siblings or my step dad who just got home to hear. Unfortanately my mom told my step dad and he tried to talk to me to calm me down. IT was embarrassing to me but I got over it.

I think I was 11 years old when I first started my period. I think that is very young and my oldest daughter is nine years so I know she will start here very soon. I sometimes wish I was a little older when I started so I could have known a little more about the world before my monthly friend came to visit me. Take care and happy mylotting to you.

hey you. although i am not a female yet i want to share a lot. if i would be your brother then i never follow your mothers direction bcoz the napkin.......... ohhhh.. i cant imagine that i can buy it for my sister. anyway in my locality those maidens who are just in the first step of bleeding. they are obliged to stay in a lonely place. they cant notice a male's face for three days even her father. she are also obliged to take light food and cant see sunray. what a nasty system? right.

i dropped it becaiuse it was making me a laughing stock of my friends. it was weird and funny and could make you laugh even by mentioning it.

Dear Friend, mIne was also very smoothly passed as my mother had already discussed and i knew it would happen one day. Same with my daughter. I told her in advance all the details so she was also not shocked on this. Thanks

Hi msfrancisco, I lost my mom when I was about 5 and a half. And I was in hostels. There was this hush hush thing that the seniors did, I thought it was because most of them were from a different state or because they were financially better off. They bought those napkins from weekly sundries, and the napkins were called biscuits. :) I did get a glimpse of it, it looked too white to be tasty. As to disposal method, as long as I did not start, I was kept in a different dorm, where there were no boxes in the toilets! Anyway, I was utterly unprepared for the attack the first time (aren't we all). I went for Christmas vacations with one of family friends. We went out of station, and it was in the train that I felt this excruciating pain and discomfort. I knew some liquid was coming out, and try as I might, I was not able to do anything about it. We had to change trains, and in that period, I decided I must visit the bathroom, and get it over and done with. I was apalled at the quantum of blood. I came out and told the lady, I had cancer. I knew that unusual bleeding meant cancer, but I didn't know that a thing called menstruation existed. LOL.

I was around 15 then. I was watching TV and felt like something's coming out.i went to the bathroom and was so shocked! I was the youngest then and I dont want my siblings or parents to change the way they treat me so I didnt tell it to them. It was awkward and im glad I passed through that stage already :)

i had my 1st mens while i ws in 7th standard. when at home i changed my un***wear i din notice it but my mom did. my mom too informed abt it earlier but still i got scared. it lasted till 10 to 12 days. but it ws really a horrible experience... it still do whn i remember my first time.

Well I remember my mother first having that discussion with me about menstruation at about 10yrs of age. The reason she had it then is that one day I had a really bad fall and landed on my nether regions in pain. Consequently I had bleeding there and my mother was convinced that I was menstruating, though I knew it was from my fall. Well, ok when I finally had my first menstruation I was about 12 yrs old, same as most of my friends. I remember lightly spotting all week and feeling strangely cramping. At that time I had forgotten that earlier discussion with my mother about periods, so I really did think that something was seriously wrong with me. I actually thought I was dying, I really did! At the end of the week I showed my mother my underwear and told her what I'd been feeling. She laughed at me and told me that I was menstruating and gave me some of her horrid monster sized bulky pads. I also have to mention that I was wearing bright red jeans to school one day and noticed that i had a big red splotch on my butt when I came home. Now, since I was busy putting up murals with a couple male teachers, that was pretty embarrassing but no one said anything.

I don't really remmeber that time. It happened when I was in seventh grade - when I was 12-13 years old. Luckily, it was a holday and I had severe stomach ache. My mom never gave me any information about this, but I was aware of it from my friends. My stomach pain gave my mom an alert. She took me to bathroom and explained about the situation. I found a drop of blood on my underware. She taught me how to use pad and the importance to change it at particular intervals.

I have my first annoying first blood at the age of 12 and that time I am very unaware of its the meaning. I often tease my eldest sister until one day I felt something wet like I have pee. Then, when I look at it is red in color then I do not know what to do to stop it, until I find the napkin of my sister she caught me taking it then she loudly proclaim all over the house that I am now a lady. I really feel shy and denied it first then I hide in my room for cover. I do not like to hear their laughter as it look like a curse on me as I use to tease my eldest sister now I get it.

I've had mine when I was about 15 or 16. I had prior knowledge of it because I have 2 older sisters, so it didn't come as a surprise. I was not told to do anything, but my mom advised me not to cross my legs whenever I have it because it can cause varicose veins when I become an adult. I just followed her though I don't know if it has scientific basis and I didn't bother to find out. Back then sanitary napkin was not very popular as it is now and my mother was against using it because she believed it has some chemicals which could be harmful to the girl's you-know-what . So I used pads made of cotton, personally made by mom for all of us daughters. It's washable and reusable, economical but it's also messy.

I was home the first time it happened to me. We were on break because I was in the boarding school and I went to ease my self and saw it. It was not shocking because I had heard about it before told my mum and she gave me sanitary towel to use. She was proud of me.

i remember that i have menstruation at first time is a winter and i was 16 years old. when i found out that, i was playing hind and finding games. when i see the blood, i have very fast heartbeat, and i was very nervous. so i ran home quickly and told my mam, she helped me and at that time i knew i have growed up.
