How old were you when..

You got your period?! Lol
I was talking with a lady at the WIC office, she's 4wks pregnant with her 5th child, ages 12-6yrs. & her hubby wanted her to get an abortion because they couldnt afford another and on top of that both thier 12yr & 6yr old got thier periods this year. Wow. Anyway,  lol , I started to think about when I got my first period (15 yrs old) & I pray my daughters don't get it that early.  What about you guys?

My periods were horrible. I needed 800 Motrin to help me for cramping. Not until I started having babies,  I wanted to be pregnant all the time because you have no periods lol Thus,  baby #3!

I was 12. It was summer before 7th grade. I'd went swimming and everything so after i got out the shower i had to pee and when i wiped i saw blood. I showered again lol then told my mama to "guess what". And she was like "you started your period" and was smiling. She thought I'd scream or act overly dramatic. Lol i was grossed out cuz i was a heavy bleeder and had horrible cramps!
