Period..

[Bloomerxo]

Well I haven't got my period yet and I'm 14, nearly 15 I am quite sporty and for a couple of months I have been experiencing really bad cramps in my stomach..lately I have noticed a brown discharge on my under wear and when I go to the bathroom and wipe its on the tissue...I didn't take much notice at first but then got a bit worried I don't really want to say anything to anyone but can someone please tell me what is happening? Thanks

I agree with the others.  First periods are often just brown discharge.

When you say "lately",  Bloomerxo - do you mean in the last few days,  or do you mean on and off for weeks?  If it's in the last few days,  chances are that's your first period.  If so,  your next ones will probably be more normal with heavier red flow.  

Best wishes.   Can you talk to your mother about this,  or do you have older sisters?

It does sound like the early starts of your periods coming on.  Brown discharge is menstrual fluid that has stayed in the uterus for a little while before coming out.  A lot of women who have regular periods have brown on their first day and then red after that, but a lot of girls just beginning their periods have couple of months of just some light discharge that is brown, only.  You're on track.

Thanks for that:)
