Girls!

ahem...ahem...ahem... isn't this a [SIZE=8pt]little[/SIZE] to personal to you...

but...



is how i'll be when i get mine

I don't have 3 holes in my but. Only one at the very front and one at the very back. Please help me.

Just like Kalien said, irrelgular bleeding is normal for quite a few months after you start your periods... It can even get irregularity for a year or two. I've known people who've had their first period at 13 and at 15 had only had one or two periods each year. Lol, they are the lucky ones! They do straighten out in time. After a year or so though if you are having problems with the pattern you may wish to see a doctor. I.e. bleeding after two weeks, then four, then three, then two, then three so you are bleeding more often than not. The vasty majority do straight out on their own after a few months though.
Have a look at this page: https://kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/g...nstruation.html

It is called All About Menstruation though if you scroll down there is a section called How Often Does a Girl Get Her Period? Have a read of that.

Thank you, but the problem is I've not started my period! Is that normal? I'm not sure though it could have been a period but why did I only bleed for an hour?

Rest assured you definately have three holes! If you can, grab a mirror and have good look!

Have a look at this diagram: https://www.avert.org/media/images/girlsorg.gif

It shows roughly what you will see. If you have never had sex or used a tampon then the middle hole (the vaginal opening) may be really quite small and hard to see. Make sure you really spread things out... may seem a bit icky but it is important to know what your body is like anatomically, especially seeing this is the same hole where you will be putting in tampons.

Sometimes a first period can appear as just a few little spots in underwear that doesn't repear for the couple of months. Others start off with a profuse bleed! It all depends on the individual. What I am saying is that it is not uncommon to getting "spotting" or very light bleeding that lasts for less than a day the first few times around.

Having said that, if it wasn't in your underwear and was something that you wiped away it could be blood from a small tear in the anus after passing a hard poo or something along those lines. If it was in your underwear and it wasn't after urination or defecation then it probably is your period.

You may not know for sure until it comes again. But, don't be alarmed if it doesn't show up again for a couple months.

*sigh* my periods due next couple days

Thanks Bellsprout! ^_^

Even though it does seem quite personal, I actually got my 1st one a few days ago.

Rites Of Passage

Getting your period is a sign of maturity or coming-of-age-a cause for celebration! In America, coming-of-age ceremonies are rare because many girls are raised to think that they should talk about their periods only in private. Recently, some American families have tried to change this by honoring a girl's first period with a special dinner, a card of congratulations, or even a candlelit ceremony. But for hundreds of years, many cultures have publicly celebrated menstruation, acknowledging it as an important sign of female maturity and fertility-without which human life would come to an end!

- Native American Ceremonies

* Among the Navajo there is a coming-of-age ceremony called kinaalda. Young girls run footraces to show their strength. They also bake a huge cornmeal pudding for the whole community to taste. During the ceremony girls wear special clothing and arrange their hair to imitate the goddess Changing Woman.

* The Nootka Indians of the Pacific Northwest consider a girl's first period a time to test her physical endurance. She is taken way out to sea and left there. She must then swim back to shore on her own, where she is greeted and cheered by the whole village.

* The Mescalero Apaches consider the female puberty ceremony a most important celebration in their tribe. Each year an eight-day event honors all girls who started their period that year. It begins with four days of feasting and dancing. Boy singers recount the tribe's history with songs each night. A four-day private ceremony follows, in which the girls reflect on the changes in their bodies and their passage into womanhood.

- Australia

Among the Aborigines of Australia, a girl is treated to the tradition of "love magic" when she gets her first period. The women of the tribe sing and teach her about the female powers and the physical changes that mark womanhood.

- Japan

When a Japanese girl gets her first period, her family throws a big party. Family and friends are invited but are not told why they are celebrating. When the girl's family brings out a tray bearing a decorated pear, a candied apple, or red-colored rice and beans, the secret reason for the party is revealed.

- Micronesia

The tribe of Ulithi calls a girl's rite of passage kufar. When a girl begins her first period, she must go to a menstrual house. She is joined by women of the village, who bathe her and recite magic spells. She will always return to the menstrual house during her period.

- Nigeria

The Tiv tribe literally mark a girl at the time of her first period. Four lines are cut into her abdomen. The remaining scars represent her womanhood and are thought to make her more fertile.

- Sri Lanka

When a girl gets her first period in Sri Lanka, the exact time and day are noted. An astrologer is consulted who predicts many things about the girl's future based on the time and the alignment of the stars. The family then prepares their house for a ritual bathing, in which the women of the family wash the girl's hair and scrub her all over. She then puts on new white clothes from her underwear to her shoes. Printed invitations are sent for a party where gifts and money are presented to the girl.

Interesting, huh? I like the Japanese and Sri Lanka celebrations

Yeah... it is weird...

i didn't but i so can't wait!!!will it hurt?

Excluding a few cramps now and again (that's PMs, which is pre-menstruation symptoms), I don't think it will hurt. (Unless you keep a tampon in for too long. Then you'll get really sick and it hurts.)

A special tip for anybody nervous to get their period:

It's OK to be nervous; you aren't alone. I was nervous (kinda) when I got my period.

Ehh... that came out wrong.

This seems like a helpful topic to me!

You are right... the bleeding itself doesn't hurt. It is the cramping associated that is painful. The uterus starts trying to push the blood out and these contractions can be quite painful if they are strong. The stronger they are the more likely you are to bleed a lot because your body is trying to push a lot out of blood. Having said that, not everybody experiences cramps. It all depends upon the individual.

Have a look here: https://kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/g...nstruation.html

Scroll down to the section called Cramps, PMS and Pimples. It explains a little more about cramping.

I noticed something about this diagram that made me kind of uneasy. After I saw this, I checked myself and noticed that my ehm, clitoris is below my urethral opening. Is that bad? ' I had a pap-smear about a year and a half ago and they didn't say anything about it but it still concerns me a little bit. x.x

If you have been feeling fine and have not noticed anything you should be alright!
