period

I never know when my first one was going to start because I never had it explained to me. (It was a bit traumatic to say the least, I literally thought I was dying I had no clue what was going on)

Anyways fast forward a few years and i can usually tell almost to the day. I get very moody and emotional due to PMS. I also bloat up and sometimes get zits on my face or ulcers in my mouth. I'm just weird like that, everyone is different.

My mom said mine would probably come very soon

do you get cramps before or after your first period???

You can get them before. Basically cramps are the euterus muscles expelling the lining. After giving birth 4 times I can say sometimes it seems similar to childbirth contractions!

o

because I've been getting cramps

once, I lost the ability to walk because of that

And 4 TIMES??!?! WOAH

Could be coming. Are you excited, nervous? All of the above?

Ngl, I kinda feel excited but depressed

I hear ya

Yea

I think the first time is unusually painful, if it's painful like that every month I'd get checked out, there's remedies to help.

O ok

After a while you can kind of sense it. Your body starts following patterns, emotions may occur, plus if it's regular, you can estimate when your next one is.

Once you start, it'll be irregular (probably) but it gets easier to track as time goes on.

oooooooooo

but I'm nearly 13 and a bunch of girls on imgflip (even ones younger than me) have theirs already???

Girls can get them at all different ages. I got mine at ten, some get them in their later teens. Don't rush it. You probably have plenty of time to live with the beautiful utter heck that's periods. Don't sweat it. :-)

o okee!! thanks

lol
