Period Questions for a newbie?

[emm]

I just started my period yesterday and its just been all this brown stuff. And what is thatt???
And also when will i get my next one? And will pantyliners be O.K. for my second one?

The brown stuff is normal. The first period, every girl experiences a brownish/reddish tint when they get their period. Nothing to worry about. It's a symbol of you're healthy! Panty lines are not O.K. because they are way to thin. The second WILL be like a normal period so be prepared with pads. It's a start of a long road.

The first period the blood is normally all brown. It's old blood and completely normal. You know when you get a cut and it starts to make a scab? Then after a while the scab turns brown because it's old. You could compare it to that. Pantyliners should be okay, but my second was surprisingly heavy so just be prepared!

The brown stuff is your period. It will change over time. Everyone is different on when their periods starts and ends. And next time you may want to a pad depends on how heavy your flow is.

dont worry its just the lining of your uterus. thats what it will always be but it wont be brown stuff forever its just dried blood clots

First the brown stuff is your first period, your body is getting used to it. You probably have irregular periods so you will not know when your next one is until the sign is turns up again. And it depends how heavy your periods are but i doubt that panty liners would be ok for your second one

 

[I'm just me! :)]

Always wear pads when you're on. Pantyliners are too light. The brown stuff is your blood eventually it will turn red over the next couple of days.

Look up the scientific stuff if you don't know why they happen. Your period will last 3-10 days and your next one will vary. Maybe 28 days and over if you're regular.
If you end up being irregular its unknown.

panyliners are for when you are just spotting. they're super mini and only made to catch a few drops. and brown is normal. the colors range from bright red to dark brown.

i would suggest trying tampons as early as possible, but everyone is different. i started out with pads, but i was always sooo self conscious bout bleeding through.

That is normal, I think every women goes through it. It is basically the lining of the uterus letting you know the egg is released, and you are about to get your period. Just wear a panty liner until your flow becomes heavier. Hope this helps!

the brown stuff is diarrhea--your period should be pink or red
