What is a period????

When will my first period come?? Since you first heard the word "period," you've probably been wondering what it is and when you'd get your first period. Although most girls get their first period between 11-14 years old, you could start your period anywhere from 8-17 years old.You could narrow that down by taking clues from your body. During puberty, when your body becomes sexually mature, you'll have some of these changes that show your period's on its way. (By the way, these changes may happen in a different order than listed here.)Developing Breasts. First, you'll get breast "buds". (Your breasts then can take up to 3-4 years to fully develop.) Generally you will get your period 2-3 years after your breasts start developing. Growing Pubic Hair. Right after your breasts start to form, you'll start developing pubic hair. It will be soft and thin at first, then gradually become coarser. Your period usually arrives around 1-2 years after the hair development. Discharge. This is the big sign. You'll start to experience vaginal discharge that will be either white or yellowish. If you like, you may want to start using Alldays Pantiliners to protect you underwear. You period should start around 6-12 (but up to 18) months after the start of discharge. There's one more way to figure out when you'll start menstruating: Ask your mom. You'll probably get your period within a year or so of when she got hers.Since you'll only have a general idea of when you'll get your period, you might want to do some planning.Most girls will use pads at least for their first period. Your first period will probably be fairly light so Always Thin Maxi Regular or Always Thin Ultra Regular would be a good choice of pad. If you are physically small, you may want to consider Always Thin Ultra Slender. It's a good idea to keep a pad or two hidden in your locker at school, and carry another in your backpack. This way you won't be caught off guard when it does happen.
Relax, you will get your period, and you'll have them for a long time!

Hey!

Heya Girls!
My name is Rose Codd and my BFF Lucy has added me to help with her blog that aims to help you with all your problems, and I am so excited to be apart of this amazing blog! :D
Before I jump into giving you girls advice, I just wanted to say hey and tell you a bit about myself.
Well like I said my Name is Rose Codd. I live in Glasgow with Lucy and I've known her for about a year and she is absolutely an amazing person to know and would be impossible to live without! Although I  live in Glasgow I actually used to live in Texas but I moved over here last year. I really  miss it but Glasgow is really nice and my friends like Lucy are absolutely amazing.
There's not much elses to really say about myself except that after I talk it through with Lucy I might have a question and answer bit on this... Maybe if you girls would like that just please let us know.
So yeah.. that's it. Please wish me good look and I look forward to posting some helpful info.
Love
Rose <3
