Things I Wish I had Known Before I had Started My Period

I still remember the day when my mom gave me the talk. I was only 8 years old but my mom wanted me to be prepared in case I started early. She taught me the basics and me and my friend joked around about it but as I turned 13  I felt I was due to start any minute. All the other girls had started theirs in the 6th grade but I wasn't complaining that I was a few years behind. Sadly I eventually did get my period that same year and I am aware that since I'm only 13 some may argue that I don't have enough experience to give anyone advice but it isn't so much experience young girls searching for answers need, it's what can I expect? what are some things I may need to know? I got you girl! Sometimes it may be awkward to ask your mom very TMI questions but in this post we certainly aren't holding back. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments!

 1. It helps to remember dates
Something that I didn't really think much about was when my period started. When you go to your pediatricians to get a check-up they will most likely ask you if you have started your period, if you tell them yes then they will ask you when did it last start.  If you tell them you don't remember your not off the hook.... the last time that I went to get a check-up they pulled out a calendar and told me I had to tell them when I started. They were really nice about it but they won't let you off the hook, so when you start your period mark it on a calendar with a specific color marker ( if you want to keep it a secret) or just write it down in a calendar or an old notebook lying around.

2. DO NOT start with tampons
I'm sure you're rolling your eyes at this one but it really is some of the best advice you can get when it comes to periods. It is really essential that you get comfortable with your period before you start experimenting with ways to stay clean while Aunt Flo is visiting. The best thing to start out with is a classic pad. Pads aren't as uncomfortable as you might think as long as you get the right brand. Playtex and Always are both brands that are my personal favorite because they're very comfortable as far as pads go and they're just an all-around a good place to start.

3. On-brand feminine products really make a difference 
I am one of those people who believe that anything off-brand is 99% of the time works just as good if not better than the on brand stuff that costs double the price. Pads are in that 1%, you just can't trust off-brand when it comes to pads and tampons. Trust me I thought I knew everything and stuck on an
off-brand pad and it wasn't a good experience. First of all, you could definitely hear the pad when I walked and I could not get it to stay in place to save my life. Yes, the on-brand products are more expensive but you are getting a world of difference when it comes to quality.

4. PMS isn't always obvious
Most times in the movies it can seem as though you'll have a stomach cramp and be like....( I'm about to start my period) and then you'll just all of a sudden be aware that your period will start in 8 days and 6 hours. The symptoms sneak up on you, for example, I'll get bloated and think, well It could be because I had dairy, or the new workout I'm trying out and I'm just sore, or...  it's PMS. Although it's often a game of hit or miss there are many apps you can download that help you track your period and when you should start experiencing pre-period symptoms.

5. It's normal to not have a regular cycle when you first start out
When I first started my period it was more like 3 days of discharge mixed with the slightest hint of blood, after that I expected to get a period every month from that point on but I was wrong. A few months passed with nothing then finally I got a normal period and things have been pretty average ever since. My point is is that I would google " Is it normal for you to not get your period for a few months" and the answer I got was you need to see a gynecologist because that is a very serious problem. I just don't want anyone who is just getting used to things freak out because google is telling you that your going to die in 6 months when all it is is your body getting a grip on things and figuring out how this. new process is going to work. Just be patient and don't be in a rush to get a normal flow, enjoy not having to deal with the inconvenience of your lady bits bleeding

  4. i am very happy today to share this amazing testimony on how Dr. Lawson the herbal doctor was able to cure me from my HerpesVirus with his herbal medicine. I have been a herpes patient for almost 8 months now and have tried different methods of treatment to ensure that I am cured of this terrible disease, but none worked for me, so I had to leave
    everything to God to handle as I was a Christian who had faith that one
    day God would intervene in my life, yet I felt so sad and desperate as I was
    losing almost everything due to my illness, A few months ago while I was surfing the internet I saw different recommendation about Dr Lawson on how he have been using his herbal Medicine to treat and cure people, these people advice we contact Dr Lawson for any problem that would help immediately I contacted Dr Lawson and I told him how I got his contact
    and also about my disease, after some time Dr. Lawson Told me to have faith that he would prepare for me a medication of herbal herbs, he told me I would take this medicine for a few weeks and also asked my home for home address so as possible for him to submit the drug for me, so my good friends after all the process and everything Dr Lawson actually sent me the
    medicine, I took it as I was directed by Dr. Lawson , after a few weeks passed, while
    on Dr. Lawson medication I began to experience changes in my body, I had
    to call my doctor at the hospital for some blood test, after test my hospital doctor told me that I was no longer with the herpesvirus and my blood is pretty good, I can not even believe this, Friends well today i am Herpes Free and i want everyone to know that there is a
    cure for herpes for those who will contact Dr Lawson after reading my testimony
    he can still cure all other disease and virus.. you can
    kindly contact Dr.lawson on his IG LINK @dr_lawson9 OR his email dr.lawsonherbalhome@gmail.com
    or whatsapp him +234815 463 5774, ans also here is his website https://drlawsonherbalhome.weebly.com
