I think I might start my period soon.?

Question

1. My stomach looks a little more 'fat' than usual and I have put on two pounds :/ I've heard that you put on weight when your due on.

2. Yeah I have gone through all the stages of puberty except periods.

3. I have like just started getting armpit hair since like 3 months ago.

4. Recently I have noticed that I am getting more discharge.

5. Mood swings. - Not too sure what they are but I think I have been getting them. I yelled at my mum the other day then felt really bad and started crying < That really is nothing like me at all.

And yesterday I was just singing to myself then all of a sudden I started getting really emotional about people dying etc.

6. The tops of my legs are achey if i bend down. Or go to sit down.

Are these signs if so.. I have been thinking about what if I started while I was at school. Should i just wear a pad everyday just incase.

Tell me what you think.

My mum started around this time too.

Oh and my mum doesnt get cramps so i'm not expecting them either.

Answer 1

Yes, I think you might be starting your period soon.  You have all the &quot;symptoms,&quot; and usually girls get their period around the same time as their mothers.  But, my mom always gets cramps and I don&#039;t... so you may, or you may not.  It depends on your body, your hormones.  

But I think you should wear a pantyliner, or a light pad everyday just in case you happen to get it in school.  Usually the first time you get it, it is very light.  And brown, so if it&#039;s brown don&#039;t worry about it.  It&#039;s just dried blood that has been gathering in you for a while.  

Good luck!  Hope I could help!  :)

Answer 2

It would not hurt to wear a pantyliner to ease your mind about starting in school.  But, don&#039;t be such a rush.  All this energy wasted on the list of symptoms and all the worrying.  Just forget about it.  It happens when it happens.  No big deal.  

Answer 3

first you and your mom are not going to be the same so you are going to get cramps. the only way for me to know when i got mine was when it happened. i was at old country buffet and i just felt a hot liquid run down my pants and i knew i was peeing! so i excused myself went to the wash room at BOOm

Answer 4

You sound very close to starting. Don&#039;t wear a pad, because it would be wasteful if you didn&#039;t get it and then wore pads everyday. I think you should wear pantyliners everyday for a week. If the symptoms are still there, but you haven&#039;t started, then keep wearing them. If the symptoms go away stop wearing, and if you get your period switch to pads. Just make sure to check your undies often enough. I know someone who got bad cramps during her period, but her mom never did, so she thought she was faking, until once she got really bad cramps. Don&#039;t expect to be the same as your mom.
