it could well be menarche for you, just put a sanitary napkin in your panties, and check out the following website.

Answer 2

Your period is coming more than likely! Congrats you're a woman!

Answer 3

You may be coming on your period very soon, so wear a pantyliner.

Answer 4

Yeah it has to be your period. i remember when i got mine i totally freaked out and i wasn't sure either. but just tell your mom as soon as you can. and yeah it will start brown. some girls have a really short first time and some take a really long time. like mine was only one full day. but one of my best friends had hers last for about 2 weeks! but don't worry because most girls do not have a heavy flow the first time.

You also might seriously dread it for the first few months (i remember i'd sometimes get so frustrated i'd cry) but after a while you'll get used to it and it won't be that big of a deal anymore.

Good luck with it all:)

Answer 5

Yes, it is your period, and your starting your cycle. Put on a pad and wait until your parents get home, then tell them. I didn't have any cramps either my first time. Congratulations! :)

Answer 6

yes, it can be brown sometimes, and i didnt have cramps til i had my period for about two years, enjoy not having then : P

Answer 7

wear a pad

Answer 8

it's your period!  the flow will probably increase in the next day or so.  just relax!  you may not have cramps.  many women do not experience cramps for the first few years.

Answer 9

wear a pad and watch it, mark it on a calendar because from now on, every dr appt you have they will ask when you last period was. i didnt used to have any cramps, so maybe you wont either.

Answer 10

It is you having your period because when you start it is brown your first time. Some people don't have cramps or bloating etc. consider yourself lucky.  

Answer 11

wear a pad or use tissue paper, works all the time

Answer 12

It's the beginning of your cycle. Your period should come in a few days or less. Congrads :)

Answer 13

Yes, you are probably having your period.

Sometimes the blood is brown or red.  Don't panic.  This is completely normal.  ;)

(Not all girls get cramps when they have their period).

Answer 14

u probably wont get cramps the first few times, but u probably did start most likely.
