Answer 1

if you've just started your period there is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT IN TRYING TO TRACK YOUR PERIOD.  because its not going to be regular for a loongg time. besides that if you want the calander method for when you become sexually active its not very effective. and you'll end up pregnant within like a month

Answer 2

Brown spots do not equate to menstruation, you can get these (spotting) for any number of reasons – although I have no doubt it is your period, but generally speaking menstruation isn’t charted unless it is true bleeding, i.e. full menstrual flow (blood). Assume for now that the brown discharge is your period, normally menstruation occurs every month or so however bare in mind that not everyone has the same menstrual cycle so how long yours is can vary greatly.

When you are in your pre-teens or teens because your body is still developing sexually and physically this can affect your periods a lot, so do not expect your periods to become regular until you are in your twenties – still mark these days down, marking down your periods means that after some time you will notice a pattern occurring and soon a regular cycle will appear, some girls also find their periods are regular right from the first period. Marking down these days gives you a better idea when to expect the next period, and it can be useful if your doctor needs to know about your menstrual cycle just in case there are any problems in the future.

FYI joshilover_7307 is a little confused, as a birth control method the ‘rhythm method’ is unreliable, however certain other ‘calendar methods’ such as Fertility Awareness Method [FAM] or Natural Family Planning [NFP] are highly effective forms of birth control, as well as having other advantages for a woman’s health and fertility. Granted I would not in any way shape or form advise a teen to use such methods as birth control, but a teen should be aware of these things rather than given inaccurate information, such methods are also very beneficial for teens – such methods help a girl recognise different affects her cycle has on her body so to better care for her body and understand it, it can point out any fertility/sexual health problems, and can tell her exactly when her next period is due, even if she is irregular.
