What are the signs when you get your period?

Question

When your period isn't regular, and it's late and you have no idea when it will start, will your body ALWAYS give you a sign letting you know you're going to start? Cause I started my period for the first time on July 23rd 2008, i was suppose to have my second period on august 20th, but I still didn't get it yet and I have no idea when i'm going to start ! Some people say that you have signs, like cramps and being bloated, but for some reason, i have been having the cramps and being very bloated, but i still never started !! So can anyone tell me what it will feel like about 1 hour or so before you're going to start? ( I really need to know, because if i'm a month late, i can't wear a pad everyday ! I will just waste them and it'll cost a lot !! And i can't go without one, cause if i don't get a sign before I start, than the blood will stain my underwear and possibly my jeans, and i don't want that to happen, especially if i'm at school.)

Thanks .. ;)

wow i know you too well!

that just happened to me. i was suppsed to get it on the 20th, and i have been having cramps, discharge, really bad mood swings. and the works.

well of course todays my birthday and i get it TODAY! like woohoo.

all i know is last night i was crying because i knoew i was gonna have a s.hitty day today, then i was crying of happiness because someone on a TV show had a baby and i was happy for them lmao. (haha im weird :) lol) i had cramps, and a headache.

so just wear a pantiliner and go to the washroom frequently to check and bring a pad ith you wherever you go!

good luck! :)
