Share your first menstrual period stories.

My first period occurred during a family vacation. I was on the beach with my family when I noticed something was off. I felt a bit of pain and some wetness. I was so embarrassed because I was in a bathing suit. I quickly ran to the bathroom at a nearby café. I didn't have any pads with me, so I had to use some toilet paper to get by until my mom could bring me a pad from the store. It was really inconvenient and a bit of an awkward situation, but now I look back and laugh at how flustered I was.

My first menstrual cycle was quite a shock. I was at school and suddenly felt a bit strange. I went to the bathroom and saw the blood. I was so scared at first because I didn't really know what was happening. I quickly told my best friend, and she was really helpful. She told me it was normal and that I should tell a female teacher. The teacher was very kind and gave me a pad. It was an embarrassing but also a learning experience.

Common experiences include feeling different emotions all at once. There could be excitement because it's a sign of growing up, but also nervousness. Some girls might notice changes in their appetite around the time of their first period. Mood swings are also a possibility. And then there's the whole aspect of dealing with the physical changes like how to keep clean and comfortable. Many girls have to quickly learn about proper hygiene during this time, which can be a bit overwhelming at first.

Well, for my first postpartum period, I was really unprepared. I had no idea what to expect in terms of flow and pain. It turned out to be heavier than before pregnancy. I had to constantly change my pads. Also, the cramps were more intense. But I managed by taking warm baths and using a heating pad. It was a challenging time as I also had to breastfeed my baby, and it seemed like my body was going through so much all at once.

Well, my first day at school was really nerve - wracking. I remember walking into the classroom and seeing all those new faces. I was so shy that I hardly said a word all day. I just sat at my desk, looking around nervously. But then a kind girl came up to me during recess and asked if I wanted to play with her and her friends. That made me feel a bit more at ease and started my journey of making friends at school.

Well, I once stained my white skirt at school during my first period. I had no idea what was going on and was so confused when a girl pointed it out to me. I was so embarrassed that I ran to the bathroom and stayed there for a long time, not knowing what to do.

My first time getting my period was at home. I was just sitting on the couch, watching TV. All of a sudden, I noticed something different. I was really confused and a bit embarrassed. But my mom had already talked to me about it before. So I just went to get a pad from the bathroom cabinet and told my mom. She gave me a big hug and told me it was a sign that I was growing up.

Well, for me in my first period story, I was really scared at first. I didn't know what was happening. I noticed the blood and thought I was seriously ill. Then my mom found out and she explained everything to me gently. It was a bit embarrassing but also a relief to know it was normal.

Well, once I was at a friend's place and my menstrual cup leaked a bit. I panicked and ran to the bathroom. When I came out, my friend was like 'What happened?' I told her about the cup and we ended up having a good laugh as I explained how it's supposed to be more reliable. It was really embarrassing at first but then it became a funny story we still joke about.

Mine was really unexpected. I was at school and suddenly felt this strange discomfort. I went to the bathroom and saw the blood. I was so scared and didn't know what was going on at first. I ended up asking one of my older classmates, and she helped me out. She gave me a pad and told me it was normal.
