First Time Getting My Period: What Were Your Initial Reactions?

I was a bit confused at first. I knew it was going to happen someday but when it did, I was like 'oh, this is it'. And then I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness because it was a sign of growing up.

I was terrified at first. I thought I was seriously ill or something was really wrong with my body.

My initial reaction was shock. I grew up in a rather traditional family, and the idea of being attracted to a girl was so foreign to me. I tried to deny my feelings at first, thinking it was just a phase. But as time passed, I couldn't ignore it anymore. It was like there was this voice inside me that kept saying this was who I really was.

My first time getting my period was at home. I had noticed some changes in my body before, like a bit of pain in my lower abdomen. Then one morning, I woke up and there it was. I was a bit confused but also kind of excited in a way because I knew it meant I was becoming a woman. My mom had already talked to me about it, so I knew what to do. I went to her and she gave me all the supplies and some good advice about taking care of myself during that time.

My first period was quite a surprise. I was at school. I felt a bit of discomfort in my lower abdomen all day. When I went to the bathroom during lunch break, I saw the blood. I was so embarrassed. I had to ask my friend for a pad. She was very understanding and helped me through it. After that, I learned to always carry some pads with me.

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.

The initial feeling for me was a bit of confusion. I didn't know what was happening to my body. There was a lightheadedness that came on suddenly.

The first time I got my period, I was at a sleepover at my friend's house. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling really strange. When I saw the blood, I panicked. I was too shy to tell my friend or her mom. I ended up trying to wash my underwear in the sink as quietly as possible. It was a really nerve - wracking experience.

I was at school when I got my first period. I had no idea what was happening and I was wearing white pants. I suddenly felt a wetness and when I went to the bathroom, I was so horrified. I didn't have any pads with me and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I ended up tying my sweater around my waist to hide the stain and waiting until school was over to go home and deal with it.

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.
