So I'm twelve and i got my first period last summer. It lasted for like an entire month. After that, I didn't get a monthly period, but in mid February, I saw, what i think was blood or my period starting again. It turned out to only be one day so i have no idea what that was about. For the past week or so, I've been getting brown spots in my underwear so i searched it up and people said that it was the beginning of the period cycle. I have three questions to ask.
1) How come i got my period and then it stopped?
2) About how long does it take after getting brown stuff before your period starts?
3) What do you suggest i do if my period starts and I'm at the beach? I'm going to Hawaii soon and i don't know how to deal with this. Please help.
If your period has only recently begun, then it might take your body quite a while to adjust to a regular, monthly cycle. The brown stuff we call "spotting," and that's just your body trying to figure itself out. It can be a little annoying, but it's perfectly normal. I'd say in a year or two, your period should become more predictable, and you might not have this "spotting" at all.
For the beach, I'd recommend a tampon. I'd say maybe get a small sized one. But if you're only spotting a tiny bit, you might not need anything for that time.
