period problem?

Question:

i'm 14, started my period in january, was irregular like any other girl starting for the first time and my flow was pretty regular. (as in the actual flow, with blood, not the time in between) my last period was normal. i started 2 days ago and the first day there was blood, but then it was just the brown discharge, and now i barely have the discharge at all. was it just a short period? will it go back to normal with the next few ones? i don't want to be completely surprised if i start again real soon. (before i'm supposed to)

Answers:
It is rather common for young women to have erratic periods for the first year of menses onset. I think you are smart to be aware of the possibility of having erratic period. It might be a good idea to always carry some pads in your purse,"just in case". And certainly, if your period s don't regulate by Nov. or Dec. see your MD. And just fyi, athletic girls are more inclined to be erratic.

Other Answers:
That's perfectly normal.
Your periods may be like that for some to come.
Relax...it's nothing to be worried about.

I'd keep wearing light pads/tampons for another day, to make sure. But after that, you should be okay. You're still going to be pretty irregular for a while. That sort of thing happens a lot the first year or so; don't be surprised if it happens again.

all i can say is be prepared to be surprised! i am 17 and still dont have regular periods, never know when i am gonna start or how long my period will last but u learn to live with it : ) goodluck!

If the brown discharge was short in duration and is gone, likely whatever caused it has also cleared up. Expect the next periods to be normal. If they're not then there could be cause for some concern, in the meantime wearing a light tampon would be fine just in case it starts again.

Always best to be prepared.

It happens normal to everyone.Sometimes it means that you don't have enough food or maybe you don't have all the classes of food.What you should do is eat regularly and eat more vegetables.Sometimes,I have this problem too.

you should buy pantie shields because my first year my period was kinda crazy and it was not regular it was like how you described walk around with pads and tampons... good luck
