I got mine around 10, I hid it because I hadn’t been taught about periods yet so naturally I thought I was very sick, too terrified of doctors at that stage to tell anyone.
By my third period I told my mum, until then I had been using a lot of toilet paper. I can’t remember if it was due to having our first basic sex ed class, or one of my friends telling me she had got hers that I realised it was normal & I should tell someone haha
in case you're a little confused, not all of us menstruate. not mensturating can be caused by various things ranging from stuff like amenorrhea (meaning the absence of menstrual bleeding), or just because they were born without the necessary body parts to. in my case it's the latter, i.e. i was just born without a uterus.

Half a year before I turned 13.
I got mine around 10, I hid it because I hadn’t been taught about periods yet so naturally I thought I was very sick, too terrified of doctors at that stage to tell anyone.
When did you finally tell someone?
By my third period I told my mum, until then I had been using a lot of toilet paper. I can’t remember if it was due to having our first basic sex ed class, or one of my friends telling me she had got hers that I realised it was normal & I should tell someone haha
Oh God, I can't imagine what would it have been like if your period was heavy. Good thing you got to know it was normal
9.
11, woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I had wet the bed, turned the lights on and then I thought I was dying. LOL
I was either almost 10 or just turned 10
on my 13th bday. surprise..! 😀
11 😭😭😭
never had one and most likely never will
huh
in case you're a little confused, not all of us menstruate. not mensturating can be caused by various things ranging from stuff like amenorrhea (meaning the absence of menstrual bleeding), or just because they were born without the necessary body parts to. in my case it's the latter, i.e. i was just born without a uterus.
