Hey Springster! You do not have to be worried or confused about this. You just need to start taking note of all of these from your next period since you do not remember the last one. We hope this helps

Hey Dricks9000! Thanks for the comment. Congratulations on this girl! Since you just started, your cycle is not yet fully defined. However, what you can do is to take note of the date you started and the date you ended. Do this for another 3 months and then, you will be able to understand and define your menstrual cycle. We hope this helps

Hey jayniz! Thanks for the comment. Periods come with pain/cramps and it can be really uncomfortable as nobody likes pain but getting your period means growth. You can try any of these easy solutions to stop the pains; have a hot bath, place a hot water bottle on your tummy, take a walk or take some painkillers as prescribed by a doctor or certified pharmacist. However, if the pain persists, please talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Hey Springster! If you had sex without a condom, it is very possible for you to get pregnant. Also, pregnancy is not the only risk involved when you have unprotected sex, you are also prone to having STDs/STis and also HIV. You need to go to the hospital to get tested. Please note that if you must have sex, always use a condom. We hope this helps

Hey kellybarbie! Thanks for opening up to ask this question. There are various reasons for irregular periods as it is called. We suggest you try eating healthy (more fruits and vegetables). Cut down the sweets, biscuits, soft drinks and other types of junk. Sometimes, what you eat affects things like your menstrual cycle. Also, please talk to a trusted adult around you and if possible, see a doctor. We hope this helps

Hey erella! When we say monthly cycle, what we mean is either 21 days or 35 days (depending on your cycle). It does not have to start on the 1st of the month and end on the last day. It can start at the end of the month but as long as it lasts up to 21 or 35 days as the case may be with your menstrual cycle, that is all that matters. What you need to do is to track your period using a calendar to know how long your cycle is. Please note that menstrual cycles last from 21 -35 days depending on the individual. So if someone's cycle is for 21-28 days, she is likely to see it twice a month sometimes (not all the time). If she sees it twice every month, please advise her to talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Hey fweeshy! In calculating your period/menstrual circle, note that the first day of your period is also the first day of your menstrual circle and the last day of your period is not the last day of your circle but the last day of your period. The duration/flow depends on the individual. The last day of your cycle is the day before your next period starts. For example, if your period started on the 1st of April and your next period starts on the 3rd of May, your cycle will be 2nd of May. This means that your cycle lasts for 31 days. Your new cycle starts again from the 1st day of your next period. Please note that your period can be delayed at sometimes and can also come earlier than normal. We hope this helps.

Hey Lena! There is nothing wrong with that and you shouldn't be afraid. Menstrual cycles last from 21 -35 days depending on the individual so you are safe and there is nothing wrong with you okay? We hope this helps.

Hey Ritkama! Thanks for the comment. You can figure it out by noting the next day it comes and the day it ends in a calendar (real calendar or with your phone). Do this for 3 months and we are sure that you will be able to get proper and accurate data. We hope this helps

Hey omotayo! Thanks for the comment. Nothing is wrong with you dear. Not everyone starts menstruating as early as 13. You still have some time as you are still young. Don't worry yourself, you have a long time to experience these things so before it comes, enjoy yourself. Stop worrying yourself okay? Your period will come soon. We hope this helps.

Hey Grace! Thanks for the comment. What you see on your pant is called vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge is not bad neither is it a sickness. It is PERFECTLY NORMAL. There are times in your menstrual cycle that you are meant to be dry but your pant is not always meant to be dry. There are different types of discharge that are normal for girls; White - this is common at the beginning & end of your cycle. Clear & stretchy - this is also called "fertile" discharge and it indicates that you are ovulating. Clear & watery - this does not come at a particular time. It can show up at any time in your cycle. These discharge occur at different times in a girl's menstrual cycle and they do not show at the same time. We hope this helps.
