Kaybrynne LeighAnne Smith:Why is there blood on my underwear? Are there problems with my bladder?? Am I dying?
Suzanne:
No, Kaybrynne, you aren't dying. This is something every girl goes through once in her life. It is called a menstrual cycle, and from now on it will probably happen once a month. The beginning of a woman's menstrual cycle (Commonly called a period), are very different , some girls have light first periods, others not. So even for some months they can be light or heavy in blood. It will most likely take as long as one year after the first one to be stable in occurrence and amount of blood. It sucks, but it will be with you for the rest of your life, until you go through menopause.
