I got my first period today and I want to know what your experience was!

I'm (unfortunately) biologically female
It was an aweful pain in my uterus (thankfully I'm used to all that and I can be quite
I guess I knew what was unfortunately going on
I live alone with my father no mother so we didn't have pads and I could ask ; so I just stuffed my panty with toilet paper.. there.... I know it's gross🤢
I was in math class and I went to the bathroom and my pants were red, so then I had a mini panic attack because I don’t want to grow up or whatever. Anyway I asked my friends what to do and she said email my parents and then go to the nurse so I did that and then later my math teacher yelled at me for going to the bathroom too much.
It was at the start of covid so luckily wasn't at school. I was watching TV and went to the bathroom and saw the blood. I went to my mom and she gave me some pads to put in my bathroom, and that was all.
I was at home thankfully. Just sat watching a film and needed to use the bathroom
Stood up and the seat was stained, was on my trousers and everything I started crying/freaking out but my mum jumped up to help me
Ushered me upstairs and helped me get sorted/taught me how to use the products etc. I was around 8-10 (I can’t exactly remember but I was super early with starting! ) I found the tampons super uncomfortable for the first few days and my flow was very heavy
Hated it but so so glad I was at home with my mum who’s always been the most incredibly supportive woman
First of all, sorry for your first red tsunami ( something i call periods)
I was twelve, and it was the first day of seventh grade. Guess who ruined a new pair of jeans :D
I think I was 12. I was camping with my aunt and I woke up to find my pajama shorts completely drenched in blood. The only available way to stop it was a tampon from my aunt's purse which I promptly put in wrong. Later when we were mountain biking I fell off the seat slightly and it stabbed the tampon weird and it hurt when I peed for the next week. I ruined the five pairs of pants in total.
My continued experience also sucked. A combination of PCOS and hEDS mean I'm in constant pain. My anxiety is through the roof until I'm almost vomiting from it, I get ovarian cysts, there's clots, it feels like my organs are being ripped from my body, and I bleed so heavily that I ruin everything if I don't change the pad every 30 minutes or where one of those absurd extra long night time pads at all times.
I'm now on constant birth control for these reasons... Also wow, I apparently really needed to vent about that.
