I was 10 or 11. I just remember my mom panicking because she thought I was too early.

I don't remember! I think maybe 6th grade? I was spending the weekend with my grandparents & was horribly traumatized by the big old lady pads. I think I have blocked it all out......

I seriously thought something was wrong with me because I was so late! I was 16 almost 17 and honestly thought about seeing a dr but was too embarassed to talk to my mom about it.

 Same here - I was 10, and my mom freaked out more than I did.

I was 11 and it was on New Years Eve. NYE is a big celebration and gathering in my family, so everyone knew. I was in the bathroom and saw the dark mess on my undies. For some reason my mom walked in on me, saw my undies, and we started arguing about what it was. I was in total denial and thought I had pooped my pants. Lol!

I was 12 and it was the first day of our week-long vacation at the beach.  I told my mom and she had nothing but tampons, so she sent my dad to the store for pads.  I was mortified.  Then, to make matters worse, he tried to have this awkward congratulations/"you're a woman now" conversation with me.  I'm not sure who was more embarrassed, him or me.  Embarrassed

I am surprised some people did not get it until age 16. This makes me think of that Judy Blume book. Her period was all the girl wanted. I think it was called, "Are you there God, It's me Margaret."

 


After 5 years fighting the infertility battle, we are letting go and answering a long desired call to adoption. I am so excited!

I was at least 12, but I think I was 13. I remember thinking it would start when I was 11 because of the movie My Girl. hah

I was 12 and it was summer.  I remember the day before I was wearing a bathing suit and when I took it off I saw a small brown spot.. I thought.. "could it be?".. the next day I started and when my Mom came home from work I said in a grumpy low voice.. "I got my period today.. " she smiled huge and said.. "OH! Really!! do you know where everything is?? " I said "yep" and walked away.. that was the extent of that.  I remember two girls in my class came over and I told them and they were super excited and thought I was so "cool" haha.
