So, it was January 23rd, 2022. I was 11. and I started having extreme stomach and back pains. I went to my mom and told her that I had a stomach ache. She informed me that I was probably getting my period. Don't judge, but I stuck my finger up there to see if there was blood. Spoiler alert: there was.
I told my best friend I thought I was going to start and put on a pad. A few hours later, I checked and there was no blood, so I thought I was being dramatic. I even told my friend that I was probably wrong. I went to bed with the pad still on just in case. I woke up and checked, to be sure. And, you'll never guess, there was a good amount of BLOOD! So yup, January 24th, a regular morning before school, was my first.
