how old were you when you got your 1st period?

i was 11. my mom told me she had it at 13.

did you freak out? or were you expecting it at any day?

  I was 13. I was told about it a little before I started. I went to the bathroom and saw blood. My mom came to the bathroom she handed me a pad and said , "Oh, you'll be getting hair down there too". I was wondering WTF was going on with hair in weird places. I also remember being mortified that one morning I woke up and there was blood on the bed sheets. My little sis screamed that I was bleeding and ran to tell my parents.

  I was 12, I was expecting it, praying for it, because all of my friends already had theirs . Unfortunately I was at a picnic wearing WHITE shorts.

  I was 13 and was going to the park with my new boy friend - how embarrassing. My daughter who has just stared is 10.

  I must've been 11 or 12.. cannot recall. I knew about it before, fortunately, because of sex ed. My mom had given me a couple of books to read as well, .. I recall the first line of one of those 2 little books my mom gave me to read started off chapter one; "It's time for a little girl to put those dolls away.. and grow into a woman.." (or something 'dumb' like that! LOL!) I don't know why I have that particular memory... but I DO know, I've had uncomfortable cramps from day ONE. Sucks!

  I was 11. Was so relieved to have a hysterectomy in my early 40's. "Thank goodness I don't have to put up with THAT any more"!!!!

  I was 12 1/2 and my mom had never told me anything. Luckily, we were shown "the film" in 6th grade. It happened at school and I went home not knowing how to face my mom. I said, "I saw this film last year at school and I did it." End of story
