Question
I am 13 years old and i do not have my period yet. every few weeks there are brown spots all over my underwear. when i wipe huge amounts of odorless stringy brown goop comes out. is it serious and could it possibly be my period? this has happened a few times and i am extremely freaked out. PLEASE HELP.
Answer
Sounds a little scary, but it is probably just your body getting ready or even having a period. Print a calendar off the Internet and keep track of the days this happens - to see a cycle, then see your doctor. Good luck!
