Question
i just got my period, well i think i did. it's a brown discharge i think, but it doesnt look anything like blood. do you know what that is?
Answer
Congratulations - I would bet it is your first period. Keep track of it on a calendar, and if it happens on a regular cycle, it is surely your period.
