Question
I am 14 and just got my first period last month. It stopped for about 2 weeks ago and I am getting vaginal discharge that looks normal. But a few days ago, I am getting vaginal discharge with a little blood in them. Is this normal?
Answer
Sometimes when you first start having periods, and even the first year, your schedule is not regular. Probably nothing to worry about. Keep a little calendar of days you see real period and days that have a little spotting - so you can explain it to a doctor if you need to see her.
