Question
I have never been sexually active and i'm only 15 years old. I strangely have not started my period and randomly a few days ago started having brown discharge. Am i just starting my period or is this something else?
Answer
Chances are good this is your first period. Keep a calendar and see if there is a pattern! Congratulations!
