Question
I am 11 years old and I do not have my period. But I got this weird gooey brown stuff in my underwear. Is that normal? And I do not have any health problems or anything.
Answer
Well I suggest you mark the days that you get the weird gooey brown stuff in your underwear on a calendar and then see if there is a pattern. Chances are good that your body is just getting ready and you might start your period soon. You might also keep track of really cranky moods, headaches or a sore back, as these things tend to start happening before the actual bleeding, too! Good luck and no worries!
