Question
I'm 13 and I think I started my period. I had cramps, then the day afterwards I had blood, but it was a tiny amount and I mean tiny. It was the first time and I'm a bit uncertain. I appreciate the help in advance.
Answer
Well, congratulations if it was your first period! I suggest you mark the calendar and then see if it happens again. Everyone is different and there is no way for me to know, but a "cycle" will be the clue.
