Question
I just turned 11 in June, and starting on October 1, I got some brown stuff on my underwear(I still have it today). I was very suprised and was not sure if my period may begin quite soon. Is this normal? I have gotten yellow or white discharge already for the past year. Please help me from being confused!

Chances are good that you have started your period. Keep a calendar. Add a dot or something on the days you have the discharge and see if there is a cycle, like if it happens again in about 28 days. Congrats!
