    Question

    This is kinda nasty. Anyway, I have not had my period yet. I'm 13, and I get discharge. When I took my undies off I saw brown stuff. I smelled it (yes, gross) and it smelled like my regular discharge. I read that it could be blood, but it said AFTER my period, and as I said I haven't had mine yet. Please help.

    Answer

    This is likely your period, so put a pad in your undies and mark your calendar. Keep track of how long it lasts, and then see how many days it is until it starts again. Congrats.
