Question
I got my fist period a few months ago and it was kinda heavy and gooey. After that first month, I only got brown spotting instead of what I first got. It is REALLY light but it's every month I am not sexually active. Could something be wrong?
Answer
Sounds perfectly normal, so count your lucky stars. Being regular is good -- suggests your hormones are all happening, but if you are worried, you can always go in and chat with your doctor.
