I'm just curious. I got mine when I was 14 on St. Patrick's Day, so I can't forget it.

Mine started when I was 12 years old, on the day before 7th grade started. It's been about 7 months since then and I still have difficulties handling it D:

I was ten. Mom noticed before I did, so I didn't have any fear reaction. At that age, if Mom said it was ok, then it was. My symptoms were mild, and also ok by Mom. She tried to explain but I was bored and wanted to go out to play. She asked if I understood - I hadn't been listening but I didn't want her to start all over again, so I said Yes. The *big* shock was when it happened again, the next month. Whaddya mean, every month??? Whaddya mean, until I'm 50???

I was 13.

It was really bad all through my teens and 20s. Then it started to improve. Now its really painful again.

I was 11. Mine started when I was in a uk girls clothing store called Tammy, trying on clothes, lol. I cried, if I remember rightly. I have always suffered badly with them and hate them. They make me feel dirty and smelly, and I get severe PMT symptoms...rage, tearfulness etc.

May 12, 2005. I was 11.

I find it pretty interesting how most people remember the exact date that they got it, though. I'm probably reading into it too much...

I was 12, and in the 6th grade. It was in the spring, and about a month after we had the puberty lesson, where the genders were seperated. In a way that was a good thing because that sample pad came in handy.

Age 8. I didn't really know the specifics of the period back then...

When I got over the "I'm bleeding to death!" thing and knew what it was, I was shocked when it went *away*....because I thought that ince a girl got her period, she continued to have it every day until menopause. When I found out it only came once a month...I was so happy!
