Answer 1

it hurts, well, for the first day. sometimes it hurts so bad that you don't even wanna move. yeah, its normal to have it late, i know some people who only started when they were 16. have your mom buy you some tampons for the pool party. if you're a virgin, it'll kinda hurt to put it in though. pads wont help in the pool, because the blood will get in the water. i would just tell your mom, she'll understand.

Answer 2

The stomach ache you are feeling, is most likely cramps. Many women get cramps, headaches, lower back pains, and sometimes cravings. That's what happens to me. I also crave chocolate really bad, too. Sometimes before my period, I would get anxiety. It sucks. No, it's not unusual to get your period at 14/15. Every woman's body is different. I also got my period for the first time when I was 14 years old. If I were you, I would wear a tampon, especially if you're going swimming. If they are uncomfortable for you, wear pads, or the very thin tampons. You can even just wear tampons when you go swimming. By the way, just tell your mom. She's your mom, and can give you advice about periods, and all that fun stuff. lol You'll be fine, it's part of life. Every woman goes through this.

Answer 3

Stomach cramps & discomfort can be caused by food poisoning or gas, not just your period.



One surefire way to know if you've gotten your period is there will be blood coming from your vagina - it may be a brownish color or different shades of red. It may be just a little thin pinkish stain or there could be a lot of it. If you're thin and very active, it can delay having your period - but girls can start anytime between 9 years old & 17 or 18 - especially gymnasts.



Please, talk to your mom. She's a woman, and she had you, so it means she had a period (or is still having a period) at some point in her life. She may be upset that you didn't talk to her about it sooner, but she won't be mad at you for starting your period. It's not like you've done it on purpose - it just happens. She'll be the best source of advice for what kind of hygiene product to use, too.



There are no food problems, really. You may be more sensitive to strong flavors and odors during your period - or some foods may upset your stomach more than when you're not on your period. Some foods may also taste better - usually salty foods and chocolate :D

Answer 4

Tell your mom, she should be helpful. She has been expecting it to come eventually, it happens to all girls. I doubt she will freak. If you are particularly skinny then it's not unusual for your period to come so late. I got mine when I was just about to turn 14. If you want to swim, use a tampon. It doesn't hurt and most people like them a lot better than pads because sometimes they feel wet and uncomfortable. Nothing with food should change your period at all. Some people get upset stomachs on their periods (including me) so you can take some tums/aleve to relieve the symptoms. Good luck :)

Answer 5

Aw im the same age but had my period way earlier :(.

Anywhoo..

I wear pads because i dont feel comfortable with sticking a tampon up my vagina.

I really dont. I've tried it, but i rather stick with a pad, espacially if your going to a party-PADS.

Because i CANNOTT dance with **** stuck up in my vagina.

But Yes you have your period./

Congrats!. lols your growing up hun:)

but as for the pool party...um i usually swim with my pad because i just dont care. This is what you should do ..wel its what i do.

I take a shower, or make sure my vagina is veryy clean, imediatly put a clean comfortable Extra long Wings pad on, jump right in the pool, then 3-5 min later, i stop bleeding:)

Then i run real quick to the bathroom , take the pad off, and Jumpp back in the water:).

Because when your in water, you stop bleeding.

You can try and do that with a tampon if you want.

Infact you can just swim with your tampon if you want.

idk wahtever you feel is more comfortable for you!

I wish you the best of luckk :))

Answer 6

if there's not blood when you wipe, then you're not on your period.

if there is blood, then you are on your period.

stomach aches don't necessarily mean you're on your period. you could just have an upset stomach.



if you are on your period, and you want to swim tomorrow, use a tampon.

MAKE SURE you read directions on how to insert it CAREFULLY.

it will take some time your first time, so maybe practice or something?

always make sure your inserting it at an angle. it may hurt the first time, but after that, it doesn't hurt. trust me. good luck!



but you may wanna take some advil and drink some water for your nausea and stomach ache.

also, don't worry about it being late. i was the last girl in my grade to get my period.



if your mom is the type who will freak out about you wearing a tampon, just don't tell her until after you wear it. i had to wear one for a dance performance, and i told my mom 3 days later. she freaked out a lot (because according to her, you lose your virginity when you wear a tampon), so my sister told her to calm down, and said that wearing a tampon doesn't no longer make you a virgin, and if my mom asked her gynecologist, she'd look stupid.



good luckkkk.



also, if you have an older sister or friend who wears tampons, maybe call them if you're having trouble while inserting it.

i had to call my sister and my best friend and they both helped a lot.

Answer 8

lots of people get theirs that late and tell your mom now trust me! i didnt tell mine for a while and i regret it. ask your mom to get you some tampons and pads and practice putting in a tampon before the pool party because you cant wear a pad in the pool, haha.

Answer 9

tampons would work better than a pad cause the pad will get soggy an wet wich the tampon will be in your vagaga an wont fall out if u insert it right

Answer 10

Tampons and if it's really heavy just put a pad underneath and yeah you probably did just get it

Answer 11

you should tell your mom and use tampons so red will not come in the pool and then afterwards use pads if ur not comfortable with tampons
