I started my period a few days after my birthday in 5th grade. Early January, I guess it must have been. That morning went something like this:
It started when I got up to pee that morning. My mom was in the shower at the time. I wiped and saw red. "Uh, Mom.... I think I started my period..." Mom peeks out of the shower curtian. "Oh my goodness! That's so exciting!"
She fixed me up with a pad meant for a woman much larger, who had had multiple children. Needless to say, it was a lot more pad than I needed. I believe there were a few phone calls to relatives and friends that morning. Later that afternoon, I was taken to get my ears pierced for the first time. My parents had always promised I could get them pierced when I started my period. I was also taken out to a remarkably fancy dinner. At one point my younger brother almost blurted out to the waitress that we were there because I had gotten my first period that morning. About a week later, my Mom threw me a menarche party. She is involved in a women's group, so they all came wearing red scarves and hats and all that stuff. I had a dress that I wore for a renn faire, which my mom had dyed red for me to wear. Everyone brought red presents: scarves, earrings, roses, candles, etc. They also all brought stories. We all sat at a table covered in feminine products, listening to music, eating snacks, and telling period stories. They even had a little ritual for me to welcome and bless my coming of age.

I feel very blessed to have had such a wonderful introduction given to me by my awesome mom. I am and actor and a dancer and very physically active. Aside from the days that have had me in bed and throwing up from the cramps, I have never minded my period at all. I now have eight piercings in my ears( two nipples too). I am also still a virgin, so I've never had sex while menstruating. However, I am on birth control to help with cramps, acne, and irregular periods.
