Period for the first time today

I just got my period today for the first time, and it is so heavy, I’ve had to change my tampon 3 times because its been leaking through. (yes the tampon is inserted correctly) its also really thick and a deep purple color.. Is this normal?

Answer #1

No that is not normal? It should be either dark red blood or brownish in color. I would consider going to the ER or calling your doctor, that is a lot of blood to be loosing and I’m not sure about the color of it.

Answer #2

Hmm, I’d see your doctor. If the blood is purple, that’s not normal. I’m not sure about the tanpans but, you should see your doctor and talk to your mom about it. When starting your period for the first time, you’re going to flow a bit heavier which that’s what I did when I first started when I was 11 turning 12. The blood is red or some brownish color. Being purple, Hmm, that’s questionable. The doctor can find out if you tell what’s been going on.

Answer #3

What size tampon are u using? Supers or the Juniors for young girls? I’m a little concerned with the color and amt esp if you are using the Supers and are leaking through. Over how many hrs has it taken you to go through 3 and how long does it take for 1 to fill and leak through??

Give your Dr a call and they will be asking you the same thing about length of time and all that so have that info ready. The color is questionable to me. Give them a call, but if you are still seeing a pediatrician then call and talk to a nurse at any OB/GYN —a obstetrician/gynecologist. They deliver babies,prenatal care,etc/ pap smears, deal with womens reproductive health. Find one and tell them what is going on.

Answer #4

Answer #5

you should talk to your parents
