hi there,

When you first get your period, it is very normal for it to be irregular. the brown stuff in your underwear is old blood that has been in your uterus for a time and is then coming out, nothing to be worried about. If this continues for another 6 months, I would call your doctor. If you are really uncomfortable with it, you can see your doctor whenever you want. Just to let you know, the average age to ger your period is 12 years, so you're right on track! (referring to "already started my period")

Take care,
