Everyone has a horrible first period.

ugh so true. My first period was the day my youngest sibling was born! We were driving to go see the new baby and me, at age 11.5, was really confused as to why I had such a bad stomachache. I thought maybe I was sick or was anxious or something, despite never being prone to stomach trouble before. Then we get to the hospital and I have to go to the bathroom and oops. I felt so pale all day. My baby sibling was glorious and adorable and still is, but it's still a weird thing to me that my body chose that day, like couldn't it have waited a week? Oh well.

Of course the next several years were "wonderful" with two days a month of pain to the point of vomiting and almost passing out, sometimes along with migraines. Eventually they got less vicious, but yikes.
