Most girls start their periods between the ages of 12 years and 14 years, but some start earlier or later. When you first start having your period, it may last only a few days. Your first few periods may be very light. You may only see a few spots of reddish brown blood. Anywhere from 2 to 7 days is normal.
1 On average, a cycle lasts about 28 days, but itâs quite normal to have a shorter or longer cycle. 2  So your cycle will probably be normal for you even if it is 21 days long, or 35 days! â 3 Day 1â of a cycle is the first day of bleeding, the first day of a period.4  This bleeding is called menstruation. Once you get your period, it may take quite a long time for your body to settle into a regular pattern â maybe up to a year â but most women eventually do get into a regular cycle. 2  It is a good idea to keep track of when your period is due, maybe on a calendar or in your diary.
