When I first got my period I was not scared at all because my 3 older sisters had theres and I thought I knew all about them, so I never told my Mum, I just pinched my sisters pads. However I never new they stopped after a few days, I thought they just kept going - because mine did - I had a hormone problem. But after 5 months of this I decided to finally tell my Mum. I had been fainting a lot. I was taken to the doctor and put on special tablets to stop it and given iron.
