Understandably having your first period can be a little disturbing but as Shannon has stated, it can take a while for your periods to regulate. Don't forget that you're not going to bleed like a tap either. How much exits the body can depend on how light or heavy your period is, as well as it being determined by how long it's been since your first period as well as how old you are since this time. Periods naturally vary from girl to girl.

For the next few days, again as Shannon has suggested, consider wearing a pad to ensure that you don't ruin your underwear. If you don't yet have access to any of this you can use something more makeshift such as a thickened piece of cloth or some tissue paper bunched up. It may be uncomfortable, but it's better than nothing.
