Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
Its time for you to transform yourself into a young lady.
It seems that you have started your periods.
This process will start in this way.The initial months will be erratic.But in a few months time you will have regular periods.
Till then neither the time nor the amount will be stable.
Ask your mom if you panic.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.Hope this answers your query.Enjoy womanhood.Have a nice day.
