Brownish Red Sticky Discharge, Cramps, Mood Swings. First Period?

Hello dear, yes most probably these are signs of upcoming periods but periods in initial few months are largely erratic.
Ranging from 1-7 days and from minimal spotting to heavy flow. But eventually they will stabilize and you will be knowing your period pattern then.
For now I think we can only wait till the periods set but prediction of length, interval and quantity is not possible.
Take care and wish you the best of health
