Is it normal to have spotting 4 days before period and have your period for 1 week? A total of a week and a half? Help ;(

@matylduhastaramuha Yes, it is normal. Your period should be coming very soon! I spotted for two years before I got my period! Hope that helped! Good luck sweetie! :)

@TheBloomfan123 trust me, getting your period is not nice. on tv, women like to dance around and wear white when they're on their period. in reality, when you're on your period you like to wear old crappy clothes, and want to kill anyone who looks at you funny.
