Doctor’s visits can feel intimidating, especially when you’re not sure what’s actually private. Here’s some reassurance: most providers can give you time alone during your appointment, and what you share generally stays between you and them. There are a few exceptions, and the specifics vary by state, but understanding your rights ahead of time can make your next visit feel a lot less stressful. Swipe through to learn more 🌸💐🌺

If you feel like your first period (or the first few years of it) has been unpredictable, it’s totally normal! Your body is still learning through this process, and can take a year or two (sometimes more) for cycles to find their rhythm.

Irregular doesn’t have to mean that something is wrong, it can mean that you’re still early in the process of menstruating. However, if something seriously feels off (like missing periods for months or pain that stops you in your tracks), that’s worth mentioning to a doctor!

Otherwise, be patient with yourself. Give your body some time :)
