Hello. My name is Koree.

I am 12 years old and I just got my first period.

Thanks for joining me as I explore periods as part of the menstrual cycle. This site explains what happens inside and outside our bodies for menstruation to occur. It also provides facts about growing up, menstrual hygiene and gives tips on how to take care of our bodies every day of the month.

Through our Short–Story section, you can also read about other young women, (who live in a variety of geographical places and social cultures on Earth), and who are experiencing their first menstruation. Share in these Menstrual Cycle journeys and life lessons here.

Let's Stay in Touch!
