Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML

Why is this something to be excited about? You get to put a huge cloth up your ****** once a month. You don't that period in order for you to be a woman.

At least you and your mom are close enough that you feel comfortable sharing that. Think of all the girls out there who don't have good relationships with their mothers, or don't even have mothers.

1.) why would you call your mom at work with this news instead of just waiting for her to get home? 2.) why would your mom answer on speakerphone before talking long enough to know the conversation was speakerable? 3.) @62: some girls don't get their period until they're 17 or even older, which is plenty old enough to be on this site. it's unlikely that the op was that old because a high schooler probably wouldn't call her mom at work to say she got her period, but don't jump to conclusions.

this isn't an fml and #70 its so we can have kids. DUH. what kind of question is that

This reminds me of a comic: http://www.hyperdeathbabies.com/anomaly/images/012-vaginal-blood.gif

I can understand being excited if you're having health problems or not wanting to be pregnany but otherwise..not so much. I definitely wasn't excited, periods are gross.

I've never understood women who are exited about having periods (and I mean past the first one - I've met some. Ugh.) First of all its a waste of $. I don't want to know how much I've had to spend over the years on pads, tampons, heat pads and midol. First time I got my period went okay. But by the time the second time it came around no one thought to tell me about cramps. I was on a field trip three hours away from home and had no idea what was going on. Pain was so bad I threw up. Then there was the time I got my period while taking the SAT.

OMG this happened to me too! I called her at work and she was telling me where to find everything in her bathroom when I asked way she sounded so far away so told me I was on speakerphone. I feel for you!

Be more specific, were you getting your period for the first time, or were you afraid you were pregnant? And your mom was not thinking when she put you on speaker.
