Early period in girls<\/strong> can sometimes be worrying. If you notice your period came much early than normal, then you shouldn’t worry. It may not be pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Are you worried your period is a week early? Do you have muscle cramps that are less severe than period cramps? Do you feel you may be pregnant after an unprotected intercourse? Then this article will explain the causes of early period in girls and\u00a0when it may be due to pregnancy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span>What is the normal period in girls?\"What<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are seeing your period for the first time and you are not sure about what is normal, these are some period facts you should know.<\/p>\n

Period is the shredding<\/strong> of the lining covering your womb. This lining is called the endometrium. During each menstrual cycle, you will experience bleeding that comes out of your vagina. The first time your period starts is menarche<\/strong>. When your period finally stops is called menopause<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A normal period in girls<\/strong> last about 2 to 7 days and you may experience cramps or pain in your abdomen.<\/p>\n

A normal period may have blood clots sometimes<\/strong>. This is because excessive period blood clots may not be broken down by fibrinolysin.<\/p>\n

Between 2 of your menstruation is your menstrual cycle<\/strong>. It is important that you chart your menstrual cycle to know if it’s regular or not.<\/p>\n

Within each of your menstrual cycle, it is expected that you will ovulate<\/strong>. Ovulation, which occurs in the middle of your cycle, is the rupture of the most mature follicle with the release of an egg (ovum). When the egg is released, it is pushed into the fallopian tube for fertilization to take place.<\/p>\n

During this rupture of the follicles, there may be slight bleeding<\/strong> that sometimes occurs in girls. This bleeding is the cause of brown discharge in women.<\/p>\n

After the sperm has fertilized the egg in the fallopian tube, the product (baby) is moved by the ciliary action of the fallopian tube back to the uterus. At the uterus, your baby (fertilized ovum) burrows into the endometrium of the uterus. This process is called implantation<\/strong> and can result in vaginal bleeding or brown discharge.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is the normal cycle length in women?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Regular menstrual cycle in girls occurs every 21 to 35 days. Women may sometimes get worried when they notice their period occurring twice in one month. However, you shouldn’t. If you have a 21 days menstrual cycle, it simply implies you may see your period twice in some months.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What causes your period to come early?\"Early<\/span><\/h2>\n

These are some of the reasons your period is early:<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. \u00a0Pregnancy<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is the commonest concern among women with early menstruation. If you notice an early period, then you may be pregnant.<\/p>\n

How does this occur?<\/strong> After fertilization and implantation, the slight bleeding that occurs can come out bright pink discharge before your expected period<\/a>. This usually lasts for a few hours or days with some minor pain. Pink discharge or brown discharge before your period is an early pregnancy sign.<\/p>\n

However, there are other early pregnancy symptoms you may notice<\/p>\n
