I'm 10 but I'm having cramps but when I use the bathroom I don't see blood

Okay so totally normal to have cramps even if you don't see blood yet. Lots of girls get cramps before their period actually starts, like their body is getting ready for it.

What's happening is your body is starting to grow and change on the inside, getting everything ready for your period. Sometimes those changes can feel like cramps, even if you're not actually bleeding. It's kind of like a warm-up act, you know? Your uterus is just getting started, practicing for the real deal.

Cramps can also be from other things too, like maybe you ate too fast or have a little tummy ache. But if they're coming and going, especially around the same time each month, it could totally be a sign that your period is getting closer. You can track any symptoms like cramps and when they happen to see if there's a pattern, that's what the Soso app is for.
