I started my period but I peed yellow

Pee being yellow when you're on your period is totally normal, and it just means you're a little dehydrated. It's actually a really good sign that your body is working like it should!
Okay, so when you're on your period, your body is doing a lot of work. You're losing blood, and that can make you need more water than usual. If you don't drink enough, your pee can look darker yellow because your body is trying to hold onto all the water it can. It's like your body is saying, "Hey, I need more!"
Making sure you drink enough water all the time is super important, but especially when you have your period. It can actually help with things like cramps and just making you feel more energetic. So try to sip on water throughout the day, even if you don't feel super thirsty. Clearer pee is a good sign you're well-hydrated!
If your pee is super dark yellow or even brownish, or if it has a really strong smell, and you're also feeling sick, you might want to tell a grown-up just to be sure everything's okay. But regular yellow pee is mostly just a signal to drink up!
