I am experiencing vaginal itching and im supposedly on my period but i was reading that there can be reddish brownish discharge which is an infection. So i was wondering if it is an infection or am i on my period because i am getting cramps as well.

This is quite common and can be checked in the office to be easily treated after testing for infection.
You are getting your period. Now the itching could be related to vaginal mucosal irritation or some women get vaginal infections withy their period as the immune system may go down a little. I would also do a pregnancy test if there is any question that this may not be a regular period for you. watch out for the tini9ng of your menstrual cycles if they have a regular pattern.
It sounds likely that you are getting your period. It is common to feel some irritation along with your menstrual cycle due to irritation of the vaginal tissue with blood. However, if your itching remains after your cycle, you may have a yeast infection. If so, consider an over the counter treatment like Monistat, or see your gynecologist for an evaluation. Best of luck!
If you are the expected time, it probably is your period. Itching can be from menstrual pads, or yeast vaginitis. Wait until you finish your menses to see if the itching continues. If so see your doc.
