Ask me all the necessary questions and I'll answer, just tell me approximately when [the first period] will be.

To get an idea of when your first period might arrive, we can look at some things that happen in your body before it. Like clues, you know? The first is breast development, when they start to get a bit bigger. Then, a while later, you'll notice hair in your armpits and pubic area. And lastly, and super important, is vaginal discharge. If you're noticing some spotting or a clear fluid in your underwear, like mucus, it's a big sign that your period is coming in a few months!

Girls usually have their first period between 10 and 13 years old, but it can be a little before or a little after, okay? Every body is unique, so there's no exact rule. It's good to observe these signs in your body to get an idea.

Oh, and if you want an even better idea of how close your period is, there's a super cool quiz on the website that helps you find out! It's quick to take and will shed some light: how close is my first period?
