Can you predict my first period based on my birthdate and symptoms like mood swings, tummy cramps, and feeling weird in my stomach?

Soso answered

Okay, so I can't tell you exactly when your first period will start, because literally everyone's body is different! Like, there's no magic date that works for everyone, and I don't know your birthday or anything about you like that.

What I can tell you is that those mood swings, tummy cramps, and weird stomach feelings you're having are totally common signs that your body is getting ready. It's like your body is doing all this work behind the scenes to get things ready, and sometimes you can feel it. These feelings can pop up a few months, or even a year or two, before your period actually starts.

Other big signs that your first period is getting close are when you start to notice breast development and some clear or white discharge in your undies. Those usually show up a while before your period, so they're like little hints your body is giving you. And remember, it's super normal for your periods to be a bit all over the place for the first year or two after they start. Your body is still figuring things out!

If you want to get a rough idea of when your period might arrive, there's a quick quiz you can take: how close is my first period?

When do I get my period based on my quiz

Soso answered

A first period can come anywhere from about 9 to 15, sometimes later, and the average is around 12, but nobody can give you an exact date. Even with a quiz, your body works on its own timeline. There is no set age, but your body usually…
