How can I find my first period

You can't really "find" your first period, because it's not something you can look for and grab like a lost sock. It's something that happens when your body is ready, and it shows up when it wants to. It's kinda like when you're waiting for your hair to grow long, it just happens over time!

Your body gives you clues it's getting ready, though. Like, you'll start getting breast buds, which are like little bumps under your nipples. And you might notice some white or yellowish discharge on your underwear sometimes, and that's totally normal. Most people also have a growth spurt first, so you might shoot up a few inches really fast. All of these are signs that your period is probably on its way soon.

It usually happens sometime between ages 10 and 15, but everyone is different. Your body is just doing its thing and figuring out its own timeline. There's nothing you have to do to make it happen or stop it. You just gotta wait and chill, and it'll arrive when it's good and ready.

And btw, if you're wondering how close your first period might be, there's a quiz on this site that can give you a rough idea: how close is my first period?
