How do I get my period faster

Waiting for your first period (or even your next one!) can feel like forever, but there's no secret way to make it magically appear faster.

Your body has its own schedule for puberty and your cycle, and it's super complicated with all these hormones doing their thing. Everyone is different, and everyone's body will do things when it's ready. If you haven't had your first period yet, remember that it's just one part of growing up, and your body is getting ready for it at its own pace. Sometimes things like stress or changes in eating or exercise can make your cycle a little unpredictable in the beginning, so trying to stay chill and take care of yourself is always a good idea.

But if you want some clues about how close your first period might be, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: how close is my first period?
