Yes, based on what you're describing, it makes total sense that your first period could be coming around May. All those signs you mentioned are super common things that happen before your period starts.

Okay so, let's break it down:

What your body is doing

  • Back pain: Sometimes this can be part of PMS, or just your body changing and getting ready. It's totally normal to feel aches and pains before your period.
  • Discharge: This is a big one! Having a lot of discharge usually means your period is getting close. It's your body's way of cleaning itself and it starts a few months before your first period for most girls. Some people see it for up to a year or two before, but if it's a lot, that's a good sign.
  • Pubic hair and breast development: These are classic signs of puberty, and they always happen before your first period. So your body is definitely on track. The first period usually shows up about two years after breasts start to develop, and about a year after pubic hair starts growing.
  • Moodiness and bloating: Yep, these are also classic pre-period symptoms. Your hormones are doing their thing, and they can make you feel a little puffy and emotional right before your period. It's like a sneak peek of what PMS feels like.

What to do now

It sounds like your body is giving you all the signals! The best thing you can do is just be ready. Maybe pack a small period kit for your backpack with a pad or two, just in case. And keep tracking those symptoms in the Soso app, because it'll help you see the patterns as they get closer. Just remember, everyone's body is different, so even if the app predicts May, it could be a little before or after, and that's totally fine!

If you're curious to see how close you might be, there's a quick quiz you can take: how close is my first period?
