I got my period but I'm only 9 years old.

It's super normal for girls to get their period at 9 years old, you know? Everyone's body works at a different pace, and there's no "right" age for your first period. Some girls menstruate earlier, others later. You might just be one of those girls who starts early, and that's totally okay!

What to expect now

Now that you've had your first period, your body will continue to adjust. Your cycles might be a bit irregular at first, you know? Like, it might come one month, not the next, or the flow might be different. Doctors say it's normal for it to take a year or two for your cycle to become more regular. Pay attention to your body's signals and write everything down so you can get to know yourself better.

What to do now

Talk to a trusted adult, like your mom, dad, aunt, or someone you feel comfortable with. They can help you understand everything that's happening and offer support. It's also good to have pads or other menstrual products on hand. And don't worry, menstruation is a natural part of growing up, and you'll get used to it quickly!
