Tater asked

I had to get my first bra when I was nine and I am 11 and I think I started noticing discharge that same year and I also had hair down there

Soso answered

Okay so it sounds like your body is doing all the normal puberty things, and that's super exciting! Getting your first bra, seeing discharge, and noticing pubic hair are all signs that your body is getting ready for your first period.

What your body is doing

It's totally normal for puberty signs to show up before your period. Like, first your breasts start developing, which is why you got that first bra. Then usually comes the hair "down there," and after that, discharge. All of this is your body getting ready for your period, which is usually the last big thing to happen during puberty.

What the discharge means

That discharge you're seeing is like a clear or whitish liquid, and it's your body's way of cleaning itself. It's a really good sign that your period is probably on its way! Most people get their first period about 6-12 months after they start seeing discharge, so you might be getting pretty close.

If you want to know roughly when your period might arrive, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: [how close is my first period?](https://www.sosoapp.com.br/en/quizzes/how-close-is my-first-period)

Okay, so it sounds like you're really paying attention to your body and all the changes, which is super smart! It makes sense that the quiz result feels right, because those signs show puberty is well on its way. A first period often comes…
