Okay so it sounds like your body is going through a lot of changes right now, and yeah, all those things you listed can totally be signs that your first period is getting closer!

When your body starts getting ready for your period, it's like a whole hormonal party is happening inside, and hormones can make you feel super emotional, like crying one minute and being totally fine the next. Tummy aches can also be a sign of your uterus getting ready, and chocolate cravings are literally a classic PMS thing, so you're not alone there. Sore boobs, feeling tired all the time, and oily skin with pimples are also really common because of all those hormones doing their thing.

Everyone is different, but usually, your first period will show up after you've been noticing these kinds of changes for a while. Doctors say most girls get their period between 10 and 13, but some get it a bit earlier or later, and that's all totally normal. The best thing you can do is just keep an eye on how you're feeling and talk to a grown-up you trust, like your mom or another family member, about what's going on so they can help you get ready.

Btw, if you want to find out roughly when yours might be coming, there's a quiz on this site: how close is my first period? — it takes like a minute.
