I took the quiz already and it said I was going to get it in a few months

Soso answered

Okay so that's super exciting! The quiz can only give you a rough idea, it's not like a crystal ball or anything, and nobody can know the exact month. Your body has its own timeline for when your period decides to show up. On average it comes about 2 years after breast buds start, and that varies a lot from person to person. Clear or white discharge in your underwear may also start some months before. It's just your body getting ready for the main event! If that discharge ever itches or feels sore, smells really bad, turns grey or green, or it hurts when you pee, tell a grown-up you trust.

Sometimes it can feel like forever, and sometimes it can surprise you a little sooner. The best thing to do is just keep an eye out for those signs and maybe have some period products ready, just in case. You don't want to be caught off guard, right? A mini pad in your backpack or a pair of period undies could be your BFF.

Keep tracking how you're feeling and any changes you notice in your body. It helps you get to know your cycle even before it officially starts. You can even log those pre-period signs in the Soso app to see patterns when your period does arrive.
