I want to know what you think about knowing more or less when it will arrive, not exactly?

To know more or less when your period will arrive, or the next one, the best thing to do is pay attention to the signs your body gives you and, like, track your cycle. The first period, for example, doesn't just arrive out of nowhere — your body gives you some warnings beforehand.

Signs Your First Period is Approaching

  • Breast development: They start to grow, like, a year or two before the first period. It's one of the first signs.
  • Vaginal discharge: It's a clear or slightly whitish liquid that you see on your underwear. It appears a few months, or even a year, before the actual period. It's super normal and means your body is getting ready for your first period.
  • Pubic and underarm hair: It starts to grow before you get your period.
  • Growth spurt: You know when you grow super fast out of nowhere? This usually happens a little before the first period. Like, your feet and hands grow first, and then the rest of your body.

After you've already started menstruating, the way to know when the next one is near is by tracking your cycle. The Sosô app, for example, helps you record everything: the day your period starts and ends, your mood, if you have cramps, your energy levels, and other symptoms. Over time, it starts to show a pattern of how your body works, and you can get an idea of when the next one will come again.

If you want to know how close you are to your first period, there's a really cool quiz here on the website: how close is my first period?
