is there anything I can do to induce my period starting if I haven’t ever gotten it before?

Okay so no, there isn't really anything you can do to make your first period start sooner. Your body knows when it's ready and it's on its own schedule, literally. Trying to force it won't work and it could even mess up your body's natural rhythm.

Your first period is called menarche, and it's a really big deal because it means your body is growing up and getting ready for all the cool changes that come with puberty. Everyone gets their period at a slightly different age, and that's totally normal. Most girls get theirs between 10 and 13, but some start earlier or later. You might have already noticed some other signs that your body is getting ready, like:

• Your breasts starting to develop
• Growing hair under your arms and in your pubic area
• A growth spurt where you suddenly get taller
• Having some clear or white discharge in your underwear for a few months before your period actually starts

These are all signs that your body is working on it, and your period will arrive when it's good and ready. Just focus on being healthy and taking care of yourself, and your body will do its thing! If you're curious about roughly when yours might show up, there's a quiz on this site that can give you a pretty good idea: how close is my first period?
