My breasts have only been growing for a bout 6 months to a year can I still get my period soon?

Yes, you can still get your period soon, but it usually takes a bit longer than that.

Breasts starting to grow is usually the very first sign of puberty, and the first period often comes about 2 years after that starts, and that varies a lot. Some bodies move through puberty pretty fast, and others take their sweet time. There is honestly no exact stopwatch for any of this, so having breasts grow for six months to a year means your body is definitely doing its thing, but your period might still be a little ways off, or it could surprise you.

Here are some other signs that can give you clues about where you are:

• Pubic and underarm hair, which usually shows up shortly after breasts start growing, though getting hair first is totally normal too.
• A growth spurt, where the period often comes about a year after the fastest growing, and that varies a lot too.
• Clear, white or off-white discharge in your underwear, which can start some months before a first period. If it changes colour, smells bad or itches, tell a grown-up.

There is no set age for a first period: it can come anywhere from about 9 to 15, sometimes later, and the average is around 12. A period before 9 (or any bleeding or pink or brown spotting before 9), no period by 15, or no breast growth or other puberty signs by 13 means telling a grown-up so a doctor can check. Signs that started before 8 are worth a check too, and it's usually nothing to worry about.

Btw if you want to see which signs your body is already showing, there's a quiz on this site: how close is my first period?. It takes about a minute.
