My doctor says I am going to get my period this summer because I have had cramps since November and breast development and then a month after my visit I get period poops

Okay so your doctor sounds super smart because all those things you're describing are totally common signs that your first period is getting closer.

Like, cramps and breast development are two of the big ones we look for. And "period poops" are a real thing too! It's when your poop habits change a little right before or during your period. Some people get a little constipated, and others get super loose poops, sometimes even diarrhea. It's all because of hormones called prostaglandins that your body releases. These hormones help your uterus cramp to shed its lining, but they can also affect your digestive system and make your intestines contract more, leading to those period poops.

So it sounds like your body is definitely getting ready. It's like your body is giving you a heads-up that things are about to kick off, which is actually super cool. If you want to get an even better idea of when it might arrive, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: how close is my first period?
