So since the quiz said it’s soon I am thinking that it is like really really soon because I just got a new symptom a few months ago which was period poops and now for three days I got bloated sometime in the day or all-day

Okay so it sounds like your body is definitely getting ready! It's pretty normal for things to feel like they're speeding up once you start noticing more signs.

Those "period poops" you're talking about, where your digestion feels different around your period, are super common. And bloating? Oh my gosh, literally everyone I know gets bloated sometimes. Your hormones can make you hold onto more water, especially right before your period, so feeling puffy is a really common sign that your period is probably on its way.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on these new symptoms. Noticing changes in your body, like new feelings or how your stomach acts, is like your body giving you clues. Your first period might still be a little bit off, but it also might not. Everyone is different, and it's exciting to see what your body is doing!

If you want to keep track of these signs and see how close you might be, there's a quiz on this site: how close is my first period?
