What age does your period start to be regular
Soso answered
Okay so usually it takes a few years for your period to really get into a super regular groove. Like, the first year or two after you start, it can be pretty random and that's totally normal. Your body is just figuring things out and getting used to all the new hormones.
It's less about your age and more about how long it's been since your first period, since that's when your body starts settling into a rhythm. Everyone is different, and some people get regular faster or take a little longer. Even while it's still settling, most cycles land somewhere around 20 to 45 days from the start of one period to the start of the next. If your cycles keep running longer than 45 days, or you go 3 months without a period, tell a grown-up you trust so they can check with a doctor.
Things that can mess with your cycle and make it not super regular for a while are like, stress, or if you're sick, or if you're doing a lot of super intense exercise. Your body is just trying to do its best!
If you want to keep track of what your cycle is doing, the Soso app can help you log your period dates and see patterns, even if they're not totally regular yet. It's super helpful to see what's happening over time.
