When am I going to get my period

Okay, so like, no one can tell you the exact day your period is going to show up, because everyone's body is different. But there are totally some signs that it's getting closer, and you can kind of guess when it's going to happen.

Signs your period is coming

Most people get their period about two to three years after their breasts start to develop. And usually, your first period will show up about six months to a year after you start getting a white or yellowish discharge in your undies. That's your body just doing its thing and getting ready.

You might also notice a growth spurt right before your period, like suddenly your pants are too short. And some people get mild cramps or feel a little moody a few days before their first period, kind of like a sneak peek of PMS. It's usually nothing super intense, just a little heads-up from your body.

Don't stress too much about it, your body knows what to do. Most people get their first period between ages 10 and 13, but it can totally happen earlier or later, so like, don't compare yourself to your friends too much. If you want to get a rough idea though, there's a fun quiz on this site: how close is my first period?
