When do I get my period based on my quiz
Soso answered
A first period can come anywhere from about 9 to 15, sometimes later, and the average is around 12, but nobody can give you an exact date.
Even with a quiz, your body works on its own timeline. There is no set age, but your body usually drops clues that things are moving along.
Signs it might be getting closer
- Breasts starting to grow, which is usually the first sign (the period often comes about 2 years later, and that varies a lot)
- Pubic and underarm hair, usually soon after, though hair first is normal too
- A growth spurt (the period often comes about a year after the fastest growing, and that varies a lot too)
- Clear, white or off-white discharge, which can start some months before (if it changes colour, smells strong or bad, itches or feels sore, or it hurts when you pee, tell a grown-up)
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. Breast or hair growth before 8 is worth a check too, and it's usually nothing to worry about.
If you haven't taken it yet or want to check your signs again, you can try it here: how close is my first period?
