When the app updated once there was a quiz, you could take to tell you the months where you could possibly get your period how do I reach? It’s not the quiz on the website.

Soso answered

There isn't a quiz in the Soso app that predicts specific months for your first period, and doctors can't actually predict an exact month either.

First periods don't run on an exact countdown. A first period can arrive anywhere from about 9 to 15, sometimes later, and the average is around 12. Because everyone's body grows on its own timeline, no test or app feature can reliably guess the exact month yours will start.

Instead of guessing dates, your body gives you clues as it gets closer:

  • Breasts starting to grow, which is usually the first sign, and the period often comes about 2 years later, and that varies a lot
  • Pubic and underarm hair, usually appearing soon after, though hair growing first is normal too
  • A growth spurt, where the period often comes about a year after your fastest growing, and that varies a lot too
  • Clear, white or off-white discharge in your underwear, which can start some months before a first period

If discharge changes colour, smells bad or itches, tell a grown-up.

Also, getting your period before age 9, having no period by 15, or having no breast growth or other puberty signs by 13 means telling a grown-up so a doctor can check. Breast or hair growth that started before 8 is worth a check too, and it is usually nothing to worry about.

Inside the Soso app, you can log daily signs like mood, energy, and body changes to see what is typical for you once periods start. If you want to check which puberty clues your body is already showing right now, the only quiz we have is right here on this site: how close is my first period?.
