When will I get my period I'm 9

Okay, so there's no exact date you can circle on the calendar because everyone's body is different, but generally, kids get their first period between ages 10 and 15, with 12 being super common.

Even though 9 is a bit on the younger side, it's totally possible, because puberty starts at different times for everyone. My best friend got hers when she was 10, and I got mine right after I turned 12. So it's a pretty wide window.

What you can look for are other signs that your body is getting ready. Like, your breasts start to grow, and you might notice some white or yellowish discharge in your underwear a few months before your period actually starts. Oh, and usually there's a growth spurt right before too, where you just shoot up like a beanstalk.

If you're curious about roughly when yours might show up, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: how close is my first period?
