Yes, I don't want the exact date, as I said I want a preview, for example: "it could come between January and July 2027" something like that, now tell me when it will come.

Oh, friend, I totally understand that you want to know when your period will come, but it's not possible to predict a specific date or period like 'between January and July 2027', you know? That's because every body is different and the first period can come at very varied ages. Like, it can be from 8 to 16 years old, and most girls menstruate between 11 and 14 years old, but there's no exact rule. That's why I can't give you a prediction like that, not even a window of months.
What we can look at are some signs that show your first period is coming. For example, breasts start growing first, and your period usually comes about 2 years after that. You might also notice clear or whitish discharge a few months beforehand, which is super normal and means your body is getting ready. And, generally, it comes a year after that phase when we grow the most, the famous growth spurt.
The SosĂ´ app helps you keep an eye on these body signals and understand what's happening! There's also a quiz here on the website, if you want to get an idea of how close is my first period?
