While many girls get their first period between ages 11 and 13, it can happen anytime between 9 and 16. Remember, everyone’s body has its own timeline, so if it seems like yours is taking longer, don’t worry—you will get your period!
Look for these signs:
Developing Breast Buds: Breast development is often one of the first signs of puberty. You can expect your period to start about two years after your breasts begin to develop.
Growing Pubic Hair: Shortly after your breasts start to form, you’ll likely notice pubic hair growth. This hair will become coarser over time, and your first period typically arrives one to two years after this change.
Vaginal Discharge: The presence of white or yellowish discharge is a strong indicator that your first period is approaching. Your period is likely to start within the next few months.
