Okay, I haven't gotten my period yet, but I have had cramps for the last 3 days. I have been getting discharge for 2 years now. I started growing boobs 3 years ago. Am I going to get it soon?? Thanks!




Hey girlie,

All of those are signs that you're moving through puberty normally, but the cramps especially could be a major sign that your first period is CLOSE. Stay prepared with a pad at home/in your purse if you go out, just in case! It's not a guarantee, but it sounds pretty likely Smile

Hi i was just wondering, can you feel your period when its happening?
Thanks!




Hey girl!

    It kinda depends. If it's your first period, you'll probably know because you'll start feeling something down there that you haven't really felt before. If you're wearing a tampon, you probably won't feel it because the tampon soaks everything up. Hope that helps! x0x0

I have had discharge for around 2 years now.
I have also had REALLY bad cramps for around a year.
I'm oversensitive ( as in I think they are mood swings )
I weigh much more than my friends, but I still look O.K I guess
This has been happening for a longgg time and I'm only 11. I don't know if it's natural or Sister Flo ( Haha Finding Nemo )is already on her way to pubic town. Please help me out and tell me if it is or not!! Thanks!




Hey girlie. You're along the path to getting it, but no one can tell you for sure when you're going to get it. You just have to be prepared for it. So keep a pad and tampon with you as much as possible.

my friend just got her period and all of my friends who got theres think i'll get mine next but my doctor said in october that i'll get it next year. are doctors usually right? who is right? can on one really tell?




Hey girlie. Doctors can make estimates, but they can't tell you exactly when you'll get it. You will get it when you get it! So, be ready!

Hey girl,

Ugh... I hear ya! I use tampons now because pads were so annoying. Read our tips on how to make it a little less uncomfy during that time of the month!

I feel so sad I don't have my period yet. I just want to cry my eyes out. Seeing everyone on her having all the headaches and cramps and I don't.. makes me feel like I'm dying. I just want my period to get it over with. I'm totally flat chested and I'd rather have my period instead of boobs. I only have discharge. Is it possible to have NONE of the side affects but still get it? Frown Frown




Hey girlie! Don't be so upset. You will get yours. You just have to give it time. I know it's hard to wait while all the rest of your friends have it, but after you have it for a few years you will wish you didn't have it. It's a lot to take care of! Don't worry though girl, it will come. It can come at any time, so be prepared!

Hey girl, I don't know about around the corner but it's coming soon. Be prepared with pads just in case. No one knows when it'll come, but it's better safe than sorry when it does!
