YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

First Period Prep



What are some signs that I’m going to start my period? I’m 12 years old and still have not started. Can you give me some clues to go by?
 
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to circle a date on the calendar and know that’s when you’re getting your period? Even when you do start getting it monthly, the date may be difficult to guess each month, as it takes awhile for your bod to get on a sched’.
 
Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of signs for your first period. There are ways to tell that your body is maturing, which means you’re getting close to puberty, such as breast growth, public hair and acne. Although it’s also possible to see these body changes after your first period.
 
The typical “period” signs may not show up before your first one. Typically, before periods, girls might have bloating, cramping, headaches, mood swings, acne breakouts, etc. But you may not have any of that before your first period.
 
Doctor Corina Tennant-Moore, who is an OBGYN at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, suggests paying attention to any spotting, but agrees that you may not see it coming. Best to be prepared with pads and/or tampons at home, and you can carry one with ya, just in case.

my friend's mom is a nurse and she said that a guess is that if u start to wear a bra when your going into third grade (age 8) you might start your period spring age 10 or 11 (in fith grade) but you might not and most people start wearing a bra at 8

I'm 12 and alot of people have been telling me some of the symptoms for your periods. What I don't get is that I have been having all of those symptoms but nothings happening! But a few months ago I saw an orange spot, but me and my mom think it might just be a different symptom,not the real thing, especially because it didn't continue happening. My mom had her's at 11 and she says to be expecting it this year, especially if the symptoms show. Is she right?

MODMODMOD!!! im 13 and i think i started my period last month. it was hard to tell cuz it was orangish. do u think it is my period? i just started having it again and i had the mood swings and cramps! Did i start my period or is it just spotting? ive been wearing thin pads, since its not very heavy. plz help! thanks!

 

Hey girl, I'm not a medical expert, so I can't say for sure.  If it lasted for more than one day, and it came again, it's probably your period.  I would consider talking to your doc or an adult you trust for more guidance.  xoxo
