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.

MOD MOD MOD MOD i have been getting serious cramps, and i think i will soon start my period. But in the mean time, how do i deal with these bad cramps




Hey girl, I'd suggest talking to your mother about them. You can use medicine like Advil or apply heat to them, but it's best to get your mom's take.

MOD MOD MOD! I didn't get my first period too long ago, I've only had two but the first two were exactly 28 days apart and started on the same day! And then on the day I would've started I didn't. It's been a week! I was pretty stressed and sick before hand. Could this have anything to do with it? P.s. Are there any ways to determine PMS so I can try and guess when my period is on it's way?

 

 

Hey chickadee! Stress can totally mess with your cycle, as can lots of other factors... like how active you are and what you're eating. If you're not sexually active though, I wouldn't worry. It's normal for periods to be irregular at the beginning. As for determining PMS... some girls get cramps before their periods, others have lower back pain, feel floated, or have tender boobs.

Im confused if im about to start my period. i've had spotting a few times, ive had mood swings, cravings, back pains and all that. I've been having discharge for about a year. I have pubic hair and armpit hair, and my boobs have visibly gotten bigger and ive broken out with acne. Does it sound like im going to start soon to you?




hey! Yes it does, should be anytime now.
