When will my first period come?? Since you first heard the word
"period," you've probably been wondering what it is and when you'd get
your first period. Although most girls get their first period between
11-14 years old, you could start your period anywhere from 8-17 years
old.
You could narrow that down by taking clues from your body.
During puberty, when your body becomes sexually mature, you'll have some
of these changes that show your period's on its way. (By the way, these
changes may happen in a different order than listed here.)
•
Developing Breasts. First, you'll get breast "buds". (Your breasts then
can take up to 3-4 years to fully develop.) Generally you will get your
period 2-3 years after your breasts start developing.
• Growing
Pubic Hair. Right after your breasts start to form, you'll start
developing pubic hair. It will be soft and thin at first, then gradually
become coarser. Your period usually arrives around 1-2 years after the
hair development.
• Discharge. This is the big sign. You'll
start to experience vaginal discharge that will be either white or
yellowish. If you like, you may want to start using Alldays Pantiliners
to protect you underwear. You period should start around 6-12 (but up to
18) months after the start of discharge.
There's one more way
to figure out when you'll start menstruating: Ask your mom. You'll
probably get your period within a year or so of when she got hers.
Since you'll only have a general idea of when you'll get your period, you might want to do some planning.
Most
girls will use pads at least for their first period. Your first period
will probably be fairly light so Always Thin Maxi Regular or Always Thin
Ultra Regular would be a good choice of pad. If you are physically
small, you may want to consider Always Thin Ultra Slender. It's a good
idea to keep a pad or two hidden in your locker at school, and carry
another in your backpack. This way you won't be caught off guard when it
does happen.
Relax, you will get your period, and you'll have them for a long time!
