Question: Just asked but nervous about my first period?

You could start soon, or it could be a while. Most girls get their first period anytime from 18 months to 3 years after they begin to develop breast, and anytime from 6 months to 2 years after starting to have vaginal discharge. Discharge can vary in color, sometimes it will be clear and watery, other times it can be thicker and white. It can also be off white or have a yellow tint to it.

Your first period will look more like brown discharge, but there will be a BIG difference in the color from your normal discharge.

yes, you'll definetly start soon.

I was 11 when I had mine. I had crazy discharge first but I didn't expect it because I didn't expect my period so soon and I didn't know what signs to expect.



Ya, I think you should start pretty soon. Probably not until grade 8 tho- probably around the same time As your mom.



Likely so. Wouldn't leave the house without pads or tampons if I were you.
