Learn what puberty changes may mean as your first period gets closer.
Your first period usually does not happen completely out of nowhere. During puberty, your body may show signs such as breast development, body hair, discharge, growth, and other changes. This quiz cannot predict an exact date, but it can help you understand what your body may be telling you.
Questions in this quiz
- how old are you?
- when did your boobs first start to grow? (mom probably remembers better than you)
- how would you describe your boobs right now? (no judgment, this is just biology: pick whichever sounds most like you)
- any new hair? like under your arms, or down there?
- have you ever noticed clear or whitish stuff in your underwear sometimes? (this is so so normal and nobody talks about it but everybody gets it. it just means your body is gearing up. ask mom if you're not sure!)
- have you been growing taller really fast lately? like, mom keeps having to buy you new shoes and pants?
- do you ever feel weirdly crampy in your tummy, or moody for no reason, or kind of bloated?
- has your body shape been changing? hips getting a little wider, that kind of stuff?
- how about your skin? more oily or breakouts lately?
- okay last one, this one's for mom. how old was she when she got her first period? (this matters because how old your mom was kind of gives a hint about you. genetics is wild like that)

Frequently asked questions
Can a quiz tell me exactly when my first period will come?
No. A quiz can help you understand signs of puberty, but nobody can predict the exact day.
What are signs that my first period is getting closer?
Body changes can include breast development, body hair, discharge, growth, and changes in how you feel.
Is discharge before a first period normal?
Discharge can be a normal part of puberty. Talk to a trusted adult if it worries you or changes suddenly.
Soso is for learning and self-awareness, not medical advice. The science behind this quiz comes from these sources.
