What to expect when you’re expecting your period

Periods can be a daunting time for a girl, but knowing what’s about to come can certainly help put your mind at ease. But here’s the thing – nobody knows exactly when their period will come! Don’t fear, there are a few clues as to when it might be on its way:

• How old your mum was when she got her first period. It may not be exact but it is genetic!
• It’s been more than a year since you first noticed pubic hair and had discharge (link)
• If your discharge becomes reddish-brown (the colour of dried blood), your period is close!
