So to the nitty gritty of the the status quo:

Three(3) signs of a woman's first period.

1. Breast (Mammary gland) Development
Before your period, you might notice your breasts are growing. The first sign of a girl's first period is developing breast buds — this is when your nipple becomes raised because of the fat, tissue and milk glands your body develops. During this period, you might feel more comfortable wearing a training bra or camisole. Your mammary gland can then take up to four years to fully develop. Generally, you will start your period one to three years after your breasts begin developing.

2. Hair Growth
You'll start developing more body hair either before or after your mammary gland bud. You will first start growing pubic hair in the area below your lower stomach and between your legs. At first it will be soft and thin, then it will gradually become coarser and curly. Then your underarm hair might become coarser and darker. Your period will usually arrive around one or two years after your pubic hair develops.

3. Vaeginal Discharge
This is a big sign that you may start expecting your first period. You'll begin to experience vaginal discharge that will be either white or yellowish. Don't worry, this is completely normal — it's your body's way of moisturizing the vaegina. Wearing pantiliners can help you feel fresh and dry. Your period will likely start between six and 12 months (or up to 18 months) after discharge occurs.
In addition to these body changes, you can also ask your mom when she started her period. It's likely that you'll get your first period within a year or so of when she got hers. Plus, it's a good time to have a conversation with your mom about all the changes you're experiencing. She can also help you find the right products.

Since you'll only have a general idea of when you'll start your first period, you'll want to do some planning so you can be prepared. Most girls use pads for their first period. Your first period will probably be fairly light,
