Your first period
Tips and information

A lot changes with the first period. Most menstruating teenagers are between 11 and 13 years old when they notice their first period. They may already have a little pubic hair growth, their breasts are starting to develop, and puberty is in full swing. A yellowish discharge from the vagina can also be an indication that the first period is imminent.

But it's not just physical signs that indicate menstruation. Young menstruators in particular have lots of questions, sometimes fears and worries. "Is this normal?", "Am I normal?", "What do I have to do now?" - questions that are justified and require answers. Most people have probably heard of it before or have a rough idea of ​​it. But when menstruation starts for the first time, it can be unsettling.
