Well so this is embarrassing... I'm 13. I've had smallish breasts for at least a year & a 1/2 and thick white discharge for at least a year. I have a lot of of pubic hair and a bit of under armpit hair, i also need deodorant. I have a lot of headaches some nausea and stomachaches. i do cry a lot about unreasonable things and i feel puffy and feverish. Are these signs of my period, my doctor said i would get it within the year i just don't really know.
Hello You :)
There really is no reason for you to be embarrassed about any issue related to your health, even more so when it comes to getting your first period. First period is a very important milestone in your life - it practically means that you are getting closer to being a woman instead of a girl.
From what you described, it seems to me like your puberty is right on track - you have pubic hair growing which means that hormones are doing their job. However, the discharge you’re having might mean that your vaginal balance is weakened, so if you can, talk to your doctor about possibility you’re having a yeast infection. That might be a reason why your period is still late, but either way – you are on the right track as far as puberty is concerned,
Wish you all the best,
