Periods & hormones

Hey hey, thanks for asking luna 💛

There's no scientific evidence to suggest that people are more likely to get their first period in autumn or winter. It's more likely that this is a myth that has been passed around.

Periods are a normal part of growing up and everyone's experience is different. Some people may get their first period in the autumn or winter, while others may get it in the spring or summer. It really just depends on the individual.

Hope this helps! 💖
