Did you notice any changes approaching your first cycle or right after it?

I tried thinking back to this and I don't remember feeling any different but once I had my first period, things changed. I can't explain it but I felt as if I grew up overnight. Over the course of a few months, my hairstyle changed, I started wearing make-up, and I wanted different clothing. I think I was coming into my body more and understanding it better.

Well, my breasts grew! I was a very small A cup in size and it seemed like, within 3 months, I was up to nearly a C. It was painful! Each cycle they would swell up and not go down. I guess they were coming in. I didn't really change much with my style or anything. I always enjoyed baggy tops and comfy clothing.

When I started my period, it was not consistent. I was having maybe 5 to 8 a year. When I entered my 20's, I was down to 3 a year. It was a bit whacky! I think this is why it took me a long time to actually develop the way other girls did. I didn't get fuller breasts and hips until I was nearly 20 and my cycle didn't normalize until I was 26.
