Ages 13 to 17

Your first periods, without the guesswork

Mark the day your period starts, note cramps or a rough day, and the app keeps count. Teen mode keeps it to what matters at 13 to 17, with nothing for sale.

The short answer

Periods usually start around 12, and anywhere from 8 to 16 is within the normal range, according to the NHS. For the first year or two, cycles are often irregular.

Her Good Days works from 13. Teen mode tracks periods, cramps, mood and sleep, and switches off the shop, weight goals and anything about pregnancy.

What teen mode includes

On

Period start and end days, flow, cramps and PMS, mood, energy, sleep, water, a private journal, and short articles about periods and growing up.

Off for 13 to 17

The wellness shop and its banners, marketing email, weight-loss and calorie goals, pregnancy tracking, fertile-window days and anything that scores days as lower or higher chance.

Teen mode: the same Today, with no shop row and no banners.

Why write it down?

Early cycles jump around, so "when is my next one?" is hard to answer from memory. A few months of dates shows your usual gap, and the app gives a likely window for the next period so you can keep pads or a cup in your bag that week.

It also helps when something feels wrong. Saying "my last three periods lasted 9 days and I missed school twice for cramps" gives a doctor much more to go on.

Worth telling a doctor or school nurse

  • no period by 16
  • periods that last more than 7 days, or soak through a pad or tampon every hour or two
  • cramps that painkillers from a pharmacy do not help
  • periods that were regular and then stop

For parents and carers

The app asks for an age band, never a date of birth. Under 13 cannot sign up. Teen accounts see no products, no third-party ads and no marketing messages, and their health entries are never sold or shared for advertising. Your teen can start as a guest, which keeps everything on her phone.
