I have a *girls* only question!?!


Question: I have a *girls* only question!.?
I want to know when the average girl gets her first period. I first got the talk at school when I was nine, so I really didn't expect to have it till I was thirteen or so.
Now I am thirteen, and every girl in my grade got theirs last year... but me. I have four sisters who all got theirs around 11-13 and my cousin is ten and already got hers!
I just don't know when to expect to get mine!
Help!! Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It seems most girls do start around 12 or 13 but the age range is usually from 9 all the way up to 16 years old. I got mine when I was 13. Don't worry too much, you're normal. I know three years is a long time away but if by age 16 you haven't gotten your period then you would get your mom to schedule an appt with a gynecologist to see what's going on. But for now if you're really worried about getting it at a bad time, asks your sisters if you can have a couple of their pads to carry in your purse then that way if it happens you are ready. Luckily I was at home when I started but I wish someone had prepared me a little more before I started my period. It will happen before you know it and you'll wish you never had the thing ever again! :) Health Question & Answer

Anywhere from 9-18.

However, these days girls are getting periods as young as 5 and 6 (but that's very rare). As long as your a healthy girl, you have nothing to worry about and there's definitely nothing to be jealous about. Periods are nothing but a pain in the butt and you'll wish you didn't start once you do. My mom started at 14 and I started at 11 so it's not genetics at all. It happens when YOUR body is ready. Enjoy your childhood for now, and don't stress! It'll come before you know it.Health Question & Answer

I got mine when I was 12. I do know a couple of girls I went to school with that didn't get theirs till they were 17. Everyone is different. Worrying and stressing about it won't do you any good. Just be patient and savor the times without it. You'll be cursing it soon enough I am sure.Health Question & Answer

well every girl is different i got mine when i was 12-13 and my sister got hers the year after i did and my mom actually was a year younger than i was when she got her first period i have a friend who got hers when she was like 10-11 so yeahHealth Question & Answer

Don't worry, I was 15 when I got my period. Believe me, you should be happy you haven't got it yet. Everyone's bodies develop at different times in your life. This just means that your body isn't ready to menstruatete yet. There is nothing to worry about.Health Question & Answer

I just depends on the person...there are a lot of factors. My daughter didnt get hers till she was 15, I got mine at 11. It isnt uncommon not to have it till high school. Dont worry, be happy about it! You WILL get it...it is just a matter of time. Dont grow up too fast. Health Question & Answer

I was 13 , now you are 13 for a whole 12 months so there is still time for you to get it at 13, if not you may be 14 or 15, its all OK as long as you have other signs of puberty...dont worry it will arrive soon enough and then you will wish it hadnt happened yet.Health Question & Answer

You'll get it when your body is ready. Don't worry. 13 is still young. Some girls dont get it until 16, sometimes even later!

And don't be in a hurry to get your period...it's not exactly fun. Health Question & Answer

I know I'm a guy but that's totally normal. You can be up to 16 before you get it, and that's totally up to the hormones in your body nothing you can change.
