Weight/period?!


Question: Weight/period!?
Do you have to be a certain weight to get your period!? I am nearly 14, 76lbs!. I was born premature so I'm really small!. I haven't had my period yet!. Does that have something to do with being premature or really light weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, if you don't have enough body fat, it is very hard to start your period!. It might take you awhile longer to start if you maintain the weight you are at!. If you haven't gotten your period by the time you are 16, you could ask your mom to take you to the doctor and get started on birth control to help you start your period!. Good luck, sweetie!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I didn't start my period until the week before my 16th birthday, and I can't say I'm skinny, hehe

so no, it doesn't really have to do with the weight, unless you are anorexic, which can cause you to skip periods and other natural body functions!.

each person's development is different, if you think there is something wrong with you, you should ask your mom, a doctor etc!. But really, just have patience :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I didnt start my periods until i was 17 because i was underweight!. You need 22% body fat to get your period and 17% body fat to maintain a regular cycle!.!.!.!.I was premature 2 but I dont think that has anything to do with late development!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sometimes yes!. if your aneroexic you can skip your periods so it might be related!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
