The age of getting your period can depend on the age of your mother when she got hers!.

I got mine at the age of 14!. If you haven't gotten your period when you hit the age of 16, its best if you seek the advice of a doctor!.

Warning Signs can be a light brownish discharge, cramps that could feel like intense gas pains, fatigue, and bloating!.

I recommend Midol's Maximum Strength it has helped me through many periods!.

Good Luck!.!.!.!.and don't worry, it will come! :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no normal age!.
