Question: I am 18 years old and I have not started my period yet!.!?
could this be a bad sign!. Does this mean that I might not be able to have kids!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Most girls should have their period by 16!. The average age is between 12 & 14!. Not having your period by 18 is not automatically a sign of something wrong!. However, it is always better to get it checked out just in case!.

Some things to consider:

1!. Has your body undergone other physical changes associated with puberty!? When!? Were you younger, or have they started happening recently!? You may just be a late bloomer!.

2!. If you have a very low body fat percent, your body won't menstruate because it is not healthy enough to reproduce!. So, if you are very athletic/muscular or just have a very low body fat percent for whatever reason, the problem may be there and not with your reproductive organs!.

Whether these things are or aren't the case, you still need to make an appointment with a doctor!. You can probably see your normal physician first, but he may refer you to an OB/GYN!. They will be able to tell you if you have low B!.F!. percent!. You may have an imbalance of hormones, or many other things!. If there is something seriously wrong, it is always better to find it out now instead of later!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

This could be serious and you should talk to your doctor asap!. You should start your period before the age of 16!. It could be endometriosis, or you could have a cyst or something else!. So definately see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No i dont think that you wont be able to have kids once you do start your period, but you should have started your period by now!. You should go to your dr!. to find out why you havent started yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to see a ob/gyn doctor to see what is going on!. Have you gone thru puberty!? You need to have an ultrasound to see if you have all the female organs etc!.!.!.!.Good Luck!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
