That's a perfectly acceptable age!. I was 11!. Nowadays if there are reasonable grounds for it, young girls who are suffering from premature puberty can be given injections, I think, to hold it off, but your daughter is a decent age to start her period!. Plus it can be distressing for girls if they are expecting their period but it doesn't come until they are in the midst of their teenage years!. Your daughter will have the advantage of getting to know how it feels to have a period earlier on in life, and at least her periods will regulate sooner than if she was in her teenage years, when it could be potentially more embarrassing for her if she has irregular periods which might make her feel self-conscious when planning to go to sleepovers with friends, swimming etc!. At least your daughter will know for sure!.
Plus, look on the positive side - she's started her period in the school holidays!. Imagine how distressing it would've been for her to start whilst she was at school!
Hope your daughter's coping fine! I remember crying all day when I started mine - not sure why, it just made me feel a little bit like I'd been pushed into 'womanhood' (how naive - that comes later :)) too soon! So make sure she's not feeling too delicate, look after her, and all will be fine in no time at all :) x

i was also 11 years old when i started mine (i remember it well as mum wasn't expecting it to happen then so had nothing in) i had no pain at all, i used to get period pains after about a year of starting mine once i became regular (once a month) then it wasn't agony, just ached a little!.
As i recall there wasn't loads of blood at first and it wasn't heavy and only lasted a couple of days then probably went nearly 6 weeks before my next one arrived!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's well within the normal range!. Average age at menarche (first period) in the US is about 12!.3 years old!. So she's a year, give or take a few months, younger than average!. It's just as normal to begin it at 11 as it is to begin it at 13!. Age at first period has been dropping and dropping in the West, likely due to increased average weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is perfectly normal!. The mean age in the UK is 12!.5 for a girl to have menarche (first period) I was 11 when I started too!. Some girls start as young as 8/9 (although rare)
Many women don't experience any pain when they have their period, this is perfectly normal, just be thankful she doesn't!Www@Answer-Health@Com

11 isnt to young!.!.!. the aveerage age is like 10-13 I think!. But iff she got alot of blood when she went pee are you sure shes not peeing blood!?!?But iff its her period just make her feel happy and like a women caus really she is!!im a kid and i just had my period so yahh!. Try not to tell people about it cuase my mom did that and its really embaracing and dont ask her like alot of questionsa about it cause it feels really unfomfortable haha!. i hope i helpled!.xoxoWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. I started mine when I was 10 years old!. 11 is a good age!. There are some girls who start as early as 8!. Its normal to have no pain, cuz I didn't with my first one!. Just make sure she understands that this is all normal!. Maybe give her some information about her period!. That way she can understand what it is!. She will probably get cramps when her cycle is more normal!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey! Well!.!.!.!.!.!.!.actually it is qouite normal to start at her age!.!.!.!.because of the stuff in our food latly is making girls hormones act while they r younger so it is very normal!. Also i have friends who have started and they never get cramps whatso ever! They just jave blood in there underware or when they go pee!. It is very normal!. I wouldn't worry!.!.!.!.but if you still feel worried give a call to the doctor!. But i think it is perfectly normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

11 is rare but it does happen!. In the 21st century, females are changing!. 11 is the new 21!. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic or smart!. It's just that life cycles change thru the centuries!. Girls are shaplier at 10 than girls 20/30/40 years ago at 10!. I didn't start wearing a bra until I was 13 and it's not because I'm small breasted!. I'm not!. Girls today are "budding" much earlier now and starting periods earlier, too!. I even read a story about hormones in our food contributing to this very thing in Readers' Digest!.

She should get her first pap smear soon just to make sure all is well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah the horomines in food these days are making kids have there periods at young ages!. and yes i didnt get cramps till like a year!. and in her first year its also normal to have ur period like once or twice a month sometimes!. so if she gets it a lot dont worry about that eitherWww@Answer-Health@Com

no worries !
Everyone matures at their own paste, and its obvious shes just maturing at a fast paste:) I wouldn't worry about it though, a girl can get their period from the age of 8 or 9 ! As long as shes happy, you have nothing to worry about !

Good Luck to you and your daughter !

Tel her not to give up maybe some of her friends have their periods tooWww@Answer-Health@Com

this is very normal, every girl is different, so some mature faster than others!. Some girls have gotten their periods much earlier than that!. There is no need to worry, just make sure you have some pads for her!. And if she does have stomach cramps I find that 2 Tylenol help a whole lot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Completely normal!. I started my period when I was 11, and I didn't even notice! I didn't feel anything, and it's only about 2 months later when told my mum that I had strange stains that she told me what it was, haha!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's actually the average age for girls to start their periods!!!
Both my Sisters started theirs at 11, and so did both of my Daughters!. I, on the other hand was a late developer, and didn't start mine until I was almost 17!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i was 12 when i got mine!. and it was the same for me!. no cramps, no moodiness, no nothing!. i still don't get cramps and all of that!. it's perfectly normal!. in a couple years she'll start getting cramps and all of that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes it is very normal!. i also started when i was eleven and had absolutely no pain at all!. but then i got older and it got heavier and the cramps kicked in!. but some girls dont ever experience menstural cramps!. lucky them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes its normal one person i know got her period when she was 9 thats rare!.!.!.!.but 11's fine!. When i first started my perid i didn't know i had it because i had no cramps!. To this day i have months were i don't have pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i started at the age of 10

and when i started i had NO pain at all so i think it is the earlier you start the less pain u have cuz that what it seems like

but than it could just be bodiesWww@Answer-Health@Com

I myself have got my period at the age of 11
And not to mention that my periods are painless since then (though very rarely I feel pain, but nothing too extreme)
So, no worries, it's completely normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got mine when I was twelve, and didn't feel any pain, just noticed I was bleeding!. I was mortified to tell my mother, so hopefully you can bring it up with her without her feeling too embaressed about it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I started my period when I was 8!. Yeah, I had premature puberty!. It's normal for her to start early!. It seems okay!. I wouldn't worry if I were you!. But if you must, go to a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that everyone is different!. I was in 6th grade when I started mine!. All of the hormones that are in foods nowadays are causing kids to develop earlier!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

With better nutrition nowadays young girls are reaching womanhood earlier!. Some fools are trying to lower ages of consent as a direct result of this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yep it is!. 11 is youngish but not uncommon!. First periods aren't usually painful anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First time doesn't need to be painful at all, and beside many women never suffer from PMS, so hopefully your little girl is one of the lucky one!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. I am on a period with no pain!. Also I got my 1st period on May 28,2007 and was 11 1/2 and i'm 12 1/2Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know that 11 might seem young but there are people who have started much younger - my friend's little sister started hers when she was 9! All of us are different and so are our periods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its actually quite common these days for them to begin this early!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
