Personal girl question. GIRLS ONLY!!!?!


Question: Personal girl question. GIRLS ONLY!!!?
Okay so im 15 (a girl obviously), and im gonna be 16 in June, and i have not started my thing that happens every month for girls yet, and im getting worried. Is there something im supposed to do? Is there something wrong with me? Most of my friends started about 2 or 3 years ago. And i dont like to talk about this kind of stuff with my sisters or my mom cause i feel awkward abouot talking about things like that with them.

Answers:

Dont worry thats perfectly normal! i didnt get mine untill i was 16 and i'm 18 now and i have it regularly and everything so you dont need to worry i'm sure you will be the same. girls can start their periods from as late as 17 so dont worry you will be fine :) if your still worried or concerned, maybe have a chat with your doctor and he can reassure you. theres no rush to get it anyway, enjoy not having it it means you dont get cramps, mood swings and all the other horrible side effects that come with periods haha :) good luck, hope i helped! x



Firstly, it's OK to talk about this "stuff". The human body is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is not uncommon for a girl to start her period "later" than others. The AVERAGE age range for starting your period is about 12-16 years old. If you don't start within the next year, you should see a gynecologist to make sure that there isn't something preventing you from starting. There are SEVERAL factors that can delay onset of your period...being very underweight or very overweight, excessive exercise, stress, ill health...all these things can effectively "stop" your period. So, RELAX...and if you haven't started by the time you turn 17...go see your doctor!

It's a PERIOD. Use correct terminology. It's not embarrassing or awkward, and let me guarantee you that your sisters and your mom are well-experienced in the PERIOD department. For ****'s sake.
No, there is nothing you are supposed to do. Your period will come when your body is ready for it. If it makes you feel better, later menarche (first period) is linked to a much lower risk of breast cancer later in life.



no your not suppose to do anything but wait because by judgeing your age there is nothing wrong with you. it is very common for girls to get there periods at an older age all you need to do is to wait and it will come to you in no time. as for your mom and sisters i think you should talk to them more about this stuff even if it does make you feel awkward, if you were more open about it then the awkwardness might go away.
btw my mom didnt get her period until she was about 18, and remember everybody is different some people get it really early while others get it later in life so you have nothing to worry about =)



Every girl gets her period at different ages from the other ......... the time at which a girl gets her period differs from a girl to another and depends on the girl's inherited genes ................... A girl can get her period at the age of 12, another can get it at the age of 13 another 14, 15,17, 9 ............ I had a relative of mine who went to a doctor with her mother because she was 18 and havent started her period ............



You should be grateful tbh butbit understand your worry. As pp said I wouldn't worry for another year. If you ask mum and any sisters you may discover they started periods late too
However I'd get ball rolling and visit doctor they will assess you and run any relevant tests
Just to add being underweight or over weight can stop periods so check you've a healthy bmi.



hahaha! I'm sorry. You permitted to girls only for answering this question. But i was curious so opened ya question. Hmm. Ya it had happened to my gf too.till 6 months ago, she had got a problem like this and was also worried like you. She was 16 at that time. It's her and my too fortunate, It started and she's normal now.



Don't worry about talking to your sister or mom they are the people that are there for you. After you talk to your mom i would take a visit to you doctor and ask him or her. Just remember everyone is different and starts at different times.



Lucky. I started at 12 (I'm 13 now) and hate it. You should talk to your doctor about your worries. Make it a female doctor so you are more comfortable. You should be getting your period at 16. Most of the time it's nothing but it could be something.



I think around 16 and 17, if you haven't received your period, you should consult your doctor. Don't feel awkward talking to females in your family, they all went through it, and it won't be "disgusting" to them!



Its normal to not have your period yet at your age. I consider you lucky. Me starting at ten years old wasn't fun. I know your uncomfortable asking your mom, but ask when she started. When you start your period is usually genetic.



I got mine at 15 so its not abnormal. You should try and start talking with your mom and sisters (if they're older) about it cause they can help.



not everyone starts at the same age so relax. It will happen. I grew up with a girl who didn't start hers til she was 17.



You are a guy in the inside 'hormonally'
-Fact

im a guy



Well I got mine when was 11... so you're lucky!!!! Every girl is different..... Don't worry. it will come when its suppose to come.
