my mum started her period at 10 but i am 13 and still dont have mine, is this no!


Question: My mum started her period at 10 but i am 13 and still dont have mine, is this normal ?
All of my friends have started their period, i am the only one who hasn't.
Also my mum started at 10 and her sister started at 9.
I am 13 and have not started mine.
Is this normal?
Do I need to go and see my doctor and get the hormone injection?
Also I have pubic hair (a lot of it) and hairs under my arms!
Also I have decent sized boobs!
What shall I do?
I am very confused!
Thanks in advance !!

Answers:

It's totally normal! Your period will start when the hormones in your body tell it to start. Although some girls start around the same time as their mothers, many do not!

My mom started her when she was 10 but i didn't get mine until i was 14.

Just be patient, it will come! :)



Honey, you're fine. I was in exactly the same position as you. Exactly the same! You don't have to worry about a thing, just enjoy life free of period worries while you still can. You're completely normal, your period is probably on its way and it will DEFINITLEY come, so don't give it a second thought. Trust me, when it does come, you will appreciate how great life was without having to worry about leaking blood on a monthly basis.
Don't get the hormone injection, the doctor wouldn't give it to you anyway, since the average age to get your first period is between 10 - 17. My Mum was 17 when she got her's. I got my first on December 16th last year and I'm 13. All my friends had their's! Just consider yourself lucky, I would love to be in your position.

It will come soon enough :/ xxx

Mee!



that is VERY normal just because she got it at 10 ( which is actualy VERY early) doesnt me you do to, i got mine 4 years after my mom get her first period, everyone is different trust me its not something to look forward to



you dont need to see a doctor some familys it has an effect if your family douse not have a history of starting at the same/simular age then your fine you would be anyway it depends on your higfht weight and all that



I started when I was 10 trust me you are lucky! Periods arent fun, enjoy the freedom while you can you will get your turn soon just be prepared at all times! It will happen when you least expect it! :-)

and dont worry you DONT want it to come it makes you feel all gross and its painful
