Question:
Periods Have to do with my breasts... (girls only please help!)?
I am 12 going in to 7th grade. I have had my period for about, almost 2 years now. Adn yet, my breasts seem to have not been growing at all since I got my period, and they are still breast buds. I thought they were supposed to grow quite quickly when you start. My friend also said that starting now, every other year will be big growth spurts for our breasts. Is this true??? I am becoming very impatient because in all the healthbooks I read, they said your breasts were supposed to grow very rappidly after beggining your period. Mine are still buds! When will they start growing, and why havent they started, and is the thing that my friend said true??? Thanks for all your advice! Greatly Appreciated!
Answers:
You are at a very 'individualized' growth period in your life, meaning that everyone grows and develops at their own speed based mostly on heredity. One of the best sources of info for you is your Mom. Ask her if she remembers when her breast started filling in and that will give you an idea of what to expect. If you have an older sister, talk to her too. Being unique is what makes humans so cool.....no 2 are exactly alike!
Here is a great website for info too...
