do you have to be a certain weight to have ur first period?

Question

I am tall and small

Answer 1

if you are naturally slim then it will come on it's own when it's time. but if u are starving yourself or throwing up, then u are damaging ur body and throwing everything out of whack internally. sometimes some females don't menstruate until they reach at least 100 lbs, depending on their bulid, if they are supposed to be tall. if they are under 100 lbs and aren't meant to be any bigger, then if nothing is wrong it will come

Answer 2

Not really although the average weight at the onset of menses is 100 pounds. My daughter started when she was just turned 10 and was only 80 pounds. Most girls will be near 100 hundred pounds , but it can vary quite widely.

Answer 3

nope it has nothing to do with your weight, it has to do with your age. some girls have their first period at the age of 12 & others sometimes not until the are 17.

Answer 4

No you dont have to be a certain weight it will come on its own and you will hate it

Answer 5

no you do not have to be a certain weight but you do have to have enough body mass there is a very big difference talk to your doctor

Answer 6

Not unless you have an eating disorder but that has nothing to do with weight, that has to do with the illness.

Answer 7

my cousin was like 80 pounds at 16 and therefore it took her a longer time to get her period...

Answer 8

no it will come when your body is maured and ready sometime normally between ages 10-16 relax it will come soon enough and you will hate it even faster trust me

Answer 10

no, you don't have to be a certain wieght, but anorexic girls, (not calling you anorexic) and girls with other eating disorders usually don't get them because they are malnurished.
