i have a girls only period question so pleas truthful answers.?

Question

how do i know when its coming and how do i know when my grow spurt will come i am the only one of my friends who havent started and i know i shouldnt want to start but i do.

Answer 1

i got mine pretty early.. when i was 11.. the day before.. i had a horrible stomach ache, but i didn't think it was my period because i was so young.. but i was wrong! lol.. the pains are much worse the first time, so don't worry!.. after a while, you'll know when "your time of the month is" it's usually around a month after you got it last.. don't worry.. if it happens for the first time in school.. it's really not a lot that comes out the first time... just go to the bathroom.. or go to the nurse.. and if ur too shy to say u got your period, just say i dont feel good and have ur mom pick u up and tell her.. don't worry... your growth sprirt comes pretty much when you get your period because you're starting puberty... you might gain a little weight too, but that's just temporary and it'll go away so don't worry..

hope i helped! there's nothing to worry about sweety!

Answer 2

I started my period when I was 10, and for the first 4 years or so, I had no idea when it was coming, besides the 28-day cycle thing, no PMs whatsoever. When I hit 14, I started getting horrible cramps, headache, nausea, backache, the whole bit. It was so bad that I'd miss a day or two of school. But it's been calming down recently (I'm 17) and I just have to learn to live with the pain.

It's always a little scary when you first start, but always remember to have a pad/tampon or two handy and a spare pair of underwear. Keep them in your backpack or something. Keep track of when you start and how long they last, and you should have a pretty good idea of when you're going to get it so it doesn't take you by surprise. And Midol/Pamprin will become your very best frined. The Therma Care Menstural Heat Pads also work wonders.

Don't worry about being the last in your group to start, it's defferent for everyone. And it's normal to "want to start." It's part of becoming a woman! You'll just curse it in a few years, trust me. ;) Unless youre 18/19, don't worry about not having it.

Hope this helped! :)

well one thing, don't be such in a hurry hehe
and its true everyone is different, I have friends who started at 9 and 10 I didn't start till I was 12 almost 13.
A menstrual cycle lasts from the first day of 1 period to the first day of the next. The typical cycle of an adult female is 28 days, although some are as short as 22 days and others are as long as 45. Periods usually last about 5 days, although that can vary, too. During a period, a woman passes about 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 59 milliliters) of menstrual fluid.

For the first few years after menstruation begins, periods are often irregular. They may be shorter (3 weeks) or longer (6 weeks), or a young woman may have only 3 or 4 periods a year. The absence of periods is called amenorrhea. A girl should see her doctor if she hasn't started menstruating by age 16 or 3 years after her first signs of puberty appeared
About 1 year after breast development begins, most girls enter into a phase of rapid growth. They'll get taller and curvier, and their feet will grow. Then, about a year after the growth spurt begins and about 2 years after breast development starts, the first period arrives
Here are some symptoms :)
You will probably feel some moderate symptoms when you first get your period. You may notice that you feel bloated or uncomfortable – this is caused by water that your body retains during menstruation. Other signs of menarche include a slight headache, leg ache or backache for a few hours. The most common symptom of menarche, is cramping. You may feel abdominal cramping, similar to a stomachache for the first few days of your period. Try taking an over-the-counter pain medication, such as Advil or Tylenol, for the pain.

You may notice some emotional changes too before your period. You may feel tense, angry, or sad because of the hormones your body is releasing. Don’t get too discouraged. These symptoms won’t last long.

Answer 4

If you have not started having your period, there is no exact way of knowing when is it really coming... the earliest age a girl can have is 9 (my daughter's friend has her at this age). Obvious ones are your growing hair all over (armpits etc...) and your breast starts to mold and your body is getting rounder.

If you already have it, usually all you have to check is the calendar. It's either you will have it 5 days or before your last menstrual date. So, if you had it on the 20th the previous month, expect your period to come anytime between the 15th-25th of the month around that period. Still no guarantee since everything will still be dependent on you body mechanics. If there's any changes (started a exercise routine, dieted or had problems of pressure) the date of your next period will be moved to another date.

I hope this enlightened you a little bit.

Answer 5

ask mom how old she was? you will get it around the same year she did . some girls get very bad cramping like you have to go to the bathroom. some get mild cramps (the lucky ones) some experience diarrhea some have to pee alot again ask mom how bad her signs were and are chances you will be just like her . for instance i did not get mine until i was 14 so did my daughter who is now 15. she gets bad cramps bleeds heavy and has severe mood changes just like i did . i had a hysterectomy at 35 so did my mom we had them for the same reasons however i have two other sisters who did not so some of the things will be some the same and some will not . not to worry sweety your time will come and it will happen in your favorite jeans you know the light colored ones (lol). that's the way it always happens you get it when you do not want it. tell you something when i was little i too could not wait and now that it is gone i do not miss it....oh some girls crave sweets and some crave salt i hope you crave sweets they are better for you than salt. salt makes you swell. take Advil during your period it keeps the bloating down this way you can wear your other favorite pair of jeans you know the dark ones(lol). start stocking up on pads deary. you will need them someday in the near future.

Answer 6

Everyone develops at different rates. One of my sisters started at age 11 and the other at age 12. I didn't start until I was 14. I wasn't really in a hurry anyway. And not everyone gets serious painful cramps. I have never had "cramps" in my life. Most women who are physically active don't have painful cramps with their period. Girls experience growth between the ages of 10 and 18. I was lucky enough to grow two more inches after high school.

Answer 7

Girls who are active in sport, or have a very "skinny" build are often later to start than their curvier classmates.

I was 14 when I started. On the way home from the beach I broke out in red bumps all over my body. When I got home there was blood in my panties. Boy, Was I scared. Mother said, Oh that's just your period, you will get it every month. I thought I was also going to break out every month. But ... I had measles! Any way, My periods were never regular, and I just had one like every 3-4 months, until I went on the pill. So everyone is different. Your turn will come soon. I hope the monthy period will be easy for you.

Answer 8

You could start from age 9-16 now.
Some girls start earlier than others.I
It is nothing to be so happy about startin.
but it is a part of life.
Remember u need midol or pamprin or your periods could
get hectic, crampin, moody, out of control.
A hotwater bottle on belly helps with periods.
Periods are really exhausting , u got to take a pill and
keep going, or u will be in bed on heatin pads and miserable.

Answer 9

Every woman is different. You may feel crampy and achey in the back. You may feel tired and cranky. You may notice spotting in your underwear. Do not be in a hurry for it to start because you are going to have it for a long time. When you get it and if you feel crampy I can tell you that midol works great also honestly exersise is a good thing for that time of the month, even though you might not feel like it is works well.

Answer 10

Usually before you get your period you begin developing breasts and also hair under your arms and between your legs. Most girls start their periods between age 11 and 16. If you are over 16 you should have your mom take you to the doctor UNLESS all the women in your family started really late.
