I am 11-and I have'nt started my period yet?WHEN WILL I??? When did u?

Question

GIRLS-HELP!!!!

Answer 1

I was 13 when I started my period.
You need to be over 100 lbs before you start your period, you also need to have started developing your breasts. If you period is on it's way, you will have genital and armpit hair.
Some symptoms that "Aunt Flow" is on her way include increased acne, cramping, spotting, mild to severe irratiblity, increased oil production in hair and skin, sore muscles, and tender breasts.
If you havn't gotten your period yet, don't worry! Some girls don't get thiers until they are 18 years old.
Best of Luck!

Answer 2

I was 13. 11 is a bit young. Also, you will stop growing when puberty is over, so grow awhile then wait for your period to happen. Plus, you won't like it once you have it. For the first 10 years of my period I would throw up everytime I had my period. Not fun. Some people have bad ones, some easy, just wait.
Plus this is a question you should be asking your mother or a school nurse or something. Not on Yahoo.

No one can say exactly when you'll get your first menstrual period, but you will get it some time during puberty. Puberty is the time in your life when you begin to become an adult. This means a lot of growing and changing - both inside and out. Some girls start puberty at age 8, and others may start as late as age 14 or 15. Each girl goes at her own pace. So don't think you're weird if you start puberty a little earlier or a little later than your friends.


At the beginning of puberty, you'll notice that your breasts are developing and you're starting to grow a little hair under your arms. Hair also will grow on your genitals (pubic hair).

For most girls, their first menstrual period, or menarche (say: meh-nar-kee), begins about 1 1/2 to 2 years after breast development starts. In some girls, the time from the beginning of puberty to getting the first menstrual period may take only 6 months; for other girls, it may take longer - up to 3 years. Every girl is different, and there is a wide range of normal development during puberty.

A good sign you're getting close to the time when your first period will arrive is if you notice a thick, white mucous discharge coming from your vagina. Usually, this happens for a number of months before you get your first period.

After you've gotten your period and you're menstruating, it means that your body is able to have a baby (even though you probably don't want one yet!). Every girl has two ovaries filled with thousands of tiny eggs and two fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries to a place called the uterus or womb, where babies grow. If you've already gotten your period, it means that special chemicals, or hormones, in your body are telling the eggs in your ovaries to mature.

So each month, one egg matures and begins its journey to the uterus. While it's traveling, the walls of your uterus get thicker with blood and tissue, which can act as a nice, soft cushion for a baby. Once the egg reaches the uterus, if it hasn't been fertilized by sperm, the uterus doesn't need this blood-and-tissue cushion and pushes it out through your vagina. Ta dah! Your period has arrived!

Once you get your period, you may once again worry about whether you're normal. No two girls' periods are exactly alike. Some girls have periods that last for 2 days, and other girls have periods that last for more than a week. Some girls have very heavy periods with monthly cramps, and others have much lighter periods after the first couple of days.

It also takes a while (usually 12 to 18 months) for a girl's period to become regular after her first period. You may get your first period and then not have another for a few months. That's perfectly normal. The amount of blood you lose during your period can vary, too. You can bleed anywhere from a few spoonfuls to a cup (240 milliliters) of blood each time you have your period.

If you think that you are bleeding too much or are worried that something is wrong, talk to your doctor. Some differences are normal, but you shouldn't be bleeding for a few weeks at a time or going more than 6 months without a period.

Are you thinking a lot about when your first period will arrive? You're not alone. Lots of girls wonder and wonder - when will it come? If you feel a little worried or anxious about getting your period, it can help to talk to someone you trust, like your mom or older sister.

13

Answer 5

First, I want to reassure you that pie-jur-wot is absolutely WRONG. Reaching menarche (your first period) a 8-9 is called precocious puberty and it's actually a sign of something wrong.

As for when you'll have your first period, well, that will be when you're genetically programmed to have it. You can get a idea of that by talking with your mother, with your mother's sisters, if any, with your older sister's, if any, and with your mother's mother.

In general, if you haven't reached menarche by the time you turn 16, you should see your doctor and discuss it. In the meantime, though, stop worrying about this one. It's not worth the extra stress.

The age at which any of us, other than your mother and your mother's first degree female relatives reached menarche, simply isn't relevant to your body's timetable..

Answer 6

I was barely 12 years old, and young for my class. That was 43 years ago, and I'm happy to say, I don't have to deal with that any more! If you are worried at age 11, then the age has dropped. Enjoy your freedom while you have it. There will be plenty of time for all of that other stuff soon enough.

Answer 7

The normal age is between 11-15 I belive most girls get it at about 13 and some girls get it as young as 9.

Answer 8

Wait for it. The average/'normal' time for a young woman to start mensturating is anytime between the ages of 9 and 16.

Your 11. Wait for it.

Answer 9

I don't know when you will start but I started when I was 10, don't be all stressed out about it because even though it's the most important part of your woman hood when it comes you'll wish that it would go away because I had a friend that everytime she had her period she got sick.

Answer 10

Okay First girls usually don't get their periods at 11. Most girls get them at around 13 like I did so chill and go talk to your mom
