Answer 2

A girl's period, also known as menstruation, begins after she reaches puberty. Girls usually get their first periods between the ages of 10 and 16, which is about 2 to 2-½ years after their first signs of puberty (breast development is usually the first sign of puberty, but sometimes pubic hair comes first). However, some girls start puberty a little earlier or later than others, which is still normal.

A clue you can use to figure out when you might get your period is to check your underwear for vaginal discharge. This clear or whitish, mucus-like discharge usually appears about 6 months before the first period does.

You can also ask your mom how old she was when she got her first period. Girls who get their first period later than average often find that their moms or other female relatives also went through puberty later than average.

Just because you're 14 and haven't gotten your period yet doesn't necessarily mean that anything's wrong with you. Some girls, though, may not be getting their first periods for other reasons. Girls who are underweight or who have eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa may notice a delay in the beginning of their periods. Girls who are very athletic may not get their periods until they stop exercising or competing so vigorously. Severe stress or certain illnesses also can delay menstruation.

It's also possible for a girl to get pregnant before she gets her first period.

If you have questions or concerns about when you'll get your period, you should talk to your doctor.

Answer 3

Nothing is wrong. Some girls don't get their period until they are 16 or older. If you don't get it by time you are 16 then you need to see your doc to be sure everything is ok but for now relax and enjoy not having the monthly hassle and pains of a period.

Answer 4

Relax and enjoy!

Usually you will follow in the foot steps of your parents...if they were late bloomers, you are bound to be as well.

Also, if you are thin and have very low body fat, you will delay your period (many professional gymnasts have not started their periods...even at age 22!!!) Biologically, you are made to reproduce. If you have very low body fat, your brain is signaling that you are still a "child" and are not ready to begin the ovulation/period process.

Answer 5

Not everyone does at the same time. If you are that worried see your Doctor. Make an excuse. The Dr can't tell your parents due to the HIPAA law if you are worried about that.

Answer 6

Hey be happy!!!!! Did you know girls who start their periods at a later age have a less chance of developing female cancers later????

Answer 7

nothing is wrong. lots of girls don't get them until they are 16. some get their period when they are 11. just depends. Enjoy not having it.

Answer 8

don't be concerned, some girls just blossom late, only be concerned if you don't get your period by the time you are about 21. Don't stress, don't freak just relax you'll get there.

Answer 9

nothing is wrong, it's normal not to get your period until you 16, you have awhile before you have to worry, enjoy the time you have because your period is nothing enjoyable
Good luck!
