It was so long ago for me i have no memory of what i felt like then. She (my daughter) is complaining of an uncormforatble tummy ache which she has had for a couple of days. I'm taking her to the docs monday but i was just wondering if it could be the start of her periods. Does anyone have a child of similar age(11) to give some advice?

Well, when I started 4 years ago I wasn't experiencing much then near 12 midnight I had a huge cramp and so I wasn't expecting it but then I check my under ware and tada there was my period. I hated that night. I couldn't sleep for hours luckily it was on Christmas break and I didn't have school. I started on new years lol. I will never forget it. But about your daughter having stomach pains, my friend who is 12 just started hers last Sunday and I remember one day when she was 11 and I went over there, she said she had the worst stomach pains for the past 3 days with no eating, nothing. Her mother and I talked and said she could start any time. A month went by and she started. So yes it could be a symptom. By the way, when I started mine for the first time I was so scared didn't know what to do, I didn't have my mom to ask anything because she passed early that year (2004) and I got mine on Dec 31st 2004 at 11:38

i started my period when i was 11. and ill never forget how i felt. - tired, low on energy, crap all day - i thought i was coming down with a bug so i didnt eat and ended up fainting in the middle of a shop. that night i started my period.
its differant for everyone i suppose.
the best thing is to seek advice from your doctor - as it may not be this. can you remember what age you were when you first started? as i have heard this can past down. i was 11, my aunty was 11 as was my mam and my sisters.

I'm 23 and can still remember it like it was yesterday, basically, I felt like, I think you can picture this, it felt like, you know conkers, conkers that fall of the tree, well, it felt like I had one of those in my never regions. I had this for a few month's and then I had my period. Hope this may help.

i remember having a discharge when I first started, then every month thereafter, there was a discharge.
Now that I am on the pill, all I can do is hope and pray that it works because that symptom has virtually disappeared! lol
