Well, I just started mine this month (I'm 11.), and I had discharge (also known scientifically as resin :P.) for yeah, about 4-5 months. You will probably be starting your period soon, so keep a pad around for when it DOES happen. \nPS: Pads are better for the first 2-3 times.

first of all if this happened in May, Why did you wait 6 month to ask about it. Second black discharge is definitely not normal, some white discharge is. You need to go see a obgyn A.S.A.P. or if you are under 18 you need to tell your mother. it could be something serious

you're fine! Its normal for periods to get all out of whack at your age. I'm 20 and it still happens to me.

I didn't start until I was fifteen. It is very unusual and rare indeed for a woman never to have any periods, so don't worry about it too much. \n\nI thought I would never start, but it came eventually. All you can do is wait and rest assured that you WILL get there in the end. It's totally different for everybody - some girls start at nine, others at sixteen, and a few even later than that. I'm sure you're a perfectly healthy young lady.\n\nThey say you are likely to start your periods about a year or so after your breasts begin to develop and around the same age that your mother started, but don't rely entirely on that! My mother started when she was twelve and I had breasts for at least two years before I started. It's all normal, and whatever time you start will be the right time for you.

Hey im 12 and got my period at your age. Wear a pad. Thats what im wearing now, Don't worry. I knew about this WAAAAY before you but we learn at diffrent ages. don't be afraid to ask your mother or another female. Even a dad or uncle is ok too. I don't get alot of cramps but I usually sleep for awhile. I have PMS thats pre menstral syndrome. That means im irritated and have symptoms earlier. Don't wear tampons at your age either. Stick with pads unless your parents say somthing. In school try to be the same as usual. You also might bloat. If period symptoms get in the way get some midol. (sp?) Also when wearing a pad try to stay away from swimming or somthing like that. For sleeping use overnight pads. If you don't have any use a normal pad and put a dark towel under you. Stay away from light clothing. If it gets stained it'll be seen like white on black. During your period wear red,dark blue,black etc. So if its stained its hard to notice. If you ever see a red stain on your pants then welcome to the woman race. Also if you have vaginal discharge (White creamy stuff) on that 'area' Then its close to coming. Be prepared. Trust me I found out I had mine because I wore a white nightgown to bed that night. I didn't know it was there until my mom literally yelled it to me infront of my brother. So if you get yours tell her. Don't make her have to shout it like its the fourth of July.  You may also get some other hormones around this time like starting to like boys. You don't have to wonder 'What the heck? I like a boy!' like I did. But don't let it get outta hand. All a period is is when an egg dies inside you. It bleeds and thats what causes a period. It isn't just blood. It can be tiny little clots of it too. This is normal to have. A period should last from 3 to 10  days. You should only get it once a month. Light or heavy be prepared. For light periods get To-Go pads instead of using a big pad. For heavy ones get thick pads. for inbetween use normal. Try to relax during a period too. Don't overdo it either. If you do you get irritated and snap at people and don't mean to. I did this alot and got into trouble. Save yourself a lecture and don't overdo it and relax. Bring a small bag to school in your backpack or somthing and put in extra underwear and pads or tampons if thats what your parents want you to use. You'll thank yourself if you do that so you don't make it public cause somtimes people are busybodies and try to see what you're doing. Do this if you are embarrased about asking for a pad at school from your male/female teacher. But don't be they do this all the time.\n\n\nIf you wanna talk email me at:\n\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nOR use IM\n\nYIM\nqueen_zelda2002@yahoo.com\n\nMSN\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nAIM\nsatinfairy

your period can be irregular for a while when you first start getting it i got mine when i was 11 but it wasn't completely regular until i was almost 15 even now,at 17, i'm going on birthcontrol to help regulate it more b/c i have a short cycle (come almost a week early every time) diet and exercise can have an effect on it too. Talk to you docter about it next time you go in but know that it is perfectly normal

estimate are very hard to make. most girls get it between the age of 8 and 16 so start worring when you are 16... your still young. and if you really want to know wiegh yourself every week. if your weight is increases a few pounds unexpectedly there is high chance that is because you have a lot of fluids in ur body and you are going to get your period the following week. also if you ask you mom, both your grandma, your aunts, and sisters if you have any how old they were when they got theres, your probably will probably get your on average at the same time as they did.\n\nedit* most girls also usally get there period about 2 years after there boobs start to develop

Yes, it is normal, that is the usual lenght of time blood comes out. And it's fine if you have a really heavy flow it evens out later on with time. Every period has it's own pattern so don't stress yourself out so much. If you want more info check with your doctor do not be embarassed they know more about this than anyone else in the world. Also don't be afraid to speak with an aunt or a femal cousin or your mom about it usually girls need support from a feminie figure to help them through the confusion.\n\nJust some facts about your period:\ngo to yahoohealth and research menstration cycle as well as puberty.

its different for everyone.\nI have seen as early as 8 and as late as 19\nbut take her to the doctor if you are concerned

This is totally normal, it will take a while before they sort themselves out. When i first started i would go months without a period. If it carries on too long maybe talk to your mum and see the doctor, She will understand

It would be best to talk to your doctor about that. It could be a number of things, but it would be safer for you to speak with a doctor. Don't worry about not getting your period yet, some people are just late bloomers and there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Registered Nurse here; Hun sounds like you have a hormonal imbalance.  I strongly suggest you make appointment with OB/GYN and go in for evaluation.  Also don't faint, but if you have been sexually active you could be pregnant.  For many times when the female breast feeds, her menstrual cycles will stop, however ovulation doesn't and bang your pregnant.  Another reason I strongly encourage you to see the Doc.  At any rate this is not normal, and needs to be addressed, so that you can get the imbalanced resolved, prior to it becoming a big issue.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

Is this your first period- or your first BAD period.  Either way you should talk to your Mom- or caregiver.  It's nothing to be concerned about- you'll have many years of monthly visits from that friend.  \nMaybe you could add more to your question about your concern?

no dear nothing is wrong...some women go six months in between periods...my advice is go see on gyn...or a dr at health department near you

There isn't anything wrong with you! Some people start their periods at different times from others. My best friend didn't start hers until she was 16. The only reason to call a doctor would be if you hadn't gotten your period by the time you were 18--that's called "primary amenorrhea." \n\nDon't worry---you ARE normal! :)

you're probably fine, sweetie.\ncheck this site out. It may be a mid-cycle thing, okay? Dont panic before you have a better idea of what it is.\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/handouts/vaginal_discharge.html\n\nTry and get health insurance, okay? Very important.

The normal time to start having a period is between 10 and 16.  It's ok if you don't have one yet and your friends do.  Don't worry, it will happen for you.  And don't try to rush it.  Once it happens, you will understand why I've said that.  I personally started at 8 (which is VERY early), but my mother and my sisters all started at 15 or 16.  It's normal.  I'm not sure how old you are.  But as long as you are under about 16, it's ok if it hasn't happend for you yet.  Talk to your mother (if that's possible for you) and find out how old she was.  This will help you better understand what is happening and when it will happen for you.
