now a-days it's normal. My younger sis and I started @ a younger age than most she was 7 years old and I was 8 also and were 17 and 18 now. It's compleatly normal, we've even went to a doctor to make sure. If you think something is wrong with you go see a gynacoligist, they'll tell you. and answer any of your questions.

Honey, you are being normal for a 12 year old. Your body is finally changing into adult hood. Talk to your mother about it. It may help you in your feelings. You can be depressed at the age of 12, but you can stop it from happening by talking to her about it. Your period may be about to start, which is scary for someone your age, and as someone who has had her period for 12 years now, I know you have all these emotional things that happen and you dont know why. Sucks, but that is the price we have to pay for being female. Good luck sweety. And feel better.

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! :)

It's just normal for a 14-year-old if she doesn't get her period. There is what we call late menarche or late onset of menstruation. Just wait until she's 15 or if it worries you, then it's time for you to consult your doctor

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.

See when other females in your family started their menses, this will give you a clue when you would probably start yours.\n\nBoys and girls now experience puberty at younger ages than previous generations. In general, girls enter puberty between ages 8 and 13 and reach menarche (first menstruation) several years later, while boys enter puberty between ages 9 and 14. The reasons for earlier menarche in girls are not well understood.

Listen, absolutely nothing to worry about. People tend to mature at different stages in life. It is true that most people start puberty at age 12-13, but I know of people who started at 16 and they are just fine. \n\nIt is all about hormones, when they kick in, puberty starts. Your hormones wil kick in, it is a matter of time. Be patient, I know it can be a little odd and perhaps even embarrassing, but it will happen. On the physical side, again nothing to worry about, you are still within the normal range. If you turn 16 and u did not hit puberty yet, then you might want to visit a doctor.

You are normal.  If this were abnormal, your mother would be taking you to the doctor.  In the beginning, periods can be very irregular.  In fact, they can be this way throughout your teens.  When I was younger, mine came between 25 and 35 days apart once they got going.  In the very beginning (I was 11), they were even more sporadic.\n\nHave your mother buy you a book about the changes your body is going through to help you know what to expect and why everything is happening the way that it is.  Not only will this make you feel better, it will also give you a point of reference to know when something is NOT normal and when you should go to a doctor.\n\nA good one might be: \nWhat's Happening to My Body? Book for Girls : A Growing Up Guide for Parents and Daughters (Paperback)  by Lynda Madaras

I had the same problem when I was 13 (i'm 16 now). It doesn't do or mean anything. Just that you have a heavy period. There's nothing you can do at all about it either except use bigger pads and tampons. I used to have to use tampons so big that it physically hurt. That sucked! Now I'm 16 and I still have really heavy periods, except I have cramps all month and so they put me on birthcontrol. hopefully that will help because that's basically all you can do, and all the doctors will do until they are sure that it won't help.\n\n\n\nps. Old lady, you're really rude, she's 13 she's probably embarassed about it and wants another opinion first. And if you're annoyed with the question don't answer it. I mean think about it, whn you fist started your period you probably wouldn't have wanted to talk about it with your parents and you think that just because she asked on this doesn't mean she diesn't want to go to the doctor she just wants an answer. Maybe you forgot what it's like to be young and be afraid because your body is changing and it can be really scary. I was afraid when I started having cramps all the time and the same situation and I asked people I didn't know too and looked it up on the internet. So maybe you should think about the age and how the person feels before being mean about a question that scares an inexperienced person.

Talk to your doctor. This is not uncommon in some girls. My sister only got her period every 3 months and then had to go on birth control to make it regular. Definately go to the doctor.

it depends how old you are. if you just got your period within the last year, its fairly normal. as long as it doesnt happen too often, its fine. or maybe youre getting mutiple periods in a 21-23 day cycle? thats normal also for a teen; your periods should be regulized after a year. if youre an an adult or have had your period for over a year and a half, definitely see a doc. all they can do is help. and theres nothing to be embarrassed about; if your friends/fam ask, just say you got an ear infection or something. theyll never know. ;)

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.
