it varies - depends mostly on how quickly your body matures.  Some have their period as young as 10 and others don't get one until they are sixteen or seventeen.

Definitely tell your mom. after all she's a woman, if not anything else. She'll surely be able to tell you. probably its a genetic trait, to get delayed periods. Armed with all this info, U and your mom cud see the GYN y u'v not had your periods. \n\nDon worry. I got my periods wen i was nearly 16. an my mom was hell worried till then.. iv had problems with it after that too, but nothing which was not solvable. \n\nSo chill. Have faith in the Lord as well. \n\nTake care and lemme know. K?

Generally it starts between the ages of 11-15 but I have heard of cases where it didnt start till 17.  If you are in the mid to upper teens and still havent gotten your cycle yet, (Im assuming you are a female), then go see your family physician to make sure nothing is wrong other than your body is simply not ready yet.  Also, if you are extremely athletic, your cycle could be delayed by that.  Dont worry.  Im sure everything is fine.

When you first begin menstruating, most girls are irregular.  If after turning 18/19 and if your doctor agrees, you could seek treatment to make your periods regular (though they will almost definitely be more regular then).  Hormones (in birth control pills) have side effects and you should keep your use of them to a minimum, especially when you are still developing and maturing.

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.

When a young girls begins puberty, many changes are occurring in her body.  There is no set time table for these changes...you just have to be patient and let your body sort it all out.  Most girls begin to menstruate about 2 to 2 1/2 years after their breasts start to develop.  The first several cycles of your period can be sporadic and difficult to predict.  It is not uncommon for girls to have their first period and then go several months with no occurrence, some spotting, some cramping, etc.  Just hang in there; eventually, all of your bodies systems will level out and start working together, allowing for a more regular and easier to predict cycle.

Don't worry.  Every girl is different.  Your body isn't ready yet and that is normal.  Enjoy not having a period yet because they really suck for most girls.  My daughter is 12 and she spotted once when she was 11 and then nothing since.  That can happen too.  Normal.  Most girls don't get their period and have a regular 28 day cycle from the beginning.  I've known lots of girls that don't get their period until they are in their mid to late teens.  It's not as common as those of us that start early on (I was 11) but it's not abnormal or anything to stress about. :)

It varies, but most women in their 50s.\n\nYou can be in perimenopause in your 40s, but you usually don't completely stop until the 50s. It also depends on how young you were when you got your period.

Hello, I got my period on my 16th birthday, and I was skinny and athletic just like you. The reason why you are not having your period yet is probably because you are so athletic and skinny and also don't get nervous or stressed to much; it might delay your period. Just relax and nature will take its course. I hope this helps you.

Not with your age.Menopause represents the end of menstruation, and you are still so young to think of it. I still think that it is good to check with the doctor from the begining to have a normal period.\nIrregular period might indicate a future problem, and the best thing is to check it out from the begining.

It's perfectly normal - especially in your teenage years as the body is constantly changing.  Moods, stress, weight, and even eating habits all play a role in when you get your period.\n\nMost women do not have a 28 cycle - some have a 21 day cycle and others have a 32 day cycle.  Every woman is different.\n\nSo relax - don't worry about the timing of your period being off.  Find an average of how many days it takes to get it after the day you expect it on is.  You'll feel better knowing your own cycle.

I have the same problem.  I'm 31 with 2 kids, and my periods have never been right since.  The cycle is shorter and the periods last longer.  Bummer.

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
