There isn't a set age at all.  My best friend had her period when she was 7 years old but my mom had to have medication to start hers at the age of 16.  It is definitely alright to not have started when you are 13 years old.  I know that when I turned 13 I still didn't have mine...it's totally fine, trust me.\n\n:)

It has nothing to do with your period. I assume you are still young. At your age your period will not be completely regular yet. For a lot of woman their period will never be completely regular. Don't worry about it.

not all of us girls are the same its usually day 13-14 from the first day of your last period and for 3-4 days that's the norm, but as i said not everyone is the same, you can get pregnant at any time of the month but those few days are the most likely

Some girls have irregular ovulation -- that's what causes your period. Most women are regular, ovulate on schedule and only stop when they become pregnant, if there is a medical condition or they hit menopause. But there is a small percentage of women who do not ovulate regularily. In an extreme case - and this is a friend of mine - ovulation only occurs once a year! She had a great deal of difficulty timing things so she could get pregnant, and she and her husband only managed it once. So the answer to your question is yes, some girls just don't get their periods.

All women's bodies are different. I got mine when I was 11 and some of my friends didn't until they were 15 or 16. Some of it is hereditary and some of it is just good old mother nature. Your body will start when it's ready. \nAs far as getting info on menstruation...there is alot of good info. on the internet...try WebMD.com or aske your mom to take you to see a gynecologist or family doctor and ask all the questions you want.

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.

How old are you? I started having my period at 13 and it isn't too bad. I have a disease called PCOS and it makes your periods extremely irregular sometimes. It is important to start having pap smears done yearly as soon as you get your period to help detect problems and diseases. Periods are sometimes painful but usually only the first day or so. Everyone is different when it comes to periods but most have easy ones I think. You will bleed for 3-5 days average. Remember everyone is different and so everyone will have different feelings about it. Just be sure to keep pads or tampons with you to avoid embarrassing moments when you start unexpecedly. I promise it isn't that bad.

i have friends who are 19 or 20 who also had that problem some didnt even have it stop at all.  Their doctors put them on birth control as your period comes only once a month so that you can live a normal life.

First of all, don't be embarrased to ask any of these questions. Any trusted adult female, (mother, sister, mother of friend, teacher school nurse etc) will be more then willing to help you and answer your questions. \n\nGenerally you will get your first period between 11 and 14 years old, (but there are some who get it earlier and some later).\n\nIf it happens at school, go to the nurses office, she will definitely help you. If you are in class ask the teacher if you can use the restroom or go to the nurses office, and if they ask why discreetly tell them "I started my period". They have all heard it a million times before and there is nothing to be embarrased about.  It is a very normal part of growing up.\n\nTo be prepared for the first time, have your mom or big sister buy you some pads, or panty liners.  Keep a few in your locker or backpack so you will be ready if it does happen at school. \n\nIt is hard to tell you how heavy or light your flow will be as everyone is different, as with how long it will last, but generally a period lasts about 4-5 days, with maybe a light day or two followed by heavier flow then tapering off to nothing.\n\nPlease do not be embarrased, like I said it is a very normal part of growing up.\n\nPlease visit this website...it has some great info

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.

The average (normal) menstrual cycle is 28 days.\n\n\nPs. I am absolutely sure of this. I am secondary school science teacher and I double checked at home in my Medicine dictionary.

On average, periods last 4 to 6 days. It really depends on the person. Some have really short ones like 2 days and others really long ones like 7 or even 8. If it last for a longer period of time, ask your doctor about it.

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.

Every girl is different.  I got my period at the age of 11 while my best friend didn't get hers until she was 15.  We were both perfectly fine and healthy, I just developed faster.  Part of it has to do with genetics.  Her mother and grandmother both got their first periods at a later age, while my mother got hers when she was younger.  Factors such as malnutrition and physical or emotional stress can delay the onset.  As long as you are healthy, though, there shouldn't be a problem.  I would say that if it hasn't come by the time you're 15 you may want to ask a doctor to make sure everything is fine.
