I started my period when i was 11 im 17 now so i understand how you are feeling!! \nDon't worry you will probably get some form of a tummy pain that feels a bit like cramp and then when you go to the toilet you may start your period.\nIt will be a darkish red maybe even brown coloured but a light red is still alright. Dont be afraid of it when you do start it means your body is healthy and working alright.\nPlease do try and talk to your mum or a person you feel you can trust.\nHope everything turns out alright!!

Once your period has already started, there is no surefire way to stop it or shorten it.  Only hormonal control (e.g. birth control pills, etc.) can really help you control your period.\n\nHowever, you're just bleeding out what is already in there--try hot baths and, if you are sexually active, try having sex.  Having sex and orgasming causes your uterus to contract, which will push out the blood faster.\n\nIf your period is usually more than 5-6 days, you probably won't be able to stop it so quickly with only one day to work with.  All I could recommend in that case are good tampons--I prefer OB brand for my excessively heavy flow (still trying to figure out what MY problem is!).\n\nGood luck!

You should muster up the strength to take a pregnancy test.   And yes, you should see a doctor.  Even if you're not pregnant, there has to be a reason that you're not having a period.\n\nGood luck to you and I hope you've got a little bean.

Try to eat right and do cardio exercising, preferably before your cycle (for obvious reasons). This will cut down on cramps.

Don't worry. Every one is scared the first time they get there period. It is a natural part of growing up. Talk with your mother. She can comfort you and make you feel better. Once you get used to your period it won't be a big deal.

Is it possible that you are pregnant??  Let's rule that out first.  Are you seriously underweight?  If you do not have enough body fat, you will not menstruate.  Are you into sports or extremely athletic?  That also deals with body fat composition, but it is a healthy reason to not have the body fat.  Also, how stressed are you?  That could keep it from coming too.\n\nListen, you are 18.  You are an adult.  You have a responsibility to take care of yourself.  I'm sorry that your parents aren't there for you, and I know it's scary, but you have to do this.  If I were your sister, I'd go with you.  Talk to your school nurse for some direction of what to do- where to go.  Go get yourself checked out.  It could be something serious, and you don't want it to get worse because you didn't go to the OB when you could have.

There's nothing wrong with you. Be glad you haven't got your period yet. Growing up is not fun at all, you get grouchier and things get more complicated. So enjoy this time while you have it a little longer and don't stress over it. You are normal and get to be free a lil longer!

Get your doctor to check you and then he'll probably give you birth control. It helps your periods be regular. Don't worry. It isn't unusual. Lots of girls get this.

Consult your doctor or other health professional. Ask here and you're risking getting "advice" from a thirteen year old kid.

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.

You should be OK but if you are really worried the doctor will help you, if you're like me and don't want to ask your doctor go to family planning and ask to see a nurse.\n\nMy periods only became regular when I hit 40 - go figure that one out.
