I think you're fine, dear.  A girl can get her menses anytime between the ages of eight and eighteen.\n\nBut you could check with your doctor, maybe s/he would like to run a couple of tests just in case.

perfectly normal. you may start your period in a few days to a week or just finished. its normal.

you should check with your doctor, but i would think so, since you can get pregnant before you start your period, i think also that it would be unlikely given the chemicals in your body.

When I was 12, one by one, my friends got theirs, so I was kinda anticipating mine. By the time I got mine (it was a light brownish stain at first), I couldn't believe it. Then later that night came the red blood, I actually cried and got my mom worried to death, knocking on the bathroom door asking me of things were ok. I know, what a wimp. Looking back, I can laugh at myself now. But seriously, there's nothing to be worried about. Don't be scared, it's just blood. It shouldn't hurt either, may be some cramps at most. So take it from me, the girl who cried when she got it the first time - it's natural   :)

Sounds as though you might have your period – congratulations! \n\nYou might want to talk to your mother or another adult they should be able to help you out – although it is important you learn all you can about your body yourself. An adult should also be able to help you celebrate your first period, like a shopping trip, nice meal, sleep over, or whatever you might be into. \n\nThe most important thing you will ever learn about your periods;\n\nPeriods are only as a good or as bad as you make them!\n\nThe more you know the better they are, for example those pains aren't a necessary part of having periods. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent them, but for the time being I highly recommend drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea and rubbing a little Clary Sage on your belly. It's nothing to be worried about, we all get our periods sooner or later and there is nothing to fear, it's a good thing once you know all about it, promise.

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.

Hey hey, don't worry, most every girl has this fear when they first use tampons. Most of them will say that it isn't that bad after they've tried it. Not all tampons are big, but you have to get the right size for your period. If you are have a heavy flow you'll have to use bigger ones, but if you are light you'll need smaller ones. I suggest you talk to your mom about this too, eventhough you might be uncomfortable asking. Even if you end up needing bigger tampons, they don't hurt like you'd think they would. It'll just take some getting used to. As for TSS, it's a very rare sickness, and you usually only get it when you leave a tampon in for a really long time, like 7 hrs. or more. But you shouldn't worry, because you usually need to change before that amount of time. Even if for some reason you do leave it in a long time, you probably be okay, you just have to make sure you take it out right away after you realize it. I'm pretty sure you'll be okay, it's always scary at first, but it's so much better than using pads all the time. lol

There is nothing wrong with u. Most of my friends started around that age but i didnt till i was 13. I promise u ITS NOTHING fun...and when u do finally get it, u'll wish u had'nt. All the mood swings, cramps, cravings, AND pads/tampons really suck...im sure ur friend (as well as u, when u get it) will learn 2 hate it very soon! \n\n**however...if u reach ur teenage years and u STILL dont have it, go to the doctor...but as for now...dont worry about it and enjoy period-free life while u got it!

I didnt get my first period til I was 17. My second period came 6 months later! It continued to be really irregular for a year. If you are under 18, don't stress about it.

Hello:\n\nWell, first of all if you are a Male:\n1) Do you have pubic hair?\n2) Do you have acne?\n3) Are you starting to "grow faster"?\n4) Is your voice changing?\n   You answer 2 or more question "yes": YOU ARE IN PUBERTY, thats a great time of your life. You can have and "orgasm" and "cuum" in this age, many times, beacuse we whant to have that experice, the "psicological" pressure to have it "cancels" the entire idea. REALX AND ENJOY... READ A LOT (not play boy magazine, real sites that can give you information), and ask a lot!\n\nIF you are a female:\n1) Are you starting to have pubic hair?\n2) Your breast are starting to grow?\n3) Have you seen changes in the form of your body?\n4) Are you menstruating?\n\nIf you answer yes teh majority, the "womens" body is a little more complecated that "mens". The sexual drive (the feelings of warmth in your private parts and other things) is realy important. Get to know your body, don´t be afraid, explore and learn about it.\n\n        IF... You don´t have "growing" problems, or more question, don´t be afraid to asked them to your doctor, he will have the right answers.

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!

If you`re 16 and you haven`t had a period yet, then you should consult your doctor.  They can start it for you.\n\nBut if you`re just not having it, then you should wait.  Irregular periods are normal.  Once mine skipped six months and i`m still alive and not pregnant, so . . . it`s aiight.  My doctor told me i was just stressed.

Dont worry it's just your period starting. It's not always red at first but give it a few hours and it will be. Good luck.

Being paranoid, but if this stresses you out so much, maybe use a condom and get on birth control. \n\nI think you'll be OKAY this time. (if all the information given is factual)
