Is it normal that I still haven’t started my period yet I just turned 13?

[Ashely466]

Or should I be concerned

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

You're normal, you just turned age 13 I wouldn't worry, I have family members like cousins who didn't get theirs regular, It wasn't anything major, the one went to see a doctor to get help then things are better. If you don't have a menstrual cycle by age 16 you need to see a doctor and find out what is wrong. Also, it depends if your small built that could be another reason also do you have older sisters who started later, did you have a Mom, Grandma started later then usual you want to ask them to see what they have to say? Best Wishes 🙏

Absolutely no problems. Im no expert about girls puberty but they used to talk about it a lot , whereas in girls its not always just a little hair and nasty thoughts, its evidently ok. But no, 13 is usually comeing right into it. But when you turn 14 and still waiting its still ok. Everyones different

[sarah198]

When you are in puberty, your body will go through many changes. One of the biggest changes you will experience is menstruatition. Most girls get their first period somewhere between the ages of 11 and 14, but it could happen at any time between the ages of 8 and 16. So yeah, it's completely normal. If your friends get their first period at the age of 11, it doesn't have to be the same with you. We are all different. But if you want you can always go and talk to gynecologist.

There's no need to worry at all.. I've got my first period when I was almost 17 and everything was fine..
Enjoy not having it yet 😊

[Ashely466]

Really? My friends had it at 11

[SmallSaint]

seriously?

[Ashely466]

@SmallSaint yess

[itsmyownname]

You're not you friend. Some girls get it with 9 some with 19 it's totally normal, trust me.. you can visit a doctor when you're still worried in a few years but they'll tell you the same..

[SmallSaint]

@itsmyownname seriously you have your first period at 17? knowing it for first time that a girl have periods at 17

[itsmyownname]

Because you're a guy.. you don't know shit about this.. I was 16 but yes.. I know a few girls who got it at that age. It's not very common but totally fine.. I'm glad I've got it that late

[SmallSaint]

@itsmyownname wow. you taught me this thing. lol

[SmallSaint]

@itsmyownname thanks

[MarkyMark77]

@ashely466 have u started having sex yet?

[SmallSaint]

@MarkyMark77 are you mad? she is just 13. shame on you

[Madhatter920]

It's normal. If it still hasn't happened in a year, talk to your doctor.

[Ashely466]

I’m worried

[Madhatter920]

Nothing to be worried about. You'd still be in the normal range.

[Ashely466]

Not sure all my friends have it except me

[Madhatter920]

Yes, the average age for starting your period is 12, but it's still considered normal and healthy to take as long as 16.

www.nhs.uk/.../

[Ashely466]

Well some even start at 9

[Madhatter920]

Some do, yes. So you see there's a wide range. Nothing to be worried about.

[bigpappaforu]

No its normal ur at that age now ur body is going to start changing, ur breast will get bigger and u will probably get curious about ur body and maybe start to touch urself but it's all normal, no worries but be careful if u have sex because you can also get pregnant now

[chriscdi]

i think it all depends on when you hit puberty i think, some people hit early, some late

[samuel665]

Nature will solve your problems not people.

[Lottifan]

Don’t worry about it. You’re probably just a late developer. Not all girls get their periods early. Wait another year or two and see what happens.

[Ashely466]

I guess so

[Lottifan]

Some girls start about 8 or 9 whereas others can start about 15 or 16. Try not to worry. You’ll be fine.

[morganlove]

If you're very active, it's normal. If you're a couch potato, see a Dr.

[HeadCase1]

Don't worry about it. Girls bodies grow at different rates. Just keep an eye on your self and if you really think you have a problem talk to your mother. She's been through the same process. If she thinks you have a problem she can take you to the doctor.

[GreenGold1992]

You're just a late bloomer

Hell, Carrie White didn't get her first period til she was at age 16

[BoxySama]

Nah, you are a late bloomer, worried about it in a year or so if it hadn't happened

[Ashely466]

I’m worried my friends has there already

[Ashely466]

Had ***

[BoxySama]

yeah a lot of girls have it kick in when they're about 12 or so, you are just a late bloomer, I wouldn't be worried for another year or two

[MarkyMark77]

@ashely466 have u started having sex with anyone?

[nawtee_me]

Not to worry, right now you are wanting it to happen. However once it does, you will be wanting it to stop...

[SmallSaint]

some girls have their periods late.
and it Okay.
but if you won't have periods until 15, then its a problem.

[Ashely466]

My friend had her at 11

[itsmyownname]

It's not 🤦🏻‍♀️

[SmallSaint]

I said some girls have periods late.

[SmallSaint]

@itsmyownname what not?

[itsmyownname]

It won't be a problem when she's 15..

[SmallSaint]

@itsmyownname I always hear that if a girl haven't her periods until 15, then its problem.

[OddBeMe]

Going to the gyno should always be an easy solution. Do you have access to one?

[andy530]

Yeah this is normal. Have you started puberty yet?

[howleyz]

You will probably be annoyed a little bit by it, maybe it is better You still don't have it

[msc545]

I think this is a question you should be asking your doctor or your gynecologist.

[Deku2009]

You got another couple of years so don’t stress out

[Deku2009]

There are girls that don’t start those until they are 15

[Nachowedgie]

My first girlfriend didn't get her period until after she'd turned 15, don't worry about it.

[Nitinsoni]

Its normal... dear... you will geat reason too party hard soon...

[Anonymous]

13 is late nowadays, but not yet a reason to worry. If however you have the healthcare costs covered, why don't you see a doctor just in case?

[Anonymous]

Its normal, dont worry
You may have it in one or two years :)
