Am I a late bloomer?

I read that you usually get your period around the same time your mom did. If that's true, I should have my period by now…

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!
okay i was wondering if you could tell me when i MIGHT get my period..i am 12 almost 12and a half..i have had discharge for about 8months and i get headaches and backaches pretty often..also my mom got her when she was a freshmen ..my sis got hers in grade 6 and my grandma got hers when she was 9 soo help me out?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!




Hey Girl,

The good news is, you're right at the age when most girls get their period. The bad news is, there's no way to tell exactly when you're going to get it. The age when your mom got her period is a good indicator for when you may get yours, but as your sister's was earlier than your mom's, yours might be earlier, too. Discharge is a sure sign that your period is on its way, so it will probably be soon, but there's no way to be certain.

My doctor said I was going to get my period this year, I have a pouch with pads and everything I'm in middle school but what do I do if I have to put on/ change a pad during school discreetly? (P.S. I don't bring my backpack into the stall with me.) Thanks!




Hey chica,

Totally awkward - or so it seems. But actually, there are ways to do this without calling any attention to yourself! My favorite is the sweater/hoodie trick. If you're wearing a cardigan, take it off and carry it. Slip the pad inside the fabric, hidden from view. Then just head into the stall with your cardigan in your hand! Problem, solved Smile This also works with a hoodie or sweatshirt. If you're still wearing the sweatshirt and it has those big pockets/the pouch in front, slip the pad in there when you're at your locker.

MOD MOD MOD I'm 14 years old and I haven't gotten my period yet. I know that it often comes near to the time when your mom got it, and if thats true then I should have it around this time. I have had all of the discharge for about a year now and it seems like I have been having period symptoms every month since July. Is it possible that I have my period it just isn't showing up? Because I heard that if you do lots of exercise that sometimes it doesn't show up.

Thanks! SmileSmile

MOD MOD MOD I'm fifteen and I don't have my period yet. I have all the signs, but no period. Why?

 

Hey girly, it's not unheard of for girls to get their periods when they're 18, so don't worry too much. You should consult with your doctor to see if he/she can provide a better explanation.

I think I got my period! I went to the bathroom and there was this light brown wet stuff in my undies. It wasn't gloopy or gunky just... wet. Is this my period? How will my mom understand when it is just brown, and believe me when I say it's my period? It's like a really light brown. Did I just not wipe enough?




Hey girlie,

It definitely sounds like the beginning of your period. Normally on the first day of your period, it's lighter and brownish/pinkish before getting heavier and turning red. Keep an eye on it and see if it gets heavier. But don't worry - mom will understand because everyone's period is like this!

MOD MOD MOD My mom had a hormone problem and she got her period when she was 16. Will that mean I will get my period when I am 16? I am right on track to get mine... except I don't have discharge.

 

Hey girl, I think I've already answered your previous questions on this, but everyone gets their period at a different time. The discharge will come and then you'll have your period. You're perfectly fine chicky, no worries. Smile Smile
