i am going into 7th grade this year! (I'm 12) the doctor said i will get my period in about 6 months-a year. Which is around the time my mom had hers,so i know its coming soon! i've have pubic hair, i started shaving my armpit hair about 6 months ago, i got breast buds also about 6 months ago,i got discharge in march, ive been tired 247 lately, and recently started getting slight headaches a lot. I haven't had pms or cramps yet. I've nervous im going to get it during school! As if school isn't stressful enough! I know my period might be far away but i'm nervous about swimming. I'm scared to wear tampons and i know my mom wouldn't let me wear them at first anyway. i'm afraid not wearing tampons will effect when my family goes on vacation and swimming and stuff is huge. Are there any signs to tell its like months away close? Is there anyway to not wear tampons and still go swimmming during your period? sorry this is long! Thank You!<3

 

Unfortunately I can't tell you a clever way to tell your period is coming months in advance, but don't be too worried about it. When it first comes it will most likely be extremely light and easy to handle. Start out with pads and you can move to tampons when you're ready. For swimming, try to convince your mom to let you use tampons. If she won't let you, come to an agreement on what you can do so that you can go swimming with your period. Don't be scared to wear tampons--they're super easy and you don't even feel them once you're used to them! It definitely sounds like you're getting closer to getting your period, but don't worry too much. When your period is just starting you'll definitely be able to tell and run to the bathroom. Talk to your mom about the whole situation and explain your worries, etc. She'll give you some awesome advice and be able to help you out a ton

I Don't have my first peiod yet either. But I've been having nausea, backaches, cramps, and headaches... why?

I'm almost 13 (this August) and I have had my period since October 2010. I was 11. I was supposed to get my period last Friday but it didn't come. I've been wearing a pad but I'm super worried. I know I'm not pregnant because I have had NO sexual contact with any guy at all. I only kissed a guy once (on a dare) and that was last year. So why isn't my period coming? I'm too afraid to tell my parents because I don't want them to worry. But I'm stressing out about it! HELP!

So I got my period, then had it agian, but then the next month, I didn't get it, and last month I didn't get it. Is this normal because I just started having it, or not? Thanks soooo much!

 

Yes this is normal, periods are often very irregular especially when you first start having it. Don't worry about it unless it stays very irregular. In this case, talk to a parent and maybe think about seeing a doctor, just to check up on everything!
