Why isn't my body changing with my period?

 

Check these out, too...

  • Do guys only care about chest size?
I started my period months ago but haven’t seen any physical changes. Is this normal?

What’s normal? The five stages of puberty go like this:

1) Around age 8 to 11, hormones whir inside the body with no visible physical changes.
 
2) From 8 to 14, height and weight increase, breast buds form, and maybe pubic hair shows.
 
3) At 9 to 15, breasts continue to grow as pubic hair darkens, and menstruation may begin.
 
4) From 10 to 16, more pubic hair comes in, and periods become more regular.
 
5) At 12 to 19, full height is established as breast and pubic-hair growth end.

See the overlap in age ranges? Even if your bod doesn’t show it, healthy hormones are at work. Your period is proof!

Mod! I was wondering If there is a natural way way to induce your period. I'm not going to, but I was wondering

 

Nope, not that I've heard of anyway!  It will just come when your bod is ready.  Smile

MOD!MOD!MOD! What are buds????? xoxoxoFLIPPY678

 

Hey girl, It's kinda hard to explain, but breast buds are basically small lumps on your chest that are the first signs of breast growth.

Hey girl, yes, periods monthly. That's why they're called monthlies.
