Why isn't my body changing with my period?

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**** (YES FIRST COMMENT!) Ok, so I try to talk about my period with my mom, but it is weird! Also, my little sister is always in my buisness, I really dont want her to know about me being close to my period! How do you start the topic??? P.S. I am 10 and do not have my period!

 

Hey girl! Try talking to your mom when you know your sis is not home or on the other side of the house. And def don;t be nervous, all moms went through the exact same thing as us!! <3 Mod Babes
