YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

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!

Hey girl! As long as you're comfy with how you look, you're fine! No need to worry! Just take care of your body and eat right.

MOD MOD MOD I am 105 pounds, thirteen and a half, and five foot seven. Because I am skinny, will I get my period later?

 

Hey girly, everyone gets their period at a different time, and it sounds like you're thin, but not dangerously thin. So, it's tough to say when you could get it. Much of it is in genetics. And I don't think your size will affect it Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!! ok well ive been having really bad stomach pains 4 like 3 days and when i go to the bathroom i see a discharge ( like alot ) my mom was 13 when she got her period but im only 11?? could my period be on the way?? ohh and someone told me ur period could only come 2 days after you've hade cramps!! is that true??

 

Hey girly! There's no set time as for when your period can come. So, it definately might be on its way! To be on the safe side, carry some pads in your backpack, or purse, just in case it happens at school or something Smile
