Why isn't my body changing with my period?

Check these out, too...

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 MOD MOD I made a really big mistake last month, i shaved my pubic hairs and then they grew back thicker and they stick through my underwear and its really itchy!!!!What do i do????

Hey chica! They only seem thicker and darker because they're a lot shorter right now than they were before. So, you can either continue shaving, like many girls do, or you can just let it grow back more so that it's not itchy. It's totally your preference.

i am 8 and i alway feel like i am having my period. is that normal? MOD MOD MOD MOD

It's normal to anticipate having your period or be worried that it's going to come soon, but try to relax. We can't predict when periods will come - it could be anywhere from 10-16!

I read a comment on here and it said that some girls get really hungry when they're on their period. I havent started my period but Im SOOO hungry almost ALL the time!!! Ive also found this white stuff in the panties, but the weird thing is: Im not getting cramps. Am I going get my period soon?

hey girl! You might.
