When will I get my first period?


Question:
I really want to know because it still hasn't come and my mom said I should already have had it based on when she had hers. I have most of the signs, but I'm 12 and 1/2 and still waiting. All my other friends have already had theirs, and I'm gettinga bit impatient. How can I tell when my period will come ahead of time?

Answers:
slow down once u get it u dont want it anymore every1 can get it at diffrent times i got mine at 12 and 1 of my friends got it at 10 then my other 1 got it at 17.its diffrent 4 diffrent people.
That depends on each individual person, i was 11 and my girlfriend didn't get hers until she was 17!
haha.
Slow down.
Because once you do get it.
Youll wish for menopause.
You can get it as late as 16.
so chill
honey im 15 and still waiting for mine...it takes time
My sister didn't get hers until she was sixteen and shes totally normal. All girls develop at a different rates. Periods are a pain in the butt anyway- try to enjoy the fact that you don't have to worry about it now, it'll come soon enough.
I was 11, but be sooo thankful that you havent had yours yet! Not fun 1 bit. I was kinda early but most of my friends were 12-13. Don't anticipate it cuz once you get it your gonna hate it. I get moody before my periods, dangerously moody. I also get tired. But drink lots of water because I'm guessing you'll be comin round soon. Goodluck!
most people i know got theirs somewhere around 7th, 8th grade. some signs that it may start soon: cramps, a brownish color on your underwear.
but be happy you don't have it, it sucks! trust me: it's a bloody nuisance (no pun intended)! there's no need to worry, all girls get it at different times. one of my friends didn't get it until she was 16!
have fun while you still don't have it! ;D
lmao that was funny fallon! i agree with her. these periods are very excruciating and annoying!
YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PERIOD! It is like hell. I got mine probably a year and a half ago. It's not fun at all. If I were you, I would be grateful! But, menstrual cycles can be genetic. Maybe your grandmother started later, so you will too. Don't worry, it will come.
When your body and hormones are ready, won't be exactly when your mom's was. The usual age is 12 or 13 but can be yrs later. Check under menstruation in yahoo search, it explains it all.
Don't rush it. It'll come when you're body's ready and like others have said, you'll wish it stayed away longer once you have it.
no matter what anyone else says, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU! Your body is probably developing at a slower pace because you have low body fat and its no big deal. When i talk to my doctor, she said if your 16 and still havent gotten it, they will put you on the birth control pill to help stimulate your body. ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. If i were you id carry around a small pad in a purse just incase.
