Question

What if I don't have my period past 16?

Community Answer

If you still haven't gotten your period and you are older than 15-16, you should go to a doctor. They will help you figure out why you have not started yet.

Question

I have had pubic hair and underarm hair for two years and I have had really sore breasts for about two months. I've also had discharge for about a month. When will I get my period?

Community Answer

No one can say for sure, but most girls get it about 6-18 months after discharge. It varies from person to person, though, and there is no way to predict it for sure.

Question

Why would I want to fake my period?

You may want to get out of a class. You may be pregnant and have to hide it. Some people are self-conscious about it.

Question

My mom had her period in eighth grade and I'm eleven. Is it a possibility that I could have mine now?

Community Answer

Yes, everyone is different. However, you shouldn't lie to your mom about when you start your period. This article is meant mainly to help people fake periods to get out of gym class and things like that. You should not fake periods with your mom before you've actually started getting periods, as this can affect the information she gives your doctor and her own understanding about where you are in your development, among other things.

Question

I'm 12, but my mom was 10 when she started hers. Should I be worried?

Community Answer

Not at all. While it's common for daughters to start at the same age their mother did, it does not always happen that way. It's totally normal to not have started your period yet at age 12.

Question

What should I do if I have the signs of my period, but it hasn't actually come?

Community Answer

It's very normal for your period to come on slowly with spotting and symptoms like cramps, fatigue, etc. Just get a kit ready or make sure you're otherwise prepared for when it actually starts.

Question

How can I fake the blood without Halloween blood?

Community Answer

Maybe you could use red nail polish, but make sure to let it dry. It should be dark red -- not bright red -- and should not have sparkles of any kind in it.

Question

I'm 11 and I'm getting stuff like acne and pubic hair and I'm scared that I'll get my period on my first day at my new school! What can I do?

Community Answer

Don't worry! The chances of you starting your period on your first day of school is pretty small, but if it does happen, it won't be that big of a deal. Just bring a pad with you in your backpack or purse to be prepared.

Question

What fruit is vitamin C? Also what does is mean if you've had hair around the pubic parts for a year and still hadn't got your period?

Community Answer

A particular fruit isn't vitamin C. Vitamin C is in fruits like bananas,watermelon,passionfruit and grapes as well as many more fruits,vegetables and citrus' Vitamin C can be bought from drug stores (chemists) and come in different forms like tablets and liquid. It doesn't mean anything if you have had hair on the pubic region for a year and still haven't had your period. It is completely normal. Look for discharge, which can be white or yellowish. Usually after you get discharge and hair it is around 6 months to 2 and a half years before you get your period. Before you get your period, you will grow breasts and get body odour and hair under your arms.

Question

I've been having vaginal discharge since I turned 11, but my mom started her period at 13. How can this be?

Gina4573

Community Answer

Vaginal discharge and menstruation are two different things. Vaginal discharge is common for girls who haven't started their period yet. This is a sign that you may start your period in 1-2 years.

Question

I'm 9 and I have been having spotting and cramps, but I've never gotten a period. What is going on?

Community Answer

This is something you should tell your mom and dad. Some cramping and light bleeding before your first period isn't unusual, but if it's been going on for more than a week or two, you should probably see a doctor just to make sure everything is okay.

Question

Should I put the food dye in my underwear or on a pad?

In your underwear if you haven't had your period yet; it wouldn't make sense for you to have a pad on. If you've already gotten your first period, you can do either.

Question

What if I've had boobs, discharge, pubic hair, and underarm hair for almost a year, but no sign of a first period?

Community Answer

That's not abnormal. Everyone matures at a different rate. You will likely get your period soon, but there's no way to say for sure exactly when it will be. Just keep the necessary supplies (pads or tampons) with you so that you're ready whenever it happens.

Question

When will I get my period?

Community Answer

It is different for everyone, generally anywhere between age 8-16. Don't be afraid to ask your mom when she got hers, you will probably be around the same age. If you have discharge, underarm and pubic hair, and sore breasts, it will probably be very soon.

I am 12, I have breast buds, discharge, and pubic hair. When will I get mine? (My mom was 13.)

It's different for everyone. You might have discharge anywhere from 6 months to two years before starting your period. It's pretty common for girls to start at the same age their moms were, but it's not always the case.

I'm 11 years old but my breasts are developing, I have pubic and armpit hair, and body odor. Is this a sign I will soon begin menstruating?
