Answer 5

Honestly your normal! Im 14 and i was te first to start out of my friendship group and hated it! Your lucky not to have one babe! One of my  best friends hasnt started and shes the same age as you! So no need to worry! Its normal!

Answer 6

Noooooooooooo nothing wrong doll, dont worry they will come and you will wish they never had! lol

I was real early having mine (11) but my sister was 16, we are all different thats all xxxx

Answer 7

If you havn't started by the age of 16 maybe you should see your doctor. I started when i was only just 12. I would say your lucky.  

Answer 8

NO, not at all! don't worry, there are some people who even starts when they're 16, if you are really worried though, go and see a doctor.

Answer 9

no wait till 16

Answer 10

Don't worry, I was almost 16 when I started. It has a lot to do with body weight - most girls start when they hit around 7 stone apparently. Just enjoy the fact that your life is that little bit easier than the girls' around you! If you still haven't started in a year then go and see your doctor.

Edit: No, I don't think your mum's hysterectomy will have had anything to do with it - your body will just start when it's ready.

Answer 11

when you turn 16 then go and see our doctor. in a way your lucky because periods are smelly and messy. everyone starts at different times. my little sister started when she was 11 and i started when i was 12. its true when you live with another woman or girl for a long time your periods come round the same time. You send smells or signals to each others bodies telling your periods to start at the same time.  

Answer 12

Don't worry,its normal.

wait until your 16 and if you still don't have them then then go to your doctor and they'll give you a tablet to start them up!

Answer 13

Some people start later on, my friend at school was the same. i bet you you'll start soon. Try not to think about it too much. You'll be fine!  

Answer 14

Most girls start getting their menstrual periods about 2 and a half years after they first start developing b*****s. Most girls have their first menstrual period between the ages of 12 and 13, but some girls start as early as age 9 and others as late as 15 or 16.

There are several reasons why puberty may be delayed. Most often, it's simply a pattern of growth and development in a family. A guy or girl may find that his or her parent, uncle, aunt, brothers, sisters, or cousins developed later than usual, too. This is called constitutional delay (or being a late bloomer), and it usually doesn't require any kind of treatment. These teens will eventually develop normally, just later than most of their peers.

Medical problems also can cause delays in puberty. Some people with chronic illnesses like diabetes, cystic fibrosis, kidney disease, or even asthma may go through puberty at an older age because their illnesses can make it harder for their bodies to grow and develop. Proper treatment and better control of many of these conditions can help make delayed puberty less likely to occur.

A person who's malnourished — without enough food to eat or without the proper nutrients — may also develop later than peers who eat a healthy, balanced diet. For example, teens with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa often lose so much weight that their bodies can't develop properly. Girls who are extremely active in sports may be late developers because their level of exercise keeps them so lean. Girls' bodies require a certain amount of fat before they can go through puberty or get their periods.

Delayed puberty can also happen because of problems in the pituitary or thyroid glands. These glands produce hormones important for body growth and development.

Some people who don't go through puberty at the normal time have problems with their chromosomes (pronounced: kro-muh-soamz), which are made up of DNA that contain our body's construction plans. Problems with the chromosomes can interfere with normal growth processes.

Answer 15

No, just be thankful!

Answer 16

No, you're perfectly fine. Girls can start their period as late a sixteen years old, maybe even older. Wait until your sixteen, and if you still don't get it maybe go try talking to a doctor. You could always go see a doctor now if you want to confirm that everything's alright, but chances are there's nothing wrong, you're just going to start a bit later. Trust me, once you have it you'll be wishing you didn't, lol.

Answer 17

I dont think so.

i know some that didnt start until they were almost 18.

Everyones body is different.

Just give it time trust me its nothing to look forward to.

LMFAO

Answer 18

No of course there's nothing wrong with you. Some start later than others. I had a friend who was 11 when she got her first. I was about your age as well.

Answer 19

hey!

the average age for starting your periods is between 12 and 15 but many people start before that and many people start after. its nothing to worry about. no, it shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your mum had a hysterectomy. it is true that if you spend a lot of time with someone then your body may latch onto the other persons hormones and you may menstruate at the same time. but if you haven't started your periods and spend time round someone who has, you won't start unless you're ready to.

your body may just not be ready. give it a few more years and if you still haven't started and you're worried, then go and see your local doctor. i'm sure they will explain fully

:)

good luck

Answer 20

Probably not I was 9 but I know ppl that are like 18 and still haven't started!

So wait till about 16 then check it out! Be thankful tho! :)

Answer 21

God, you should be happy! I wish i was late i started at 13 and i hated it!

Answer 22

extremely late bloomer

Answer 23

Every body is different. Because you are petite, this is the most likely cause of your periods not starting. If you haven't had one by the time you are 17, then some tests need to be done. Until then, don't worry.

Answer 24

lucky you, i started when i was in year 6 and truly hated.

Answer 25

no youll be fine. i know its prob a bit embarrassing for you but think about it this way all your friends will have years more of pain and all the annoying things that go with a period than you will!
