What's The Youngest And Oldest Age Someone Can Start Their Period?

A peruvian girl got her period at the age of 3 and gave birth at the age of 5 years 7 months and 21 days via c-secion, and another woman didnt start getting her period untill the age of 25, but those were very abnormal cases and normally you should get your period between the ages of 9 and 15, otherwise your rather abnormal. O.o

Well by all these answers here it seems that every girl is different, and every girl is going to start sooner or later.obviously...if you have boobs, leg hair, pubic hair, underarm hair, and vaginal discharge, then your period shouldn't be far.

I am nearly 15 and still no sign. My sister started hers in year 9 and my mum never talks about so it makes me hard for me to ask. I am going into year 10 and I am worried all my friends have so I don't really know what to do. When should I go to the doctors?

Hey guys! I think I'd be in the abnormal category! I got my FIRST period when I was 19 years old!!
I'm 22 now and its still irregular and all over the place! :(  I got an ultrasound and testing done when I was 18 beacuse I was very concerned when it didnt come.
My mum got it when she was 18, so it was suggested to me by my docotor that is is genetic...
Might I add my mother and I are very small, lean girls. Body mass contributes to the time of your first menstrual cycle! :)

All my friends started around the age of 7-14 and I just turned 15 and still didnt have my period yet. But my mom didnt start till she was 16 so did my aunts on my dads side of the family. But I'm in a 32 B bra so I don't think boobs have anything to do with it.

I'm almost 16 and I haven't had mine yet. My mom started when she was 13. I'm worried.

Well I am 10 years old and I am starting to get mine like I have a cramp and some gooey stuff coming out of my you know what.Anyway I talked to my Mam and she said I am geting my periods.Is it natural to get your periods at 10 because I am a little bit worried

I'm 17 and still havent got mine

As early as 8 my daughter just started her's today

16 and don't have it . Normal is age 8-18 but average is 11-14

Well usually it all depends on the mothers history. Usually a girl will star around the same time as her mother. I have never heard of anyone getting it before 10 or after 18.

I'm kinda worried about getting mine in school. And I'm 12. Soooo I should be getting mine rather soon. Maybe summmer. Hopefully!

I am 32 and started getting regular periods a year ago.

My friend got hers in 4th grade

wierd but true

I got my period at 8 years old but one of my cousins got their period at 15 years old.

You can actually get one as early as 5!!! But thats a little "unusual" it usually happens 6 months to a year after your breasts start developing

I was 12 when I got mine but my sister as 10 and my mom was 9

Well I am 14 and a sophomore in highschool I am thee only sophomore at my school who hasn't started soo I feel alittle abnormal cause my mom got it at 11 and my sister did at 8

My cousin almost 18 and still haven't got hers

I'm 12 and havent gotten mine so I kinda feel left out.....but my mom got hers at 13

Don't worry I am 10 have every sign but still nothing I've been waiting and still nothing so don't feel left out!!:)

I don't really know....I'm 13 and everybody in my grade already had their period.....my mother got hers when she was 11

I am ten and still haven't gotten mine yet and I'm scared too! But I hear of a girl getting it at age three! Mite not be true though. I just recently learned what period was! And from a book!

It depends on the girl, some get theirs when they are very very young then a couple of years later stop permanently. This means you wont be able to have children. Which sucks.oldest age is like.. 15 or 16 and thats somewhat late. is it possible to not get your period at all?

I just got mine today at age 14.
Still getting used to it "/

I would say it may be some what different from each girl. But would say around 10 for the earliest and around 14 for some. My sister started hers later then I did. So this is my answer but it could be different for each girl still.

I'm 16 and a junior. I got mine on the first day of school at age 16. But I only got it once. I havent had one in 7 months lol..

I got mine at 6!

Well I am 30 and still did not get mine yet. Is there anyone older than me?

I'm 14 years old, and I still haven't got it, My mom got it when she was 12. My mom says that I'm a late bloomer because my dad was also a late bloomer. My dad didn't hit puberty until about 15. So it is possible to have your period according to when your dad hit puberty. (which is weird btw) I wear a 32 C So IDK what's gonna happen. I don't stress about it because it's great not having a period. Many young girls are excited to get theirs, but they don't know what is coming to them! I think the youngest is about 7 and the oldest to get a period is 15. Hope this helps ;)

My mum got hers at 18 and I got mine at 8 so it's not always genetic when I was 8 I was 5 foot 7

I got mine at 12 on xmas and almost 3 years later and I still hate it my friend who is 11 was 10 last year had a baby

I started mine when I was 11 and I still have them now that I'm 15
I wish that I didnt start them at all to be honest
but I know someone that is 19 who has not started her period yet

I am 14 almost 15 and still havent started. I would say check with your doctors when your around 15 or 16... The average of period startingedge is 12 to13....

I'm 14 nd I  haven't got mine yet but my mum got hers when she was 16 so should I worry or what? :S

I am 13 going into year 9 afta the summa nd I still haven't got my period or even developed boobs yet :'( only my best friends know, my mum thinks that I have started by period nd that I hve developed boobs :(    but realy I haven't :( I go round wid jus a bra on, I have a lil lump :( my mum started at lke 14 but she developed at lke 13 nd I haven't all :( I hope to develop nd start my period in the summa holidays :) hopefully it will all work out :L    :( don't know what to tell my mum :(

I believe that 8 is the youngest and 15 is oldest age to have it
