DD first period

5 replies

DD 13 got her first period at the beginning of January and hasn't had another one since. It was a "proper" period, lasted about 5 days. Should I be concerned that she hasn't had another one yet? I don't have periods and when I did I was regular from the start so this is new to me.

Completely normal. My very nearly 14 yo has been having periods for 2 years and theyvete only just starting to get regular. Before this it was months sometimes between them and then sometimes just a couple of weeks.

My cycle was never regular ,could go for months without periods
It didn't appear to affect my fertility.

Very normal, my DD 12 had a period when she was 11 for around 3 days and hasn't had one since but regularly gets cramps, so I know its coming!
