Does the age you started your periods have any bearing on when your dd does?

[DaffodilsAhoy]

I was very late starting mine (15yrs), I had norks from 12 ish but no periods- which of course I was desperate for .

Dd is quite small for her age (she is 10 now) - I just wonder if she will start sooner - I know that girls are generally starting younger now.

What's your experience?

My mum had hers at 15. I started my period at 13 and I was the 2nd last out of my group of 12 friends. I did develop a chest and have body hair at 10 though. I am an only child & my cousins are all boys so no clue here.

My family has stuck to the generation rule so far. I was 13, dsis was 13, mum was 13.

My dd1 hasn't started yet, but she is still only 12.5. She will probably be ready in another 6 months or so judging by other signs and hormonal moods.
