[fakeblonde]

DD1 is 15,has a bust now and weighs a healthy 8 stone and a bit.
No sign what so ever of periods.
Should i be worried ?
I think i am as i think i was about 13.

i was 12, but my best friend was 18!
i don't think you should worry too much, but if you are worried, why not have a chat to a doctor about it? i remember my friend was worried at the time, but was told it was normal, and that some people are just later developers.

I was 13, good friend was nearly 17, she has 4 very healthy children, no known reason for slightly late start.

Gosh thats made me far less porried.Thanks for your reply.

I was 10 9 way too early) my sister, however was over 16, I don't think there is any need to worry just yet

nearly 15

when we were at the doc about something else we talked abut it and he said no need to worry just yet

Ok thanks everyone.
I`ll just forget about it for a while now.Cheers

I was 12, one best friend was 10 (), other best friend was 16! No rhyme or reason as far as I can tell. Don't worry!

I think it is hard on them as it gets later though. Keep telling her what a pain (literally) it is, and though it is a sign of womanhood, it's one noone enjoys!

I was 15.

Well, I was 9.11 . Which goes to show that there is a pretty big range.

11

Almost 16

13

14, Valentines Day ..

13

14 and a half, had about 3 in a year, then 18 months of anorexia-induced amenorrhea. (And a 'bust' in any meaningful sense has not developed to this day). I think there is only need to worry (or investigate) from 18ish. Did you start 'late'?

I was 8

Nearly 15 - I was a very late starter whereas all my friends started when they were 12.
