My 12th birthday, not the greatest of presents, and I had a 28 day cycle from the start so I had a period on every birthday from then on until I had my babies.

I got DD boobs at 11, but no periods until 15.5.
Sister was the same

My girls unfortunately have all started before 12 years old

Wouldn't worry too much, it will happen and she'll hate it just like the rest of us lol

I was nearly 13 (and not very happy about it arriving!). Doesn't body fat/weight %/ratio have something to do with it?
