Do daughters start their periods at similar age as parents?

[Lottie4]

If your daughter has started her periods, was it a similar age to you? I started the same age as my Mum and was speaking to some friends recently who said they all started within a year of their Mum.

I started a year earlier than my mum did and my dis showing signs of starting soon and more than a year younger than I was (she's only 10 :( )

Dd is not di

I started at 12 and my dd started at 11

DD1 did.
DD2 didn't.
DD3 is about the same age but nothing yet.

Don't have a DD, but my DM was 18 and I was 13, so a big difference.
My DM, however, was born in 1930 and I'm pretty sure puberty has accelerated since then with better diet.

I started mine when I was nearly 11. My sisters started at 13 which is the same as my mum. I think I follow after my dad, who was shaving daily at 14.

Don't have a dd - but my mum was 9 and I was 14 and a half, so big difference.

Mum was 13

I was 13

DD1 was 13

DD2 is 12 atm but the chances are she will be 13 when her periods start

pretty much the same in our family... all 13 so far.

My mum (also born in the 30s) started age 9 which I found pretty when she told me.

I was 13.

DD is currently 12. I am not sure what signs to look out for, but I wouldn't say she was on the cusp of it yet though she has started boobs.

My mum started at 16, I was 10! X

My mum was coming up to 10 and I was 12.

one yes,one years earlier

My mother was 18 when she started. I was 14 almost 15 really. So late in comparison to peers but not as late as mother

I was 11

DD1 was 13

DD2 is 14 and absolutely no sign yet

it could be linked to higher meat diets

I started on my first day at high school - what shit timing! My periods have continued in the same vein, arriving at every inappropriate moment ever since!

So, I was 12.2 and DD started when she was 12.4 so pretty much exactly the same age.

For those watching for signs - DD had very little in the boobage department before starting, and still doesn't have much 6 months later. I'm very small busted though so I guess she takes after me. She did have a major increase in discharge though for around 3 or 4 months leading up to them starting (I only noticed this when washing her clothes - I didn't go looking for it).

I have no idea how old my mother was but my sister was also 12 when she started.

I was 13, my sis was 13 and mum was...wait for it....13.

I have no daughters.

I was 14

Dd1 was 15
Dd2 was 14

no, not in our case, I was 14, dd much younger, no idea about my mum

I was 12.1

My Mum was 15

dd1 14.3
dd2 hasnt started and is now older than I was when I started.

I was 8.
Dd1 -12
Dd2- 11 and no sign

I think periods come once a full bush has appeared. Well that has been how things happened for us.

My mum was 17. I was 17 too.

I was 11 as was dd1. DD2 is now 9 and I think I need to have the talk with her so it doesn't come as a hideous surprise. Although, with the level of openness in our house she probably already knows the basics.
