I'm 13 and I haven't gotten my period yet.
All the girls in my calss have and I
feel "left out" my mom got hers really
early, like 10. I've also been noticing
alot of really sticky clear odorless
vaginal discharge. Does this mean
something's wrong with me? I'm scared and
I don't know what to do. Help plz.

Well first of all, don't feel left out
sweetie! Your lucky! Lol that discharge
is a sign of getting your menstral cycle
soon. Also not having your period at 13
is normal. Its even normal not to get it
until your 16 or 17, however if it is that
long, you should contact a doctor! Good
luck!

You should feel lucky! I got mine at
9...And that was embarrassing! You
probably are soon going to get it...The
discharge is a sign. Just remember there
is no such thing as "normal", your time
will come.

You look forward to it now - pretty soon
you will be wanting it to just go away.
For good. Never come back. Please.
Pretty pretty pretty please.

I didn't get mine until I was 13 and all
of my freinds had been having theirs. I
remember feeling left out. My cousin
didn't get hers until she was 16 and I
think the doctor ended up giving her
hormones so that she would start.
Everyone is different, so don't worry.

no period at 13 Posted: 06-11-08 08:55am
Thanks for your question and also for all
the answers to them. My daughter is going
through the same thing,that's why I'm
here. Although she never said she feels
left out because her friends have it I'm
sure she feels that way. I will have to
let her know it's OK, her time will come
and hopefully she won't need any hormone
therapy.

yeah, I was a junior, so all my friends
definitely had theirs. I felt a little
left out and immature, but looking back on
it, I'm glad.
The only downside was that when it did
decide to come, I was on vacation with a
friend and TOTALLY unprepared.

Im 12 years old and i have the same
problem as you!!!! except one day when i
wiped there was blood, and then it never
came back........ so i dont know what is
up with me either!!! but before i had that
i had white\clear\sticky discharge that
didnt smell for 8 months, so it depends on
how long you have had that discharge
for.......... if u want more help i

Doesn't have much to do with genetics
either...
My (younger!) Sis got it when she was 9,
which means way before me (!) &I got
it when I was like 13 or so... So it
doesn't have much to do with genetics. If
you're a bit skinny like I am, it makes
sense, sis was a bit on the 'chubby' side
& I read somewhere that weight may
make a bit of difference too... (But I
don't have to tell you Sis has always been
jealous of my bodyweight!!) & also, my
period was almost always much less painful
then hers... I only very occasionally got
pain or cramps or such... This may have a
bit to do with nutrition too, what kind of
food you eat etc.
Anyway, enjoy the time you have!!!
Uhm, just make sure you're not eg doing
the anorexia thing or such, this can
influence your period too (you lose it).
Vegetarianism can sometimes make it
irregular or make it go away too... so
make sure you are eating proper & get
enough nutrients etc. otherwise you might
consider supplements of protein,
vitamins/minerals...
