A member asked:
Whats the oldest you should be when you got your first period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Around age 16: Most girls will have started their periods by age 16. If you have other signs of development (breast development, pubic and underarm hair) and are over 16, you should see your doctor for an evaluation.
