At what age do women start their period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
On average: It varies with race, but around age 12 is a fair average for girls. With some specific exclusions age 8 (some say 10) up to age 17 (you can debate this too) is mostly regarded to be the range of normal. There is no completely correct short answer to your question.
