A member asked:
Can identical twins have their menarche come at different times?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Menarche: Yes. Just because they're identical genetically does not mean they'll do everything the same. Other factors contribute to puberty-timing, like weight gain. A bone-age x-ray can predict pubertal delay.
