A member asked:

My daugher is 12 and haven't had a period yet. should i be concerned?

Do not worry: No you should not. Age of the periods onset varies from 9-15 yo, so you still have some time.

No: In a 12 yr old I would expect breast (nipple) enlargement. If so she is likely progressing fine.Lack of menses by age 15 would warrant an evaluation for pubertal delay.
