A member asked:

Hi my daughter has not gotten her menstrual period yet. she is 14 and will be 15 in october, 2018. she is small but not abnormally so, and runs on track and cross country. i am concerned. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See pediatrician: Some girls do not get their period until they are 15. We don't usually worry until they are 16 and have not yet gotten their period. However - you mention that she runs a lot. If she is underweight or has a very low body fat percentage, this may be the cause of her not having her period yet. I would see her pediatrician to further discuss this.
