A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you start puberty (breasts, pubic hair, armpit/ leg hair etc) will you start your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sequence of events: The average first menses occurs about 2.5 years after the first breast bud. Girls will often see a little staining of their undies with mucous discharge a few months before the 1st event.
