A member asked:

How do i know when will my daughter get her period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: The average timing is about 2.5 years after the nipple buds out on one or both sides. This is commonly between 11-13 but varies.Girls often have some thin discharge in their panties for up to 6 months before th first period.
