Can there be any way for me to start my first period soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Menarche usually occurs between ages 11 & 13 in the us. However for some their period could start as early as age 9 & for others not until 16. Your body can not start menstruating until it is physically ready. If you haven't started menstruating by age 15 years old, let your physician know.
