I read somewhere that you will start getting discharge one year before you have your period. well ive been getting whitish to clear discharge in my underwear for the past 3-4 years, and i still dont have my period. i have spotted twice before, about a year apart. the last time was last year. i have pubic hair (sorry i know this is all kinda gross, but these are all symptoms of getting your period soon) and my breasts are still developing, and i grew a lot taller. so why havent i gotten my period?
i am athletic to the extremes (i'm on a swim team), i'm 15, and my mom got hers at age 13. each year my doctor has predicted my period, but it never happens. she has never bothered to examen me down there.
should i be worried? i want to get my period eventually, like i wanna have kids in the future. i heard about this disease where you never get your period and cant give birth.
any advice, comments, or feedback in general would be very much appreciated!!!! thanks!!
I don't think you should be vair worried with it so much just yet. You should probably get examined somewhere (gyno, or just your doctor for check-ups). I can't tell you much to do, but the swimming may have something to do with it.
But i wouldn't just ignore it and never have it checked out just under the assumption that your athletic, so it's delayed. But it's a possiblity that you can't have kids, and you won't get your period.

idgurl572 answered Sunday January 7 2007, 1:04 am: the alhetic part may be why you haven't stared. Or you might have allready from the spotting. When you do lots of alhetic stuff is makes your period go haywire. So yeah don't worry and you still have 3 more years if you haven't statred but if it is hasn't really started after 18 then you need to be examined [ idgurl572's advice column | Ask idgurl572 A Question ]
xlickablex answered Sunday January 7 2007, 12:25 am: girls get their periods at all different times. However, you should go and talk to a gynocologist or something. Everything's probably all right. Everyone starts at different ages and all. [ xlickablex's advice column | Ask xlickablex A Question ]
