If I don't get my period, will I still be able to have kids?
Question Posted Sunday March 13 2011, 11:59 pm
Hi, I am 14 years of age and all my friends have had their period and even my younger sister, 12 years old has had her period. I LOVE kids and what to have some when I get married. If I don't get my period, will I still be able to have kids? What age does the chances of having your period stop?
If you are very athletic, say a gymnasts or track enthusiast, the exercise you put into these sports could be holding back your period. This is normal. This would also stunt your breast growth.
Just look at some female Olympic athletes. Look at the female before and after pictures. While they were in training they are almost flt chested and many if they have periods at all are very irregular. When they stop training their breast grow and their periods start or become very regular.
If you still have questions or are not a sports player. Then ask mom to make an appointment for you with her GYN. The doctor after examining you will be able to answer all your questions. You can even ask to see the doctor privately as at 14 years of age the law guarantees you medical privacy [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

She went to the doctor and they gave her medication and then she got it. Enjoy not having it. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
