Do you have a daughter? How old is she when she have her first menstruation?

i have three daugthers and they all have their menstrationa already. the youngest is 12 years old and she had hers last january around third week. there are more girls who gets their menstration as early as 8 or nine years old. when my youngest had hers that was the time i felt that i have no baby anymore. it was time to treat them differently and to treat them like teens. they have their chores around the house and they helped me a lot.

Hi there! I know this must be a late response to your discussion and I hope your daughter had adjusted already to dealing the stage of puberty, accordingly there are hormonal changes that affect moods of teens during the stage. Luckilly my daughter got her first period when she was 13 and she didn't have difficult time dealing with it, thanks God! I wish you and your family well! Happy posting!

I don't have any children. I was in 5th grade and ten years old though when I first started my menstruation. So, I was very young and it was very uncomfortable for me to start when I as that young, but hopefully that means I will stop menstruating sooner.

No, I dont have any kids-I'm 18, but I am a girl myself and I had my first when I was 12 or 13. And that doesnt automatically make a girl turn into a woman. She is still your little girl.

Yes, I have three daughters. Their first menstruation vary depending on their physical development. One started her first menstruation when she was 11 yrs. old. The other two started their first menstruation when they were 10 yrs. old. They really had a hard time dealing with during those times, but now they are already improving.

HI, My daughter started her menstruation when she turned 9. It was not long after her 9th birthday. She was going into 4th grade. I felt bad for her because she was soo young. But now she is in High School and dealing with it quite fine..:o). I had a 15 year break from having mine because i was on the depo shot for 15 years. I got my tubes tied last year and stopped the shot. My period restarted, after 15 years of not having it, on aug.18..2008 and i'm ready for menopause...LOL. Is there a comfortable sanitary pad out there anywhere...LOL...Have a good day everyone...:o)

Sadly, I don't have a daughter. I have 3 boys. But I do have a step-daughter, I was the one who took care of her since she was 5 years old. She's in college already. And I do remember she was in her freshman year in high school when she had her first menstruation. I taught her everything like how to put napkins, when to change, how to not get stained, etc. I do always remind her what to do. Well, I guess, time passes so quickly. HUGZ robert.

Hi robert19ph, I know it must be hard for you to see your little grow up like that, in the long run it is good to start young, I started mine when I was 13, your daughter is doing well, its one of the things we women have to go through in life. Tamara

I also have a daughter.She's on her teens now.Like me she ahd her first menstrauation when she was 9 years old.She is my one and only child.I cried when i first knew it.I felt that she was too young to have it.She didn't even know how to wash her clothes.And like you feel i also don't want her to turn into a lady because i know what would be the next stage.I am scared someone would take my baby away from me.It hurts me to think that one day she would move and get married but i try to prepare myself and accept everything that we all go there.We always want our children to become successful and happy.Thats what i am praying for her.
