Period Fact #5 – When will my daughter get her first period?

The fifth question in our series on period facts is ‘When you daughter get her first period?’.  It may be frustrating for your daughter to know that no one can tell exactly when a girl will have her first period.  During puberty a girl’s body will go through some typical stages of development but each girl is unique and the changes will happen at different times.  Usually a period will come about 2 to 2 1/2 years after breasts first start growing.  An indicator may also be when other female relatives started their periods.
