Started at age twelve and a half, stopped from age 17-18 (hard athletics training), started again near 19. I bled lightly a few hours every 40 days or so. Went on the pill at 20 and now have a monthy cycle and bleed about 3 days. I'm 21.

started at 11ish. had bad periods and bled everyother week. i was miserable. finially got on the pill when i was almost 16 and been on it ever since. makes my life so much easier.
sad thing is i'm sick having my period already (i'm only 25) and i've started taking the pill for 3 consecutive months so i only get my period 4x a year. so much better!"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

Hey Chick, tell your Dr you don't want periods. They can put you on stuff that makes them GO AWAY. (like bc pills) If I had had that option at your age, believe me, I would have taken it!!

Started at 9. I too thought I was dying and my mom said "No. You just got your period. Go back to bed".............
On the pill for years; . lasted 2 days max nothing ever heavy, super light cramping...
Now, off the pill, cramp like the DEVIL, lasts 5 days, some heavy, and all I want to do is kill something the whole week. I'm 38. Are you guys telling me that I have 15 or more years of this crap????
I don't want to grow up/old, but this is getting tiresome......

i want menopause! started at 12.5 ... am 46 and seriously over it! the only time i had regular periods was when i was on the pill. Otherwise i could have 2 a year or 26 a year. Not fun. But, when i was 40 I went for counselling for abuse in my childhood and i kid you not, i started counselling in sept and from oct to now i've had a regular period every single month... almost always 4 weeks to the day. It was absolutely incredible to go from not having a clue which year i was going to have a period to knowing almost the exact day!
But, now i'm getting them every 3 weeks (last few months) and figured maybe i'm reaching menopause. Went to the doc and she tells me they cant tell you you're in menopause til it's over
... terrific!
Have had hot flushes for years...i mean since my early thirties. My sister is 50 and her periods became irregular last year. I remember my mother went through menopause at 47 (oh boy do i remember that!). And these days i'm really emotional with PMS... like last friday had major sobbing attack at work... that really sucks It never used to happen before

I can put up with the cramps. I can even put up with the inevitable IBS. The mood stuff is awful. For two weeks, I would become homicidal/suicidal. I knew that this person wasn't me, but I was powerless to stop her. Tried hormones but can't take them because they mess with my lupus. Finally found a shrink who isn't afraid to prescribe stuff other than prozac and things are better.
I used to plan my life around my periods. I even planned my marriage around my period. I would never schedule a vacation during those last two weeks. It was like half of my life was taken over by a strange creature. DH's socks in the middle of the floor would send me into a rage if I didn't watch it. I once chewed out a boss in front of everybody. Not recommended.
I'll be glad when this is finally over!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

I started *late* at 15, and then went on Depo (thinking that was a good thing?) at 18. Depo was bad for me. Hair loss, no libido, dysfunctional in every way you can think of, and no period (but I did manage to cramp)
After all ****in' kinds of fun, I stopped getting the shot. It was a year before I got my period again, and I was *ecstatic*. It seemed unnatural for me not to (just too pagan for my own good, I guess). The Diva is so convenient, etc, that I really don't mind/care...
so I've had my period 5 years. Yay!
