How much do you have to weigh before you start menstruation?

Answer 1

Weight, height and age will vary as to when a teen or girl starts her menses. Some girls will follow a pattern in her family. Such as Jennifer's period starts at age 12 just as her mother, grandmother and all her aunts. Other girls will start at a different time than her mother and other women in her family. The important thing is that the menses cycle needs to be fully understood by any girl. If there are questions the girl can ask her doctor, teacher, counselor, relative or an adult she trusts.

Answer 2

There is no specific weight. Your period just comes when it's ready to come.

That wasn't the answer I was looking for. Sorry. But I weigh about 120 lbs and I still didn't get my period. Is there something wrong with me????

Answer 3

No, but if you are really skinny, like anorexic, periods might never begin.

If you are slim but healthy, they will come somewhere between age 8 and 17.

Yes, this is often caused by lack of nutrients. Skipping or lack of periods is common among those women with anorexia nervosa.

Answer 7

It isn't so much a case of being a certain weight as having a certain body fat percentage. There is no specific weight or age at which to start puberty, as it varies from person to person.
