Women and girls can become pregnant once they are ovulating. It is generally assumed that the indicator of ovulation is menarche, or the start of the menstrual cycle. However, this does not mean that ovulation has occured for all women. Up to 50% do not ovulate until a year after menarche. One possible indicator is that the menstrual cycle is regular and consistent in flow.
It is also possible for some people to ovulate before menarche, meaning pregnancy could occur before any menstruation has occurred.
The average age of menarche is more obvious than the age of ovulation, so most studies look at this age rather than that of ovulation. These studies show that the age of menarche in societies where people are well nourished is on average about 13 and in poorer societies 15.
