Why do some people menstruate earlier than others?
Verified by Dr. Nancy Yen Shipley (she/her), MD, Orthopedic SurgeonOur Answer
What our doctors say
One of the most common reasons for some people to have a delayed period is due to weight fluctuations. Those with low weight or extra weight both have a chance of a postponed period. Also, high intensity athletes or those who do too much exercise are at risk of stopping a period from coming. Try to notice if your body is going through the changes that come before a period (breasts start developing, vaginal discharge, etc.). If most of your friends are experiencing those signs and you aren’t, it’s no big deal to go check with a doctor.
