First and foremost, it should be clear that there is no right age for the first period to show up. Although most girls start to menstruate between ages 10 and 15 years, one should keep in mind that every girl's body has its own schedule. A common sign that a girl is going to get her first menstrual period is vaginal discharge fluid, which usually begins 6-12 months before it appears.
