if your body is menstruating, how old were you when you got your period for the first time?
Thanks to @about-that-teenie-girl2 for the poll request! I will have to adjust the wording to account for people who used to menstruate but no longer do, but the question will maintain its meaning, don't worry!
NOTE: All you peeps who used to menstruate but don't any more, whether that's because of taking testosterone as part of gender transition (as is my situation), menopause, eating disorders, hysterectomy, or any other reason - I tried to word the question to account for every nuance, but if I haven't succeeded, then I apologise. 🧡
If you have (or used to have) periods, how old were you when you had your first menstrual cycle?
8 or younger (8 is medically considered the earliest the body can menstruate)
9
10
11
12
13
14
15 or older (15 is considered late, but healthy. Older can mean health issues)
I still haven't started my first menstrual cycle
I am on puberty blockers to prevent my first menstrual cycle
I have a medical condition that means I will never menstruate
I was born male or intersex without the necessary organs for menstruation
