[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My GYN said to start visits when they become sexually active or [b]when they turn 21[/b], whichever comes first. Unless there is a problem, of course. Until then, a family practice doctor (or ped) is fine. One of my girls was sexually active at 17 and the other was a virgin at 21.  Just depends on the kid.[/quote]

That is alarming to me that a woman could potentially be menstruating for 11 or so years before visiting a gynecologist! Sure, some pediatricians are decent at whole-picture stuff, but that's not a certainty by any means! I have a son, but I'd say 16 unless a concern crops up. [/quote]
Why is it alarming? Mine started menstruating at 10, and I have no plans to take her before 21 unless there's a problem. [/quote]
What did you daughter weigh at 10?[/quote]

Different person here- I think it's pretty common to start that early. I got my period at 10 and I was a normal weight, if you're implying it only happens with overweight girls.[/quote]
