Menarche(say âMEN-ar-keeâ) is the first menstrual flow or menses of a woman. It marks the beginning of fertility, that is, your ability to become pregnant. Menopause marks the end of menstrual flow, usually after about 30to 40 years of monthly menses.
Your first menstrual period is called menarche (say MEN-ar-kee). It usually starts sometime between ages 11 and 14. But it can happen as early as age 9 or as late as 15. If you are a teenage girl, see your doctor if you have not started having periods by age 15. Menarche is a sign you are growing up and becoming a woman. Along with starting your period, your body is changing. You've begun to develop breasts, pubic hair, and underarm hair. And your hips have begun to widen. Menarche also means that if you have sex, you can get pregnant. You can even get pregnant in the month before your first period starts.
