Period Problem

I started my period five years ago (6th grade) and have never had a regular period cycle until recently when i started birth control. I started birth control in order to reduce acne, which i have had severely since about 4-5th grade. Since i have started my period i have had zero breast growth & i never get cramps or have any hormonal wackiness when i am on my period. The only thing that does happen is that my acne flares up a lot. All of this has gotten my worried, especially my non-existent breast growth ( i am not exaggerating, i really don't have breast). Every woman in my family is at least a C and i am also the first girl to get her period before the age of 14.

I am worried that i may have a medical problem.

I didn't get boobs till tenth grade. And acne is normal when you get your period. Don't worry! :)

I did not fully develop until after 20 years old.  My breast also took a huge growth spirt after age 50.  I was totally shocked that this would happen so late in life.  You have plenty of time my dear!!

personally I wouldn't worry about this. If it worries you to the point of restlessness, it never hurts to see your GP. I was an A cup my ENTIRE life, with, without before and after period I have never had breasts.  Although no one in my family does either. Honestly it really is true that some people dont develop breasts until even later than you, if you are getting acne and other hormonal things around your period then it sounds to me like your hormones are infact working. Again I really wouldnt worry about that at all, but if you are worried you should see your doctor to ease your mind : )
