Detailed explanation-1: -Menarche is defined as the first menstrual period in a female adolescent. Menarche typically occurs between the ages of 10 and 16, with the average age of onset being 12.4 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -A female’s first ovulation can be at the time of menarche, but usually is some months (or as much as two years) after menarche. The first menstrual cycles in pubertal females, thus, are often anovulatory (infertile).
Detailed explanation-3: -At puberty, a child’s body begins to mature into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction; the first period (called menarche) occurs at around 12 years of age and continues for about 30–45 years. Menstrual cycles end at menopause, which is usually between 45 and 55 years of age.
