if you have periods its 99% likely that you won't be turners. most girls need to be on the pill to get periods

Only just noticed this thread, but...yeah. I have Turners. Well, the "mosaic" form. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 13 as the only symptom then was that I was really short...there's nothing abnormal about a 13 yr old who hasn't started her periods, is there! I'm academic (at one of the top schools in the country), planning to go to Durham in October, and apart from my height there are no other visible symptoms. But they suspected it, and...I was diagnosed after a blood test.

Anyway, yeah, I was then put on growth hormone for a few years until it stopped working, and I'm now basically on the pill, which is what made my periods start almost exactly a year ago. I've basically been told I'm infertile, which wasn't nice to hear, though I know of the other options so it's not as bad as it sounds.

I should have been diagnosed earlier, so I could've started treatment earlier, even reaching a taller height. I'm considering myself lucky that I don't have it badly and that I can lead a normal life.
