Hi my poor dd, who has now had her periods for almost 2 years, since she was almost 12. She suffers really bad backache for the day before and couple of days during her period. It is quite heavy, lasts about a week and she is having 2 a month. The poor girl is suffering from what is a mix of normal teenage angst and from what I can only presume is a high and low of horomones, and this has now being going on for some time. She is a lovely young girl, who is understandably finding it hard to deal with. She has had a blood test to check for PCOS which was clear. She is so embarassed at the thought of going to the doctor to talk about her periods and adamant that she is not going. I can, of course, understand this but I feel that the pill could help, if she only tries it for a few months. Any ideas on trying to convince her to talk to doctor, or any advice if your dd went through the same thing.
