I wonder if anyone can help... my DD1 is 18 and on the Pill (microgynon). She had a bf that lasted nearly a year but the relationship is now finished.
She has carried on taking the pill which I am not too worried about. However, what worries me is the fact that she takes it 'back to back' to avoid periods. She has no pill free week. We have had big arguments about this because I don't think it is good for her body. Has the pill changed since my time.
All her friends are on the pill and they all take it like this. I have explained till I'm blue in the face that the pill is for contraception not for 18yo girls to avoid periods. She says that every time she is due a pill free week she has a party or something.... I know I know... how ridiculous bearing in mind she has parties she could go to nearly every weekend. I think this is bad for her health.
She says she has asked the Doctor at a health clinic she went to and that he said it was OK but I really think he probably thought she meant to take perhaps 2 months running not for ever! I have made her make an apppointment at our local surgery for Monday but I am not sure if she will let me come to voice my concerns. I want her to tell the Dr that she is doing this month after month. It is very common amongst her friends. Can anyone help?
