Dd had her first period in February, age 11.6. They have since been fairly regular but it's very hard to predict when they will arrive. She is going on a school trip in 12 days' time and it's likely to have her period then - which is a shame because she suffers with cramps quite badly. What is the best thing to do - I hesitate getting the drug that delays your period because I'm not sure when to advise her to start taking it, and she is still so young! Should I advise her to take ibuprofen?
