10 yr heavy period

[lillypainter]

Hi my daughter lost her dad in feb she is 10. The funeral was just before lockdown so it has been stress upon stress. In the middle of the night before Father's Day she began her first period and my god it is heavy ! I have an older daughter and it was not like this for her. I'm wondering if the stress of losing her dad and the Father's Day event could have impacted ? Does anyone have and insight to this ? She is so young and is on the spectrum so right now I'm doing everything for her trying to instruct her but she is just overwhelmed. So does anyone else have any advice. I haven't sent her in school today.

I can see your post is from a few days ago but I wanted to find out if you and your daughter are ok.
Sorry I don't have any advice but I wanted to send you a hug. You and your family are going through an awful lot. Stress could be making her period worse but I also remember my first few cycles were very heavy and awful (I was 11) I missed many days of school while they settled down.
It might be worth phoning her gp if it hasn't calmed down.
