Couldn't 'phone within her earshot, but this morning she did a wee and came out saying there was blood on the loo paper.

FGS, she's 8 and a half. Showing some signs of puberty - downy hairs, oily skin/hair - but 8 and a half - is that possible

As an alternative could it be a UTI? I think you need to know how much blood?

God, she's past that stage of letting us know. I did ask.

I'm sorry I don't properly understand what you meant by your last post [thick emoticon].

Has it continued through the day? Is her underwear stained.

If it is earlu puberty I would speak to GP. There may be chance that they can delay things for a while with hormone treatment (she says with no knowledge at all)

Have you asked her since, if she is still bleeding?

Why jump to the conclusion of early puberty instead of a UTI? Or have there been other signs?

Hopefully it's nothing

ff, I asked her midday and she wouldn;t let me look.

SMS, I don't know. She just won't let me look
