Dd is having a horrendous time -she floods through pads and tampons in under an hour
We have been to the gp and told that because she's not in a regular cycle then she can't go on the pill
She's tried another medication to reduce her flow -didn't work
This morning she flooded before the end of her first lesson -ended up sitting on her coat to protect the chair so she wouldn't leave an obvious mark
She had pads and tampons with her but her trousers were soaked to mid thigh
School didn't ring me to let me know
She went to student services, told them she had leaked (but probably not to what extent because she was mortified) their response was to offer her a fresh pad with a charge of 50p
It's a cashless school, she didn't have 50p -but she had supplies anyway
What she needed was a wash and a change of clothes
Her year have been told in a pshce lesson that periods are no reason to miss school and they need to deal with it
I know this isn't AIBU but WIBU to keep her at home for the first couple of days of her next period?
The last 2 have been in school holidays, she's flooded through to the sofa and her bed both times but this is the first time she's had to deal with it at school
