GP - treatment offers for period/ovulation pain 16 yo

[DoinItForTheKids]

Hi

And by GP I mean General Practitioner, not grandparents!

My DD has two ills each month one being her period which can be really painful, and the other is ovulation pain in the middle of the cycle - enough to double her up at its worst. She has lost numerous school days from either one and we've certainly waited a considerable time to see if it would all calm down - it hasn't.

We have a GP appointment on Monday to discuss this whole topic and I wanted advice from others who've had DDs with this, to find out how your request for help was taken by the GP, what treatment/solutions were offered, and how well did they work?

Be helpful to see how this issue was addressed with others and might give me a bit of a steer to offer ideas to DD about which option(s) offered she might want to research ahead of the appointment.

Thank you.

Er, I haven't 'demonised' the pill - did you read my update post? DD made the decision herself having heard all the objective evidence from the GP? Its DD who doesn't particularly want to go on the Pill if she doesn't have to (HER view), I don't mind one way or the other.

So we're all happy at this end with where we are right at the moment, promise!

Kevin I don't think op influenced dd or has objections to pill on principle.

Your mum is VERY wrong to do so with you, the pill helps with a LOT of conditions aside from being a contraceptive. And even as a contraceptive it's 2018 uk (I'm assuming you're in uk) I can't imagine any but the most misogynistic men seeing it as a problem.

You seem like a really lovely and supportive mother, and I honestly am sorry if I’ve caused any offence!

None whatsoever Kevin, don't worry!!!!
