[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went on the Pill at 12 for dangerously heavy bleeding and stayed on it until 40, only coming off to TTC. No issues. However, for cramps she can get prescription strength motrin or the doc can recommend how many OTC motrin to take. [/quote]

11 yr old's mom here.

did you have fibroids? what was causing your heavy periods? what happened after you went off? was your cycle still heavy?[/quote]

No fibroids. The dx was "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" aka we don't know, hormones are wacky. I ended up in the ER and needed 2 units of blood.

I went off the pill in HS, but had heavy bleeding + bad cramps and heinous moods so I went back on. 
Went off again at 33 to TTC and had 2 normal cycles followed by pregnancy on first TTC attempt. Back on after delivery.

Went off at 39 for a few months, then TTC and had series of miscarriages. Noticed my cycle was shorter and shorter. In hindsight, might have had better TTC luck if I'd tried right after going off the pill as it might gave normalized my cycle. But hard to say - at 40, with 42 yo DH, secondary infertility not uncommon.

Cycle got really short - down to 2 weeks - with no known cause, but got normal again when I lost some excess weight last year. Currently I have a normal cycle and am not on the pill.[/quote]
