[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a pediatrician and a ballet dancer. I’d recommend an appointment with your pediatrician to discuss options. OCPs might be a good fit, with the possibility of eliminating her period completely (since there is no medical reason for her to have a period). I have many teen girls who love this option. Also if she’s not able to approach her dance teacher, then the older girls at the studio will have advice on specific products. [/quote] My daughter - 14 - takes the OCP every single day. She started taking it because she had a large ovarian cyst. It made her skin look much clearer, her moods are much more stable and she is obviously thrilled with not having a period. Frankly I'm surprised its not more common. I also took the pill everyday until I turned 50, when I wasn't having babies of course. [/quote]
