[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Lets say the mood swings are menstrual related - would the pros of controlling mood swings with BCP outweigh the cons/risks of BCP?[/quote] OP, this is 16:21 again. Maybe you could persuade Wanda to keep a daily diary of Sarah's moods? There is apparently a condition called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which "causes extreme mood shifts that can disrupt your work and damage your relationships": http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pmdd/AN01372 Some oral contraceptives are marketed for treating PMDD -- for example, Yaz. I am not a doctor, but I hope that a doctor would at least ask for documentation like a daily diary before diagnosing a 12-year-old with PMDD (!). If you could use the diary, plus trying calcium and fish oil, even just to delay Wanda from dosing her daughter with her own oral contraceptives for moodiness, it seems to me that would be a good thing.
