[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports reasons is not a thing, speaking as a former serious athlete who suffered from dysmenorrhea. I mean, unless she’s got serious endometriosis... in which case, she should absolutely suspend menstruation until if/when she wants to have kids. [/quote]

Swim mom here. It is a thing. [/quote]

That’s crazy - women swim with their periods every day. What kind of crazy swim mom are you?[/quote]

Different swim mom here. My swim kid learned of period suppression from a lacrosse kid. Women play lacrosse with their periods every day as well. It doesn't mean it's convenient or desirable, and if a girl or woman wants to suppress her period it should be her informed choice.

My DD used the pill to suppress her period temporarily and then decided the pill was more disruptive than the period. The pill was certainly cheaper than period supplies, however.[/quote]

Swim moms:  what age did your kids start period suppression?[/quote]
