[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would post what the medical condition is to see if anyone has experience with it. I would be seeking out a second opinion here. 40 pounds is a lot, I can’t imagine how this has effected her self esteem and just how she feels in general.[/quote] she has menorrhagia.[/quote] If her iron levels are ok I’d suck it up with menorrhagia and get off the pill. It’s better to feel miserable for a few days because of a heavy flow than indefinitely because of being fat. [/quote] Sometimes it’s not just a heavy flow, but a uncontrollable amount of bleeding. I don’t know about this 12 year old, but as a teacher, I was bleeding through a tampon plus pad every hour. I had to wear a maternity pad, plus depends to work for months before my gyne said it was time for a uterine ablation. If it was that hard for me as adult to manage in a school setting, I can’t expect a child to do it when there’s medication.[/quote]
