[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, getting your kid on BC is the answer.  The periods will be less severe or possibly less frequent if they go on a one period every 3 months pill.  Your DD will also know exactly when her period is likely to start, so she can take some preventative Motrin.

Also, even if you're pretty sure your teen isn't sexually active, you can't be 100% sure.  It's safer to make sure they're protected.[/quote]

Overkill.  Her daughter has had her period for 2 yrs and just now took an ibuprofen for the first time.  If pain is controlled by OTC meds there isn’t reason for BCP.   I’d try midol first though.  Less harsh on stomach [/quote]

It may be overkill for the first time but I wouldn't allow it to be so severe she's suffering before taking her to the dr.

BCP + prescription for cramps (step up from OTC) was a lifesaver for my DD. She wasn't debilitated but she had horrible cramps, heavy periods, and breakthrough bleeding. All of that is much less, and more manageable for her, now.
