Birth control for pre teen
Hi all,
I was just wondering if any of you have or have considered birth control for your pre teen?
I’m asking on behalf of my sister whose 11 year old daughter started her period when she was 10 and has suffered ever since.
She suffers with really heavy painful periods, hormonal acne and in the past year has become an absolute recluse of herself.
She refuses to leave the house which has now also resulted in her being homeschooled so she’s considering birth control to try and help with these issues.
Has anyone else put their 11/12 year old on bc for the same reasons and can offer any advice either for or against it?
Thank you!
