    Hi Deborah

    Sorry to ear about your daughter. As she so young and already suffering with this heavy period.

    I can simpatizing with your daughter and your pain as I suffer from the same myself.

    All I can do is pray for your daughter as a Christian I strongly believe that God can do everything and anything because nothing is impossible for Him.

    Best wishes

    Maria

    Hi Deborah,

    I would keep taking her back to the doctor until you find something that works. I have been on mefamenic acid and tranexamic acid, they have helped a lot with the bleeding. If she has already tried the pill for a month and nothing has changed it's time to take her back to the doctor for them to prescribe something else.

    Good luck

      Hi , feel awful for your daughter, she should be enjoying herself at school, not worrying about bleeding everywhere. I agree go back to the doc as it can take months for the pill to start working and get the abve 2 drugs as they can ease bleeding. Maybe she can also try noretheroine which can delay periods for when she has exams and stuff. 

      Sending hugs to her.xx
