Dr. JM, BCP to control periods

[Guest guest]

Hello,

my daughter, now 12, was on yaz for about a year due to very heavy bleeding that

lasted for three weeks- what fun! The yaz worked like a charm to regulate her

periods. I took her off it about 6 months ago after a year on it to see if her

body could regulate itself. I think the problem is back and would like to hear

if you have any reservations on long term birth control use in our kids and if

you are aware if one form is preferable over another for girls with ASD. I know

yaz lowers testosterone, but that's not an issue with my girl.

Best regards,

Kathy
