Hi there,

I have no experience with this but I feel for you. My daughter is just about to turn 8 and I can't imagine her having her period at this age. The only thing I can recommend is to speak to another Dr to get a second opinion. Dr David Stirling is located in Central. He is a very experienced doctor who I'm sure would be able to give you sound advice. I wish you all the best. I really hope you get the answers you are looking for. Take care.

It's more common now. No one knows why. Theories include better nutrition and "hormones" in our processed food. There are hormone blockers that you can inject, but there are huge potential risk and I doubt that any pediatric endocrinologist would recommend it given her age.
