Our dd has big wobblers
she gets them most around the time of month
tried the pill
but she's not together enough to take it often enough
i wonder if there's information on the implant for regulating period related hormones?

I can't see why it wouldn't work, it is essentially the pill without having to remember to take it, right?
Speaking from personal experience, hormones were a nightmare for me at that age so I sympathize. Pill helped me, but what heed more was someone's inspired idea to recommend cutting down on wheat... I cut it out altogether for a year and was like a different person, the change was incredible. Apparently nowadays you don't need to be so dramatic because organic or French flour don't have the effect on hormones that the pesticides used on normally wheat do. Mum had similar issues at the opposite end of the time scale, switched to organic bread and can't believe the difference.
On another aside, if she experiences pain as well, agnus castus supplements are amazing.

Big Girl has a depo injection purely to counteract PMT as other medications aren't suitable for her

I have an implant. I'm on my 2nd one (they're replaced every 3 years).
For me, it's wonderful as I don't have a period at all. I know that not everyone is as lucky. I wouldn't say that I don't suffer from any hormonal mood swings but I think that there are a lot less peaks and troughs.
I'm aware of some youngsters with learning difficulties that have them. Full consent from the young person would be necessary and there would have to be an understanding about why it was being given for the consent to be applicable.

Dd has used it for 2 years and did seem to help as she became even more aggressive and tempermental around her periods.plus no periods for did with implant.
I do know people who have pulled it out would blossom do that? Would depo injection be better if that was the case but has gone redone every 12 weeks.
Glad to see you PTspeedy recovery.

I wonder if instead of the drugs you could get the unit where Blossom is to have a look at nutritional info from Dr Maryon Stewart, Womens Nutritional Advisory Centre? She has pioneered work on women offenders suffering undiagnosed food intolerances and sensitivites leading to extreme PMT and hence out of control acts of violence. If the unit managed Blossoms diet, it would obviously benefit all other young people too! The results are astonishing - complete personality changes for some. Critical issues would be increasing oily fish, GLA (eg from linseed or similar), Zinc, Vitamin B group. It would need them to commit to lots of fresh food, no carp or processed stuff. Would be amazing to see if it helped the young people as much as previous trials have with women in prison etc.

It was Maryon Stewart's book that set us off on the no wheat bit as well :-) I didn't change anything else, just that and it was amazing. Even now if I am really under pressure, I cut back on wheat to make me feel better.

It's very scary how we manage not to use the available information to take the pressure off the NHS in this country. Like on that programme "The Food Hospital", when a boy who was unable to function at all in school or home was transformed by changing his diet. It was much more effective than any of the meds he had been prescribed. Wish schools would take it on board! x

What has always put me off dietary changes with regards to the kids is that they eat a limited range of food anyway, and to cut out a staple would be really hard. I've used a lot of homeopathy which has been on the whole effective, - mood swings are much more manageable (for me too).
Don't know anything about the implants I'm afraid.

Thanks all, she's had it done now and I'm glad
it aches and she's making a bit of fuss but that's fine
lets hope it works with settling her hormones.

Hope it works well for Blossom and makes things a little more level for everyone. x
