Desperately need help...can a 7 year old get af??

[~clover~]

I'm not on the pill. I use depo. Noone in our families, mine or ILs has gotten af earlier than 11.

Ok, I'm taking a deep breath & telling myself that its ok. Until she gets home I will survive.
I put the undies in the wash. Maybe that'll tell me something...probably not.

If it is blood of some sort, I will be booking her into the doctor, as it needs to be checked out by a paed if thats what is going on at such a young age.

hopefully you can get a hold of your friend just so you can put your mind at ease at least.

Just wanted to send hugs I know it can be young now but I haven't heard of anyone that young with out the other signs that you mentioned. Maybe try and pick her up early and see how things go....I'll be thinking of you!

I had my first one just before my 8th birthday, so yes it is possible.

Ohh hun, I really hope she isnt hun. Sending lots of comforting hugs.
This lady I knew a few years back was tellng me how her DD who back then was around 9yrs possibly even 8 had started getting AF, she had her at the DR's and they had mentioned to her that with all the hormones they are using to feed chickens to make them grow faster, that it goes through our kids, such as making them develop earlier.. Not sure on how true it is but I thought maybe worth a mention.
I too worry about this with my DD's, so I understand how concerned and worried you are. I really hope it was nothing. hugs

Hmmm thats a tough one hun It does sound odd at seven, but I thought I'd let you know one of my bests friends all through primary school got her period when she was seven too. After trips to the doc and a few tests they discivered she has a rare thing which causes the body to mature early, sorry I dont remember what it's called. But from then on she had to have medication until she reached an age that puberty could start.. by the time she was eleven the meds stopped working and her period came back. Sorry that's not much help! As I said it's not common so dont worry it prob isn't even it.
I think you should try talk to her about it. Tell her it's a perfectly normal thing to happen but it is really early and you being mum need to know for sure what is going on etc..
You must be doing your head in at the mo, just try relax a bit until you speak to her about it good luck hun!!
