My daughter is devastated that she has started menstruating. The first one was okay as it was just 2 days and very light, but her second period was a full week and heavy for several days. She loves gymnastics and has been involved since she was 6 and lives for it, but suddenly is telling me she isn't sure she is very good and finding other ways to devalue it. We played the "sick" card during her last period to buy some time but she is very embarrased about it and had no luck with trying tampons. I am sure others have been through this and would welcome your wisdom.
