[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] FYI, it is NOT yet advised, even by menstrual suppression proponents, that adolescents under 18 regularly skip periods. NO long-term tests have been done with this population, and given the developmental issues specific to young women (especially big risks like bone mass loss, which has been shown to be a problem w/teens and Depo, as well as other risks), if and when long-term tests are ever donw with younger women, it's likely it'll be found to be problematic for long-term health.
