I'll tell you the truth, my daughter has a medical condition where one of the symptoms was precocious puberty. She started breast development at age 2, but the problem was not identified until she was about 4. By the time she was 5 she was on medication to stop further development, including her period. She went off the medicine at age 8 & I was advised that it would take about a year for her to go back to developing. So, it was no surprise that she was a young starter although I hoped she would not be. But, I would be afraid to stop her period again

Thanks for sharing the information though. I can see how it would be useful to others.
