Some more information about your daughter would be helpful. How old is she? For how many years has she been getting periods? Is she overweight? Does she have acne? How long has she been on the pill (Breast and armpit pain can be common in the first three months of pill use, but usually disappear after that point; if they continue, a change in pill may be helpful). Please feel free to write back with more information.
