I consulted pediatrician and they said to wait till 16 years and keep watch on Iron level.. thank you

Get a repeat thyroid profile prolactin levels and ultrasound done. Because her age is just 13 yrs she needs to be evaluated as it would be very early to start on hormonal pills. You should consult a gynaecologist physically to look for secondary sexual characters development. If well developed secondary sexual characters then she needs to be started on hormonal supplements
