Default Menstrual cycle and bedwetting

Hello...I'm new on here, but glad I found this site. I have an almost 13 year old daughter who has had her period for about 2 years. She never had an issue with bedwetting until her period started. We have noticed that it always happens when she is on her period. Has anyone else heard of or experienced this? She is a deep sleeper anyway, but was night trained at a super early age (before she was 2!)...so it has been frustrating for both of us. We've tried having her not drink any fluids after 6 pm. She's already off dairy because she is allergic to milk. She has no other health issues and is a normal preteen girl.

Thanks so much!

It is stated that 1 in 100 teenagers can experience the occasional bedwetting.

Here's what I found on the subject which we hope helps you further.

I am also wondering if she uses a Tampon? It may also be, that this is pressing on her bladder as it fills...

One such discovery reveals that hormonal problems do contribute towards nocturnal enuresis, or in the case of this article more specifically teen bedwetting. The hormone ADH makes a person's body generate less urine during the night. However, if the teen’s body does not develop enough ADH this control is not sufficient and hence the amount of urine developed is more and results in teen bedwetting via involuntary urination.
Some teens also have relatively smaller bladders that are not large enough to hold a large volume of urine, which often results in bedwetting as the amount of urine developed at night while the teen is sleeping is more than his or her bladder can hold handle.
The problem of teen bedwetting has also been traced down to genetics. Teens with problems of involuntary nocturnal enuresis often have a history of parents who had the same problem at similar ages. Certain genes can be identified that cause enuresis but the exact reason for teen bedwetting is still unidentified. Sleeping disorders or rather deep sleeping habits have also been identified as reasons for teen bedwetting.
Teen bedwetting can also be related to psychological problems. Family problems, shifting into new schools and social environments, or family tension can result in disturbed sleeping habits and patterns and produce the problem of teen bedwetting. Stress during teenage years can thus be strongly suspected as a cause of secondary enuresis.
Doctors may treat teen bedwetting differently depending upon the cause of it. In cases of illness the specific illness is treated. There also exist several behavioral approaches that are utilized for treatment. Primarily and most importantly, people with nocturnal enuresis are advised to prevent a swarming bladder by reducing the quantity of fluids they drink before going to bed. They are even advised to reduce the chances of wetting the bed by going to the toilet just before going to bed.
Overall it is a combined process of behavioral modifications, reducing mental tension, and in some cases incorporating a very mild medication that can help a person control teen bedwetting.
