It will mess with your hormones. Cats and dogs are very different from human beings. You say you're okay now, but what happens if your husband wants a biological son or daughter. Let's not be selfish. Periods are part of being a female :)
I don't think that a 14 year old is capable of deciding whether or not they will want kids later in life. What happens if you're in your late twenties and you find the right man and you want kids? You won't be able to.
I think that you should wait to make such a big decision. Yeah, periods suck, but so would knowing that you can't have children with the man you want to have children with because you made a major decision when you were too young.
I think that it would be something you could easily end up regretting.
Periods aren't that bad, you get used to them and its only a week or less each month. If you get cramps too terribly bad, you could always go on the pill or get medicine. If I were you, I wouldn't make such a huge decision at such a young age. I know it feels like you know what you want and that you're positive its okay, but trust me. You'll get even just a few years older and realize that you really didn't know quite what you wanted at 14, and you weren't quite as rational as you'd thought.
Cats and dogs are different than humans. If a 14 year old gets her hormones removed, that leads to early menopause. She can look older, which is definitely something that she would not want to have happen. A doctor would never agree to an operation like that unless she has breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. Or if her ovaries are in some way threatening her life or getting her period threatens her life. The first course of action would most likely be birth control though to see if that helps.
Except in the case of immediate medical necessity, a 14-year-old would not be able to have her ovaries removed. Many doctors, however, will prescribe birth control to help regulate and lighten periods.
