What about birth control?!


Question: Hi. I am 16 years old, and I have a normal cycle with my period. The only problem, is that I have horrible cramps. I take Pamprin and Ibuprofin, but it only controls my cramps for so long. I also feel lazy, and I sweat and kind of get hot flashes. I pretty much just lay around for the first 3 days of my period. My period lasts for 5 days, and the cycle is very normal. I was just wondering does birth control help cramps? What should I do? Also, I sometimes my legs hurt during my period. Would birth control help cramps and shorten my period? I need some answers. Thanks.

Yes, some birth control does help with cramping, also take a heating pad and place it on your belly, the heat will help relax the muscles. sometimes when I get really crampy I lay down flat on the floor and streatch..... point your toes and reach far above your head. I think laying round and not doing anything makes it worse, force yourself to get up and move around, go for a short walk and just do some basic streatches. best of luck!

idk but...

Good Luck

Yes! Work with your doctor to find the right bc for you. I used to get cramps, but they are much, much milder on the pill. Yaz might be a good one for you. I take Yasmin, and I get less migraines.
