So I got birth control today for period pain. A question or two?!


Question: So I got birth control today for period pain!. A question or two!?
My doctor percribed birth control for me for massive period pain!. Endemertiosis runs in my familoy, so we believe that could be it!. So I got the medicine today!.

I have a strict schedule for when to take it, as my doctor said it'd be a good idea, so that I would have a regular period!.

My doctor told me that the pill with make my periods shorter, lighter, and that if I take it regularly, it should always come on a Sunday!.

But, I just so happened to get my period TODAY!. =/

My periods used to last 7-9 days, with heavy to medium flow!.
I'm going to Kings Dominion with my boyfriend and his family this Friday!. It would be a living hell if I had to stop at the restroom every few hours, holding everybody up!.

So my main question is, Will the birth control already have stopped my period by then!? Because my mom said that it most likely will!.

If it did, this would bring me joy! Since my birthday is in a week, too!. :(Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If your doctor told you to start taking it today, then start today!. Don't listen to the people who said you should wait till the Sunday after your period!. That's just a convention, but you'll be fine starting it today!. Your period will likely have stopped by Friday, and even if it hasn't stopped, it will be MUCH lighter!. Don't worry about having to stop at the bathroom every few hours, anyway!. I'm sure his family will all have to go to the bathroom throughout the day and everyone will want to go!. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go to the bathroom!. :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would suggest you read the information that is suppose to be given with your medication!. I say this because I thought you had to start B!.C!. on a Sunday after your last period!. But, I'm not a doctor or a nurse so I could be wrong!. Might I also suggest you calling the doctor's office and speaking to one of the nurses!? Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't expect the pill to work wonders the second you take it!. It may take a month or two for your body to regulate!. I was always told to not start taking the pill until the sunday after i start my period!.!.!.you shouldn't even be starting the pack until this coming sunday then!.!.!.did your Dr mention this!? I would say Yes you will be on your period during the trip!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't necessarily always come on a sunday!. mine usually comes 2-4 days before i get to the placebo pills!. it is possible, however that your period will have ran it's course by friday, or else, be really light so it won't be much of an issue!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't count on any significant changes this time!. Generally you need to take a full cycle before those changes you mentioned happen!. You never know, maybe you'll get lucky but you took the first pill today, right!? That's only three pills you'll have taken,Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have the same thing!. i think that the pain should be waay waay down by friday, but your period will probably still be there!. you just won't have massive cramps
i hope you feel better and have fun :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its possible that it will, but I would wear a liner or something just to be safe!. Since you just started taking them, you don't know how the first cycle is gonna be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
