Answers:
I don't see what the problem is with wanting to take birth control to control, regulate, and cause lighter and shorter periods, even though your young and not sexually active!. BC really helped me, since I was 14!. I would be out of school for a few days every month and it was a huge pain!. Ibeprofin and Midol didn't really do what I expected for me!. But after a month or two of BC my period went from 10 days max to 3-4 days max, to 2-3 days after a few years!. Their shorter, lighter, and I rarely, RARELY need medicine for cramps anymore!. I think birth control is a swell idea!.

There aren't really any 'BAD' things that come from BC!. but then again, I don't know what you've heard!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Midol is very good to control all that, i use it all the time!.
I used to be on birth control (pill) and that got rid of all my pms symptoms, and it made my period more regular and lighter, however it is hormones, and if ur not sexually active is probably not necessary, and midol should be just fine, although that wont help you with the flow :/!. If it is too much to deal with, i guess you can talk to your mom and your doctor to try out the birth control for a few months to see how you do, my friends used to take it just to regulate their periods even though they were not sexually active!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm on birth control for my periods and it helps allot!. I have cystic ovaries so i didn't have to have my vagina poked around!.

but you can go to your doctor and ask about it!.

I'm on Yasmin And it helps so much!. My periods barley hurt anymore and i can actually do thing normal!.

you mgiht want to get an ultrasound too to see whats causing itWww@Answer-Health@Com

midol, pamprin or ibuprophen!.
they are all for cramps!.
excersising helps too, and tampons can sometimes make it worse so if it does that to you then i would suggest to use pads if they are that bad!. also drink some tea and have a hot bath,
when your done just relax and put a hot water bottle on your lower stomach!. :)

works everytime for me! feel better!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

i've had bad cramps with periods and i did notice after getting on birth control my periods were shorter/lighter/no cramps!. my periods are only like 3 days long and really light!. before going on the pills i would have bad cramps and my period would last 5-7 days with 2-3 opf the being heavy!.

i say go for it!.
if its making u feel that sick and missing school u might as well give it a try!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no need to take birth control if your not having sex!. Only if you are or your going to!.


Every womans menstral cycle is diff!. I have my heavy days where i cant go anywhere and have to wear 2 pads!

Your fine! Just comes along with becoming a woman!. Midol helps VERY MUCH when my period is at its worst!.
