There is a certain prescription that may help regulate your periods to around every 4 weeks, reduce cramps, and reduce your flow which is important to help with the anemia and may even help out with acne!. 'Oral contraceptives'!. Oral Contraceptives is not only used for pregnancy but of the reasons I stated above!. Some people may have a problem about talking about "oral contraceptives" to someone so young, because it's mostly associated with one thing and it's not!. It helps manage periods!. Being that you are so young!.!.!.a doctor is most needed to help come up with a plan on how to manage your periods!.
