Question on birth control for shortening your period.?

OK I'm 16 and I've never really wanted to take any kinda weird pill that messes with the balance of my body or whatever (well didn't want to take birth control pills). But OMG my cramps from my last period..ow..!!!! Yeah cramps hurt, but for some reason I've been thinking about trying to regulate my period now (btw my periods are very often not on schedule and sometimes last more than 5 days).

I guess I just want to ask anyone who uses birth control to regulate their periods, if there is anything I should know before deciding to try it. Is their any pain? like the cramps more intense? Just please give me some information and what I can expect. <3


Answers:

I started using the pill for the exact same reason. I definately have to say that I am glad I decided to do it. My period now comes every month when I am down to only 3 pills left in the packet, so I always know the exact day I'll get it so there's no surprises, it's made cramps a lot easier to handle, and my period is usually very light. Talk to your GYN about it, chances are you'll have much easier periods if you go on the pill. Giid Luck. :-)
