Yah, i got this heavey period. I can't even go to sleep! How can I make it lighter/shorter?

I'm 16. I'm not willing to take birth control pills.

Hey.

I am only 17, and my doctor didn't want to put me on birth control because I am not sexually active so she put me on a different medication. However, I can not remember the name of it.

There are alternatives to birth control tablets that can decrease the heaviness and pain as well.

Try doing some gentle exercise, eventhough it might feel really bad, it's really really good for you when on your period.

Have a chat to your doctor if you are concerned though. And if you are concerned about leaking while sleeping place an old towel on your bed. I used to do that. :)

Take care.
