I'm 16 years old. My periods aren't really that bad considering my flow. I'm usually light-regular, but I'm kinda irregular, but only by a few days.

But the cramps are so bad I have to pretty much OD on medicine to make it go away, and even after that I still have pain. My cramps usually hurt up high, like indigestion or heart burn. And they only go away if I lay down in the fedle position and don't move at all. If I do move, its like a shock wave and the cramps start again. I also get a lot of ovarian cysts and every time I'm on my period I get diarrhea. If I do have a normal stool, for some reason my v****a hurts when I go.

So, do I sound like a good candidate for birth control? Because it sounds pretty good to me.

  1. The only thing that might prevent a doctor from prescribing the pill is the cysts. I'm not sure though.  


  2. Discuss this with a doctor.

    Hormonal contraception, in pills, injections and implants, can lessen period pains.

    You will need to talk to a doctor about your ovarian cysts though, as if I recall correctly, some hormonal medication can interact badly with them.


  3. I would definitely talk to your doctor about birth control.  I used to get bad cramps (with nausea and diarrhea) and birth control has helped me immensely.
