I don't want periods, what should I do or take?

Question

My periods can be agonising, very long (1 week) and very painful. I start with diarrhoea for 2 days, so I stay at home and miss work / lectures. Very bad lower back pain, a lot of the times I cry. Usually I feel like my feet are heavy and extra painful. I get very irritable.

I used to be on the injection but it didn't work for me at all - I started having periods daily for a month. I'm on the implant now and well - I haven't been pregnant so far but it increase my periods to 12 days.

I know some people's periods go away completely, can anyone tell me which method of contraception they use, especially if they don't get periods or if they get less.

Answer 1

go back to your GYN

Answer 2

Yaz is awesome.  Its a low hormone pill and your period is only supposed to last 3-4 days, and if you have bad periods it eases up the symptoms

Answer 3

See a doctor they'll help! :)

Answer 4

My cousin had the EXACT same problems that you do. She had the pain, and all the agaony. Not fun :( Well, she evenutally started taking the Birth Control "Yaz" And you only get your period 3 days out of a month. It helped her right away and she stopped having pain, and her peiods became very light and painless!

Hope this helps!  

Answer 5

What you REALLY need is a chiropractor. Seriously.

Answer 6

I'm on the Mirena IUC.  I got mine inserted July of 2007. At first, periods lasted for a long time, about 2 weeks at a time, BUT they were very light.

and after about 6 months, my periods stopped altogether.  I still have PMS, but its not bad, lasts only a day or two then I'm okay again.

I wish you luck finding a method that works for you.

Answer 7

Progesterone only pills (mini pill) can actually stop periods or make them less frequent.  I've been on noriday for about 6 months and havn't had any bleeding at all.  The combined pill doesn't stop them unless you take packs back to back but makes periods a lot lighter and regular.

Answer 8

IUD

Answer 9

Take Yaz or some other birth control pill all the way through.

Answer 10

Have less than 16% less body fat or have your uterus removed.

The pill only shortens your period but it's takes a lot of the pain away.

Answer 11

you can surgically get your hysterectomy tooken out or birth control!
