what would be the best birth control for regulating your period?

Question

Sense I got my first period when I was 16 it would skip and I would get them every six months. That was two years ago. My mother and other people told me I should try birth control to regulate it. Does anyone know which birth control is best for that or are they all the same when it comes to periods or does it just depend on the person?

Answer 1

I recommend Ortho Tricyclen Lo first. It has low hormones so it wont be such a shock on your body. However if it isn't strong enough to regulate your flow which is possible, you could switch to a different kind. But for starters I think ortho tricyclen lo would be the best bet. In order to get birth control you have to see your gynocologist who will recommend the best birth control for you.

Answer 2

All birth control pills are pretty much the same when it comes to regulating your period but it does depend on the person. You just have to figure out which pill is best for you by trial and error. Personally, I had to try several different kinds until I found the right one for me which is ortho-tricyclen. I'm scared of the patch, my sister-in-law got pregnant while she was on the patch.

Answer 3

my daughter is the same as you she has suffered with problems from the time she first started her period she would chuck up she was as sick as a dog to the point she would have to be sent to sick bay at school every time she got a period we found that the pill was the only thing that was able to stabalize her at all although she is a big sufferernow of arthritise so between the two she has a hell of a time Im sorry but I can relate to what you are going through having seen it in my daughter do go to the doctor and see what is available only then will you get any relief good luck

Answer 4

well in my experience birth control pills stopped my period I never had one for 5 years and I have heard that Depo Shots make most people stop I have an iud and have normal periods now but when i first had the iud put in place i had really heavy periods for a few cycles but pretty normal now No Hormones which is good for me

Answer 5

I have seen that the birth control pill is the best. From what I understand is there is a week that you take the inactive pill and that sends a signal to your body to start your period.

Answer 6

Ortho Tri-Cyclen

PS, while Depo does eventually cause many women to stop having periods this may take up to a year. The time in between can be a nightmare for some with irregular bleeding and other complications.

Answer 7

i've taken orthotricyclen before but it sucks because just about the time your body gets used to one level of hormones, it changes. i was a psychofreak and had to get off those things! i changed to a constant low-level estrogen and felt much better. the only problem was that i was forgetting to take them. if i had to take birth control anymore, i would do the patch thing cause it would be constant and you could never forget to take it. good luck. i was a late starter for my period too and had irregular ones. it's just awful... :)

Answer 8

You need to discuss this with your doctor. Sometimes it is trial and error. Everyone;s body reacts differently. Your doctor is the best person to answer your questions and to monitor what he/she prescribes.

Answer 9

I had the same problem and the doctor put my on the pill called ortho-cyclen (sp?) it works great.

Answer 10

you have to talk to your ob/gyn doctor to find out whats best for you, but Yasmin works really well for a lot of women
