Hi, I'm 15 and Friday I went to the docter for acne so they examined me and asked about my period. I said it is irregular because I keep getting it every 16-17 days. They decided to put me on birth control to stabilize my hormones. Do you find this noraml, has it ever happened to you before? I'm not having sexual relations either so don't leave answers that invovle sex. If this has happened to you did you experience any side effects? I'm just curious.

Yeah, I was prescribed birth control at 13 for bad cramping! The low level of hormones in birth control pills these days means that it isn't harmful to take them for a long period of time. And they help out with acne which is always a bonus!!

I was on it at 14 for bad cramps. The pill seem to be prescribed for all sorts of reasons, not just birth control.

Birth control helps to stabalize your hormones, and it does help with acne if you don't have it. A lot of people who go to high school with me are on birth control for those reasons, so yes it it very normal.

When someone your age has irregular periods, birth control pills are often prescribed because that regulates your periods.

yea it's perfectly normal there's probably just a lot of chemicals in the birth control that can help you with other issues and yes my sister took it sometimes it'll make u gain weight or such. ask your doctor or mom i'm sure they wouldn't mind telling you the other side effects.

Not strange at all, all those hormones can help clear up your face AND regulate your period. Happens to lots of people.
