I have noticed that my girlfriend takes birthcontrol pills and we don't have sex, she tells me she wants to wait until she is married. i asked her why take them and she says she takes it for medical reasons and because it controls her period. Is this true?
Thank You

Yes, it's true. Women with irregular menstrual cycles or even really bad cramps can take the pill to regulate their period and to ease cramps. Some even take the pill to clear up acne.

Yes. Many women have irregular periods. They often have no visible period for a few months - then have heavy bleeding for 2 weeks. The pill makes the body have a period each month, and so controls when it happens, and how bad it will be.
For these people, birth control is simply a side effect - not the reason - for the pill.

yes. often, if a young woman has irregular periods or very painful cramping and excessive bleeding, her gynecologist will prescribe some form of the birth control pill. this medication contains hormones that can regulate a young woman's body chemistry to stop those issues.

Birth control is used for many reasons other then preventing pregnancy. It's used to regulate periods, shorten periods, reduce cramps, reduce acne and as a mood regulator.

yes! birthcontrol can help with the regularity and severity of periods. they can make a big difference and make life so much easier for us girls! but it kinda sounds like you have a trust issue w/your girl. might want to talk that over with her.

Absolutely. It helps regulate cycles and can control medical problems related to the uterus, like endometriosis or fibroids.
