Nothing will totally stop your period. I am on Seasonale and that makes it come every 3 months. It was a pain at first thoughgt because until my body was used to it I was having a lot of spotting. You have to make your you take it at the EXACT some time everyday though. Other than that I would reccommend it.

I honestly dont think its good to skip your period for months at a time. Kind of like I didnt think the patch was a good idea and in the end it wasn't. Someday I think they will realize having your period is a good thing and you should have it EVERY month, not when you pick and choose. Anyways, I have cramps really bad as well...I have gone to the Emergency room in the past b.c. of it. My doctor put me on some really strong meds but I cant remember what they are called right now (started with an "S"), and I dont have the bottle with me because I'm at a friends house. Call your doctor and ask for some pills to subside the pain, she/he should give you something right away.
Good luck.

i don't know of anything that stops periods all together but you're female and will get one. i've heard the shot isn't that great and they make you feel worse. i have been on the pill since about 13 because i had very irregular cycles w/ heavy flows. not much cramping but get severe headaches. i am now on trinessa, which is a substitute for orth tri-cyclen. my periods have never been better. for the cramps, there are pills you can take, such as bayer, midol, or pamprin. or the old-fashion method of a heating pad. good luck & hope things get better!

The pill will help lighten the cramps.
I'm on Kariva (got off of depo) and have had no cramps. I used to have them so bad they made me cry as well.
Do not get depo. The ONLY good thing about it is eventually you don't have a period. But there are so many negative side affects I'm surprised its still administered to women. I was on it for four years and am so glad I am off of it!

Depo Provera injections if they still do them but i got the injection(s) before and did not have a period for almost a year. you still get all the PMS symptoms (gas, bloating, ovulation pain/cramping) depending on what your PMS symptoms are, maybe some occassional spotting, however these injections, from personal experience and speaking to others that have had them had caused "missed" periods. There is a pill out now that lessens the severity and duration of your period. There is a commercial out for it now, i cannot recall the name though. Good luck.

I am on the Otho Evra Patch and despite what I have heard in the media, I have never had a problem with it at all. Best thing about them is that they stay on the skin for a week and I forget it is there. Not only that, but it is easy to stay continuosly on it without taking the week off for your period.
But that is what works for me.
Only precaution is, if you smoke. The patch wouldn't be for you.
Or they just came out with this No Period Birth Control called Lybrel. Here check out this website:

Hope this helps.

Cramps hurt, grow up. You don't have to stop your period completely and f*** up your system for life for cramps that last 2 days out of a month. They make plenty of pain killers.
Hey, you know it's your body do what you want. Tie your tubes.

i was just debating the pill that stops the period completely.. i have ad cramps and horrible mood sewings but it makes me so nervous to mess with my body and nature and stop it all together... talk to your doctor and see what they think before you go that drastic! take tylenol and use a hot compress to relieve the cramps in the mean time.

I'm always very wary of anything new (especially for women) that has no real long term testing. I'm concerned as to how this might effect child-bearing later.
