birth control
"When I first started having my period I would get really sick. My flow has never been heavy and only lasts 5-3 days. I had acne really bad before I started the pill and the worst cramps of life. My doctor put me on the pill my sophomore year in high school to balance my hormone imbalance, help with periods, and help me gain a little bit of extra weight because of the fact that I was so athletic my body didn't have enough weight to support my menstrual cycle. I'm now a sophomore in college and actually use it as a way of contraception. My skin has been clear, my cramps gone, weight even, no period sickness, and I have not become pregnant while on it. The only bad thing is that I get really sick if I don't eat something with it."
