birth control
"This is my first birth control pill I've ever been on so I don't have anything to compare it to but I am 16 years old and have 11 day periods which are extremely heavy with terrible cramps, fatigue, and headaches. My gyn put me on this and everything was great for the first 3 weeks. I never had any breakthrough bleeding. I did have some slight cramps for the first week but they were nothing compared to what I've been on. I am on the first day of the placebo and so far no bleeding but I do have awful cramps again which I thought the pill was supposed to take care of this. If this is the way my period is going to be every month I might ask my doctor about Seasonique so I only have to deal with this once every 3 months."
