birth control
"This is the first birth control pill I've ever been on, and I'm 23. I got on the pill because I was having really painful periods and I had recently become sexually active. Month 1 was amazing, barely any side effects at all! I started it on day 1 of my period, and my period was way heavier than usual. During the placebo period week, I got a much lighter and manageable period. So everything is well, right? WRONG. I started pack 2, and during week 2, I start to get this awful cramping in my stomach, like how I would days before my period. Then the cramping gets 100X worse, and I go from spotting a little brown blood, to having a FULL BLOWN PAINFUL PERIOD! I'm supposed to go on Junel next month, but I might  just switch to a higher dose pill."
