About queenhearts



I'm Crissy!
I've been a featured user 3+ times already.

I'm an artist and photographer. I love makeup, DIY, crocheting, drawing, food, J-horror films & video games.


I've been on AN for 10+ years now. I started this when I was around 14 years old. I'm really open-minded and I usually give more than one option to choose from.:] When you witness a lot of drama from others and experienced it yourself, you pretty much know how to deal with it.

I get really bad period pain and I am sexually active. My mum has been wanting me to go on the pill for a while now. I use condoms but she said that with the pill my cramps won't be as bad. She also told me this morning that if I take the pill I don't have to get my period. And I can choose to get it normally or like only every two months or something. Like you take 20-something normal pills then like 7 other ones or something. Is this correct? I've never known about this, can someone explain it to me please?

Well yeah, the pill really helps with cramps and seems to shorten the days you have it. I don't have bad cramps anymore and my period lasts at least 4 days.
You take a pill every day for 3 weeks. The fourth week is full of placebo pills, it's the week you're supposed to get your period once you get regulated on the pill.

you can talk to your doctor about it. since there's a few variations of the pill. [21-day pack or a 28-day pack]

21 day pack, you stop taking birth control pills for 7 days

28 day pack, you will take a placebo pill for 7 days [more of a helpful reminder to get in the habit of remembering to take it even when your period comes]

supposedly, if you get another pill packet before your 4th week in.. you can "skip" that month's period.

people say it takes a week to work. but to me, i'll wait at least a month because you may spot in between. i wanted to be on the pill for a least 4 months before having sex, just to get familiar with it.
