Hi
I have really heavy periods and am considering asking my doctor if I can go on the pill to control them. However, I HATE taking pills (have a real phobia of it) so what can I do about that?
Plus, do you honestly think that a doctor would put a 15 year old girl on the pill? Especially seen as I've only had 4 periods (they started when I was 13 but are VERY irregular - I skip like 6 at a time)? Has anyone had any personal experience with doctors and the pill? How did it go?

My friends on the pill and it makes her periods slow right down and there hardly any blood hers used to be so heavy it would come through the pad. But its made her feel better, Side affects when my mum had it it made her feel sick and put on weight, which can make you depressed but it doesnt happen to everyone because your all different.

when i was 15 i went on the pill, they do give the pill out to teens under 16. Go with your mum and make sure you explain to her why you want to go on it. It shouldnt be a problem.

It is likely the doctor would put you on the pill if there is no reason (like extreme weight loss/gain or stress) for you to be missing periods.
If your doctor does decided to put you on the pill you will have an ultra sound first, which is basically pictures of your ovaries and uterus, to make sure there aren't any cysts or any other problems. If everything comes back a-okay, then your doctor will decided.
Now a days though, there are other forms of birth control that can be used to regulate your period other than the pill, such as the patch Ortho Evra [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) so ask your doctor about that as an option.

If they're as bad as you say they are, then I don't think the doctor wouldn't NOT (sorry about the double negative there) put you on the pill. I've seen them before (weird this must sound coming from a guy) and they're not that big, probably just a tad bit larger than the Claritin pills. And since you've only had them for a year, your body must still be getting used to it. After a bit longer things wil even out and possibly the periods won't be so heavy. ^^ <3 EJ
