My mom is talking about putting me on birth control.. I was just wondering, why is my period doing this and should i agree on getting birth control

the first couple of periods won't have a pattern and are kind of off course. i think you should wait another month or two and then see a doctor if it continues. sometimes everynow and then it gets really heavy and bad cramps.
try eating bananas and stuff with a lot of potassium to help with cramps.
also excersise is supposed to help but i deff know how you feel right now and know your not in the mood to do anything.
lay down with a heating pad or buy little pads to put on your back that heat up.
a hot bath might make you feel a little better too.
