Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Periods can have very differing schedules and lengths of time or types of flows during the teen years. When you add hormonal birth control that messes up the body further. Just keep your dr. informed and see how long they give your body to adjust to the particular type you have.
The better thing you could do is go online and read the side effects for what you are taking and all the other hormonals contraceptives.
Because the hormones trick your body into thinking its pregnant so you dont release an egg, you can have other symptoms of pregnancy like painful tenderness in breasts that dont go away, bloating or weight gain, not always minor but some women report going up a couple sizes in clothes, loss of libido, changes in hair growth, mood swings and maybe depression, increase of acne or first time acne, oilier skin, constant headaches, and a few reported migraines.
The Drs. lightly pass over the side effects because these contraceptives must be replaced /repeated at some point such as the pill and shots so over long term it's more expensive over time say 5 yrs vs the IUD not the Mirena (its hormonal) but the copper. I have read online womens reports of what it cost them with planned parenthood and tho month by month the pill seems less expensive the IUD is good for up to 10 yrs so the initial cost is very little wehn compared out by the years. There are side effects but very little compared to hormonal contraceptives. I encourage you to look it up online
