Birth Control
"I&#039;m 17 years old and got started on birth control because my periods were 9 days long with severe side effects. I first went on the shot called Depo-Provera, that was the worst experience of my life. I was having my periods every single day. The doctors told me it was normal and it would regulate after my third shot; however, the 4th shot came and same issues with no end in sight. Terrible cramps, headache, even vomiting. When my doctor switched me over to Loestrin I had instant results. My period is now regulated to a 4 day cycle once a month. I do have cramps as a side effect, but they have gotten much better. Before Loestrin I would curl up in a ball and cry from the severity of the cramps. I would recommend this birth control to anyone."
