Birth Control for Periods

Ashley
Hello! I'm currently having period pains (bloating, cramps I can feel in my abdomen and stomach...like above my belly button..mood changes, etc.) and I'm trying to be optimistic about the pain this time. I don't like being in pain at all because it makes me slow and I barely have the motivation to do anything, including eating.
Does anyone take birth control for their periods? I know my mother talked to me about it when I was younger, but I never considered it. I'm of course old enough to make the decision now but i want to know how it's like. 
To me, regular medication (I use a generic version of Mydol now) doesn't work after a certain point to calm the pain and I end up having to take more .
