should i or should i not?

so i have never taken “the pill” and i have super irregular periods. i’ve only had sex once and that was a couple months ago and i’ve had my period since then. my periods are always unexpected and terrible. i always have bad cramps and they are super heavy. i’ve talked to a couple people and they said i should get on birth control because it will help with my irregular periods.

has any of y’all used birth control for irregular periods? if so please comment how everything works 🙃
