Cramps and BC Fears

Elizabeth

I’m 17 and the past few periods I’ve had, well let’s just say, they tried to kill me. The cramps were so bad I couldn’t hardly walk, eat, or go to the bathroom because of the pain. This excruciating pain only lasts the first few days of my period and I’m super nervous about birth control. I feel uncomfortable putting the extra hormones into my body because my period is pretty regular right now. Any advice or testimonies on birth control?
