I've heard or maybe inferred that taking the pill or any type of birth control would help regulate my period, give me less cramps, and bonus help me gain s little weight since I'm on the skinny side. I just wanna make sure I'm making the right decision. Me and my mother talked about it last night and I don't think she gets what this means to me. Even this morning I asked her to get new pads even though she bought a new pack but for her since her period may be lighter than mines and I admit my flow is fairly heavy for the 4 out of 5 days of my period. I don't think she understands that. Please help
