Birth control choices?

Kylie
Hey, guys! 
  I have serious cramps when I get my period. They are bad enough that I normally have to cancel my plans for the first two days and lay on the floor in the bathroom. 😅 My mom said that birth control will help with the pain. I would like to stick to the pill, and I'm just confused on if there is different variations of the pill? If so, what is your favorite and why?
