I went to the doctors today during school time because I almost fainted at school..My have been terrible for years (heavy flow, nausea, fainting, fatigue, etc.) and I have been exercising a lot lately to help the situation (which only made my period way late even though I am irregular) and my doctor said that I could be anemic (have low blood levels). He suggested that I take birth control to help my period cycle and pain, help not get pregnant, and essentially my anemic problem but I have heard far more negative experiences than positive ones. Even though it’s different for everyone and there are other ways to help this problem, doing birth control was his first suggestion..if anyone could help me decide if I should or shouldn’t take it and tell me your experiences please do.

Thank you for reading.
