Could Birth Control Help??

Question

I am sixteen and I have had my period since I was eleven. I never really cramped much at first, mostly just a migraine and back ache. More recently I have started feeling incredibly sick on my period. It got so intense I had to leave my English class in the last five minutes because I could not handle it anymore. Is this usual? 
-Dizziness 
-Nausea 
-Tenderness (everywhere)
-Fever
-Cold sweats?? 
-Sensitive stomach
-Migraine (lasting all week) 
 
I was also early this month by almost a week. Could this be caused by having sex recently? My friend keeps trying to tell me I could be pregnant?  It was safe and I got my period so I highly doubt that it is a possibility. My question is would birth control help with these symptoms on my period?

Answer

Birth control does help regulate periods however you mentioned you get migraines, I suffer from migraines so my doctor wouldn't let me use the combined pill as it means I'd have a small increased chance of getting a stroke. Instead I'm on the progesterone only pill/ mini pill which is what you'd need to be on if you suffer from migraines. HOWEVER this does not regulate periods, but it could stop them all together. Talk to your doctor and see what's best for you. Good luck X

Answer

Birth control would most definitely help, just be completely honest with your doctor. Either don't go with your mom or tell her you're fine to go back alone, etc. unless you're completely comfortable with your mom knowing you're sexually active. Your doctor won't tell your mom you're having sex, lots of people get birth control just because they have bad periods.

Answer

I mean when I got birth control my period was waaay lighter.
