are you on birth control?
Jun 8 21 16:31
@nikeyxo yes but i might plan on coming off it soon

@bub124 i would recommend switching brands or forms of birth control.
just note that going on and off birth control can increase risk of blood clots so i would wait at least a year (also how long it takes to adjust from birth control) before going back on birth control again

Consider getting the Mirena coil, it lightens your periods and can stop them altogether (20% of people, I think).

In the meantime, a cup is probably your best option. They take a bit of getting used to but they’re great.
