birth control
"When I was 13 I was rushed to the hospital because I was very anemic due to extreme heavy periods, this wasn't even comparable to anyone I know because I would be changing my pad/tampon every hour and yes it was the haviest pad/tampon there was. After I got my blood transfusion my doctor put me on the birth control pills for 4 day. The worst 4 days of my life I threw up like crazy so then my doctor said I should try the depo shot (which I've been on for almost a year) it's the most wonderful thing ever created! My cramps are gone and I had a little bit of spotting on my first shot but that was normal but now I don't get any bleeding and feel wonderful. Yes, I did gain 10lbs but if you go to the gym you can burn it off very easily."
