Birth control to stop period

2017-12-16 04:42:37
I started taking birth control pills in May to stop my horrible period symptoms. However, if I take the placebo pills at the end of the pack, I still get my horrible symptoms for that week. And if I skip that week of pills, about every other month I get very light bleeding with no symptoms for 2+ weeks. I am wondering if a different method would completely stop my period. Like maybe an IUD?

Last week placebo has no role for your menses. Kindly consult a gynaecologist nearby to check why you have horrible symptoms of menses. And other methods would be better decided by her
