Don't worry yourself too much. I went on
the Pill when I was young to get my
periods regular and I'm fine 7 years later
The only thing you might notice are mood
swings (think killer PMS) and your skin
will probably clear up. There may be other
things, like realy sensitive breasts or
breast swelling, when you first start but
those sort of things went away for me
after the second month.
Some women have other problems, like
decreased sex-drive, because the Pill
basicaly tricks your body into thinking
it's pregnant. Your period comes when you
take sugar pills, the hormones in the
active Pills wears off, and you bleed
because your body no longer thinks it's
pregnant.
(At least that's my understanding of the
basics, if I'm wrong please let me know
If your Dr. put you on the pill your it's
probable fine for you to take it.
If you have realy heavy, irregular periods
though, progestorone cream may be better
for you. It realy helped me out, lightened
my periods from 10 days of heavy bleeding
to 4 days of normal flow and regulated my
cycle too. Most Dr.s don't know about it
because it's a bit of an "alternative"
medicine (the cream can't be patented so
drug companies can't make a fortune out of
a one-of-a-kind-cutting-edge-formula and
therfore don't push it's use). Worth a try
though if you're just after regulation not
contraception.
Well I think I've rambled on long enough,
hope some of this helped
