Okay I have a question I get my period alot I feel like im constantly on it. I just had mine a week ago for 8 days. Mine usually lasts for 7-10 days this time it was 8 and now a week later I have it again I woke up cramping and then found out I was on my period again. Does anybody have any clue why im like this just to let you know a little more I started my period when I was 8 im now 27 and I have always had a irregular period I never know when its comming and I bleed alot and cramp really bad everytime. I have tried birth control but never stayed on it because I didnt want to gain weight im a thick girl and I didnt want to get any bigger im overweight as it is any suggestions on a method of birthcontrol that wouldnt make me gain weight.

I would say go back on the birth control, and just exercise a tad bit more so you don't gain anymore weight. I'm kind of a chubby girl myself, I take ortho lo, and it didn't make me gain any weight, and my periods are like clock work! Maybe your menstral cycle is just a bit messed up, and needs some help to make it run more smoothly
