Tremor agony auntDepending on which one you use, yes, it can.

I started on the pill a few months back and my periods have been like clockwork - seriously, I can almost time it down to the hour. They are also significantly lighter, and about two days shorter.

Talk to your GP about it, they should be able to tell you all you want to know.

anee agony auntit depends of the type of pill - most women, once they have found the right pill, would agree it does reduce irregular periods.

when i first started my pill i was on for a month... but now im like clockwork

so i would ask ur GP and then just try and stick to it for a few weeks to see if your body settles to the new levels of hormones.

it many take a few diff types of pill to find the right one, but if ya lucky you wont have to change too much!

Yep, i'm on it myself and it helps a great deal. But there are side effects such as weight gain. So if you're already self-conscious with your body then you might have to go on some sort of diet.

THw pill is often used to controll regular periods. It depends on your hormone levesl and it is best to diguss the effect with your doctor or health clinic, it your peiods are not regular or you are having any side effects, it might be advisable to change it.

Please do remember that should you change your pill, your risk of falling pregnant for the first 3 months are higher, and it is advisable to use a condom as extra precaution. However, a condom might always be a safe alternative for STD's and AIDS.

i think you should go see your gp first, periods are natural if your not sexually active yet, i dont think you should be using contraceptives, i personally still get heavy periods, but i usually know how to controll them, hope all goes well take care.

Yes, some will make them lighter and more regular, some will stop them all together. The one I am on at the moment makes them go all over the place and is horrible so I am going to change soon.

Go to your GP or ask for a nurse practitioner as she will be able to tell you all about it.

Its just a case of trying different ones till you find one that suits you. Everyone is different.

Good Luck!! xx
