I will be turning 18 next week and I got my period on my birthday when I turned 12. Since then I have had a period every other week. I have tried countless different birth controls but my period bleeds through the pill. I have tried everything from homeopathic remedies to physical remedies to 12 or 13 different brands of birth control to diets. I have had no long term luck with any of these methods. My periods are always heavy, I bled through a regular tampon, an extra long pad and spandex, in just over an hour today at school. And they last about 6 to 7 days each time. I tend to get head aches, stabbing cramps and back aches, as well. I was wondering if anybody has any solutions or similar cases...I have had a time where I bled for 5 weeks straight and a new prescription usually helps to regulate for about 3 months before I start bleeding through the pill and have to change to another brand. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
