[quote=Anonymous]Even the breakthrough bleeding on Mirena or Seasonique etc. isn’t going to be as bad as a full period and it won’t give her cramps. That said, if she feels weird about skipping all or most of her periods, she can use regular, 28-day birth control and her periods will almost certainly be lighter, more regular/predictable, with fewer cramps overall. It’s a good thing for teens to be on BCP. School/activity/sports schedules don’t allow girls to be sidelined with period problems, which a lot of teens suffer from. If birth control makes their life a little easier, I’m all for it. They can decide whether to go off BC after college, so age 22-23 or so, and still have years to chart and track their cycles looking for any problems before trying to start a family. [/quote]
