I'm almost 16 years old, and since I've started getting my periods at 14, they have all been heavy. Not only have I bled through numerous pads, but there are other issues. My periods normally last about 7 days, and I've heard the usual is about 5..however I know they can differ. During the week I'm on it, I really can't do anything. Cramps occur in my abdomen, back, and stomach, and are pretty severe. In fact, just about every month, I'm out of school for a week, and can't leave my bed, except for short trips, (I've actually have had to leave public school because of this). I constantly have headaches, and I get issues with my digestion, when it's "my time of the month." If I eat anything I get sick off of it, and if I don't eat, I still feel lousy. I've tried many different pain relievers, heating pads, etc, and nothing helps. I also get extremely tired, and fatigued, and have no energy what so ever. On top of this I have the feeling that I need to go to the bathroom quite frequently, (but of course walking proves an issue as everything hurts). My blood is anemic too.

I've read some posts about people with similar issues, and some people said to start the pill. I've heard some strange things about it though, and currently I'm not sexually active. ..Does anyone know anything that can help, or what's causing this issue? Any info is greatly appreciated...thanks...
