2nd opinion: Sounds like the pill may be a perfect solution, depending on exactly why your cycles are abnormal and what you are trying to accomplish. However, there are many reasons a doctor may suggest you avoid the pill. If you have concerns, get another opinion from a doctor who can review your entire history.
