Can i take birth control to stop my period?i'm virgin but besides having to cope with the pain for days,i have to swim everyday and dive in the ocean

Yes: You can take it with skipping over the "blank" days in the packet. These are hormone free and that is when you get your period. Just go to the next packet instead of taking these. It is wise to once every 4 mo let yourself have a period though.
