NSAIDs: Starting ibuprofen or naproxen they day before your period starts can help decrease your cramps as can contraceptives such as pills, patches, and rings. DepoProvera and IUDs like Mirena (levonorgestrel) and Skyla can make your periods lighter or even nonexistent as well as helping with the cramping, hope this helps.
