Consider restarting: If you are not satisfied with your menstrual cycle control consider restarting birth control. Pills can be used to regulate and shorten the cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD can dramatically lighten or even stop the cycle. There are other options as well. See an Obgyn to discuss in detail
