My periods last 7 days which are really annoying. i'm on birth control. how do i shorten my period?

Consider change: You don't say what type of contraception that you are on, but if it is a hormonal method consider a change to a different type. Implants, shots and hormonal IUD's all minimize or eliminate periods.
