Birth control: It is not clear if this is a new start to birth control for the 1st time or if you were already on it and starting a new pack. They should be taken one pill per day and you can start them today. Birth control is very effective at reducing menstrual bleeding and helping with cramps.

Lighten it up: Taking birth control pills with lighten the flow and cramps with a cycle. You may see some improvement now, but the biggest changes will be with the next cycle, so start them now
