A member asked:
Can ocps help in regulating your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many years ago the original research on these hormonal preparations was focused of solving the problems of irregular menses, menstrual pain, etc. During pilot studies in the bahamas they realized the rate of birth went down for test subjects. Work later shifted to birth control. Your doc can certainly use these to help with regulating your period.
