A member asked:

Any other pills like birth control for a 16 year old girl? pills that regulate my period for a 16 year old girl a parent would approve of me taking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth control: Pills that regulate cycles also regulate reproduction. (Isn't that the purpose of the cycles?) The only difference would be the purpose for which you take the medication. I am not sure what your parents would approve of. Maybe you should talk with them about your issues.
