Sorry if anyone has suggested this, I haven't read some of the replies.

My daughter suffered terribly with her periods (she is now 21) and also had autism so pain to her was total agony. anyway it was suggested that she goes on the mini pill and I can honestly say they have been fantastic, she now has a period about once a year.

I also had to go on it as my periods were out of control and I have a fibroid so my doctor also recommended that I take it, I haven't had a period for 18 months and it's amazing.
