Unpredictable or painful periods can interfere with your work, school or time normally spent with your family or friends.  It doesn't have to be that way!

There are many options for taking control of your period :

Birth control pills can make your period shorter and more predictable. Newer pill types can even limit your period to 4 times per year or less. For many women, birth control pills are an easy and effective way to control their cycles.

Depo Provera is an injectable form of birth control taken every three months. Many women stop having periods completely after the second or third dose. However, like most hormonal methods, Depo Provera has varying levels of side effects for different women.

For women who had their tubes tied (or if you are ready for permanent birth control), NovaSure endometrial ablation is a method to drastically reduce or even eliminate periods. NovaSure is performed under anesthesia either in the office or in the day surgery center. The procedure takes only a few minutes and does not require a surgical incision. NovaSure is performed from below through the cervix. For some women, the procedure eliminates their periods completely. For others, heavy bleeding is drastically reduced. 

These are just a few of the available options. Each has pros and cons, risks and benefits.  Talk to your doctor about which one is right for you.
