I would ask your mom. I know that I did and at first she assumed it was because I was sexuallt active, but after I told her it was for regulation and to make my period lighter she kinda realized that it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm not sure if your fam. Doctor can. I was alwys told that you need to see a gyno. Good luck!

I had irregular periods in the past (i would get my period twice a month)

i went to the doctor on three different occasions when this happened and all three times were different doctors and they all did the same thing.

They gave me birth control pills for three months to regulate my period. Once it was fine I stopped taking them and my periods continued on regularly for about 2-3 years and then I would have the same problem again so I would just go back to the doc and they would give me more pills again.

The never sent me to see a gynecologist, although I asked to see one. They just said to take the pills and if my period came back to normal then I wouldn' have to see the gynecologist (i think this was because I had just gone to see the gynecologist right before that each time)

I think i've had the worst experiences with bleeding and nobody has ever given me a definite answer. Around my fourth week of pregnancy I started to bleed and it continued on until about the 13-14 week point. This was so scary since I was bleeding every single day, but it has finally stopped and I am so happy about that.

Even though the doctors never gave me a definite answer :(

i still hope my baby will be ok

I had three u/s with the big machines (the ones everyone normally goes to) and three with little ultrasound machines were they couldn't really get a good pic of the baby but could hear the heart beat.

They said the heart beat was strong and the baby looked like it was still growing accordingly so the only thing they said one time was that it looked like there was a small hole in the sac, the other thing they said was some women have problems with their plecenta so that could be it but they couldn't see anything and didn't know anything for sure.

I also had lots of blood drawn from me. At first they checked for my hormone levels and then to see if I had a negative type blood. I don't know how many other tests they did with my blood but I had blood drawn out of me 5 times in one day!!! They're crazy!!! I went to the er three times because of really heavy bleeding and each time they took so much blood out!
