Yeah I used to be the same way. I was 16 when I was started on them and ended up just stopping them all together because I had absolutely terrible side effects.
Now I’m 21 and unfortunately with having endometriosis I had to have something as my periods were absolutely unbearable, even with my high pain tolerance. It took me a long time to find one that actually worked for me. Thankfully my gynecologist is great and helped me through it all.
Perhaps you can find a nice gynecologist that will listen to you and that could help in other ways rather than birth control if they don’t agree with your body.
Good luck to you and I hope your period comes soon 🙂 (and hopefully it isn’t too painful for you) xx
