You poor thing! The pill was a godsend for me! I was put on it at 15 due to horrendous periods. The endo runs in the family, on my mums side. Mum had a full hysterectomy In her late 30's (both her sisters and her mum had hysterectomies as well) so my mum wanted to avoid that for me at all cost and was willing to try anything. The first pill I was on regulated my cycles and helped considerably with the pain and heavy periods but I was unable to skip periods as the hormone levels changed weekly in that pill (increased steadily before the sugar pills). In my early 20's I changed to Levlen and started skipping periods, as advised by my gyno, and I saw massive improvements.

Obviously it's not a good solution for everyone but it certainly helped me. Getting the correct pill for your body would help though but unfortunately the pill isn't for everyone either.
Taurean i was the same as you when i was a teenager, i would end up in the sick bay at school vomiting and everything from the pain, by the time i was around 14.5 yrs old mum put me on the pill too. I stayed on the pill till i was 23 when i come off it to try and conceive DS1 luckily for me i fell within 2 months but i never touched the pill after that pregnancy and i didn't have another pregnancy until i was 30 so makes you wonder if all those yrs on the pill caused any issues. Funny thing is now 10 yrs since not taking it i am now having 28 day cycles when i always had at 35 - 40+ day cycles all my menstral life. Maybe for me having two pregnancy's with the second one i bfed for as well so i didn't get a period for 2 yrs just maybe my body has decided to co-operate. But i am with Efjay and Bathsheba i don't put anything hormonal wise in my body if i can help it.
