Birth control, sickness, school absenses, and sleep?!
Question: My school is threatening to kick me out because I get so many absences in a quarter. This is my senior year of high school and I've always had exceptional grades, but we have a 5day limit, and when we go over 5 absences, our grades are automatically set to 60s.
The thing is, every time I PMS, I have trouble just FUNCTIONING. I can't get out of bed and want to do nothing but sleep.
The crappy thing is I can't get a doctors note because "I'm just too tired!"
So, my question is: Will going on the pill help me with the PMS-sleepies?

there are certain forms of birth control you can take in order to have as little as four periods a year. or shorter periods (3-4 days) i take yasmin and i LOVE IT it gets rid of all PMS and all those other wonderful period symptoms. I also lost ALOT of weigh when switching to this pill from another one, so the whole gaining weight thing is not true for this form. talk to your doctor and tell them your side effects
the website below is AMAZING if you have questions on birth control
yeah just skip the period
birth control made me way more sleepier than ever.. but I think it might produce different effects on different people. It looks like you might need to drink some coffee when that time of the month comes.
Yes, it'll help. The pill works wonders.
I missed about 20 days in my senior year of HS. The school kept threatening to kick me out, but in the end they didn't because they want their statistics to look good (98% graduation rate!) Their policy was miss 10 days and you're done. I wouldn't risk it like I did though, because you wouldn't want them to follow through.
