I was prescribed the pill when I was 15 by a doctor, because my periods were so heavy and painful that I'd be bedridden for the week, and if I tried to get up I'd pass out and collapse on the floor. Birth control pills did help: I still had a period every 4 weeks but they were more regular (like cloclwork), and so much less painful. So when I first became sexually active, I had already been on the pill for a loong time. And thankfully being in the UK means free healthcare, and living in Wales means I don't have to pay for prescriptions either
