i too was diagnosed at a young age and had periods that lasted forever
or had them every two weeks. i tried several b4 finally being put on
mircette. it made my periods very light and not hardly crampy at all. i
took it for two years b4 going off to ttc. it also was wonderful for
the oily complexion and acne. hope this helps.
