The pill helping with cramps is a myth. They don't. As for shortening periods, that is untrue as well.The pill is very expensive if you're not on medical insurance, however, clinics like Planned Parenthood have a sliding pay scale. The best place to go would be Planned Parenthood.When you go to a clinic for birth control pills, they will ask you questions about your medical history, your periods, and if you're sexually active. Then they will give you a pelvic exam. You can't get the pill without a pelvic exam first, then you must have one every six months.
