i am 17 turning 18 in May. My periods can range from being absolutely fine- feeling no pain just bleeding or i will be in excruciating pain.

I remember taking a shower and feeling like i was about to pass out so i got out but could barely walk to my own room i had to crawl i was in that much pain i try hot water bottles , paracetamol ( cant have ibuprofen due to asthma) and heating patches but barely make any difference. I have no idea why sometimes my periods will be painless and the next month i would barely be able to move.

I had a doctots appointment who prescribed me tranexamic acid however i have been too afraid to take them as i fear blood clots and i also have to take iron ( i am iron deficient ) and scared i will upset my stomach lining.

I also went for a scan however they found nothing.

Anyway i was wondering if there was a way i could permanently stop my period; i do not want children and if i comes down to it i can just adopt. I can’t deal with the constant stress and pain of being on my period and i just cannot deal with this for the rest of my life :)
