My period is so messed up, and I want to start the pill so it will happen every month and hurt less. I just went 4 months w/ out a period (have it now), and I want to start the pill when my period is over. The only prob is I'm pretty sure I need a gyno exam to get the pill, and I can't do that when I have my period. Plz help, I don't want to have to wait another 4 months for my period and go through all this pain again.
