Hi, everybody. I'm 20 and find that menstrual time is uncomfortable and difficult and gets in the way of my everyday life. I haven't started working as of yet and don't think I'd be able to cope as I'd have to have at least five days off every three weeks.

I have heard of a pill called Lybril (or something like that) that stops menstruation temporarely until you come off it and would find this helpful as my menstruation really gets me down and is painful.

Could anyone recommend a treatment or have heard of this pill?

Thanks in advance for any advice and experiences regarding any treatments.
