Hi. My opinion would be that you need to get your period back into whack before jumping into any birth control.

Whacked out periods are our body's subtlest way of letting us know that there is an underlying health problem that we are missing, such as a chemical or emotional imbalance.

I had normal periods all of my life and then suddenly had one that lasted 3 years. Yep, you heard that right, THREE YEARS!

I went to specialist after specialist and even had some invasive surgeries. Nothing worked.

I went on the birth control pill, per the suggestion of my doctor, (even though I am a certified herbalist and knew that this was the wrong choice.) That fixed the problem, except that every time the "period" section of the pills came I had, again, profuse and uncontrollable bleeding.

Having been treated and mistreated by the medical establishment for years, I decided to go back to my herbal knowledge. I carried out extensive research on women's remedies, both ancient and modern.

I discovered that chaste tree berry has been used by women since ancient Sumeria to balance hormones and regulate bleeding before and after pregnancy.

It took some time to find an herbal company that produced Chaste Tree tincture (also known as Vitex) and after being on that tincture for only 48 hours, the bleeding stopped....after three years. I kept on it for six months, as every time I stopped it I would bleed again. Eventually it rebalanced whatever imbalance had initially caused the issue and I no longer take anything to regulate my periods.

Now I am back to the same normal cycle that I always had.

Tinctures take time to subtly readjust your chemical or hormonal imbalances and tighten the muscles that each herb works on.

I know that Vitex works and that it is good for both heavy periods as well as infrequent periods, as several of my fiends have used it after I suggested it.

Once you get yourself back into whack you can then choose from a variety of natural birth control solutions. I agree that Peraly is a very reliable method indeed.

Hope that this helps!

Blessings,
