I want to get on the pill?

Question

So I'm 16 and I've had my period for three years. It has regulated and usually lasts about 5 or 6 days, but the first 4 days are always complete hell. I get the worst cramps, extremely heavy flow, and nausea. So I've been thinking about talking to my mom about going to the doctor and asking if I can get on the pill (i read something about the combination pill). I'm trying to do some research but I don't know where to start. I'm not having sex, or planning on having sex, but I want to the pill because I want to lighten, get rid of, of reduce the amount of times I'm on my period. So any information on what types of the pill there are, prices, riks, benefits, how to tell my mom, etc. would be extremely appreciated! 
Thank you so much! <3

i just went to the doctor and asked to get on the pill. when you first go into the room tell your mom to stay in the waiting room and then the doctor will go get her so that you guys can talk about getting you on it. my mom usually would have freaked out if i talked to her about getting on the pill but with the doctor there she was totally fine. the doctor suggested that i get on a pill that is not full birth control but should help. it didn't help that much and so i ended up going to a normal birth control and its great. i had an extremely heavy flow and now its practically nothing.

Its called zovia and its in a hot pink container
if you need anything else feel free to email me privately :)
Hope this helps, good luck :)

The pill works great for those problems. I had awful debilitating cramps, flow so heavy it was laughable, periods every two weeks, and they lasted a week and a half at a time. I use orthotricyclin and it gives me normal regular periods.

The pill doesn't stop your period, but I think it does help with cramps a little bit.
