I'd have 10 crazy bad days then nothing for 2 months then 5 days of spotting then 3 days off then 4 days on then a light week. I tried keeping track on my phone, sleeping more, drinking more water... nothing helped until my 2nd depo shot.
You may want to discuss depo or mirana with your SB. My SD at the time paid my $60 depo shot every 3 months. My current SD said if we still have our arrangement in 3 years when it's time for a new IUD he's buying it.

THIS!
I went from progestin only pills and just took them every day for 28 days which kept my period at bay for the most part (got it maybe 3-4x a year and even then they were super light and short) then went to Depo a few years which killed off my period by the 2nd or 3rd shot.
Since February of this year I've become an IUD convert (Mirena (almost went with Liletta)).
My insurance covered mine or it would've been $700.
With this IUD still being new-ish in me my body is still adjusting some so the period has been regular again the last 4 months
but when it does come it's fairly light (and short) and generally a Beppy sponge takes care of things.
I look forward to it nixing my period for good in another 3-6 months lol.
