So I'm 13 and today my mom took me to the doctors to figure out some problems with my irregular period.My doctor prescribed me with TriNessa to make me regular and I was reading the packaging when I got home.I noticed it said "This product (like all oral contraceptives) is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against HIV... etc.":I'm not saying I want to switch but I was wondering if they'd really prescribe me with actual birth control. I thought it'd just be a low dose to regulate me. I guess not...???Help me out please, I'm totally confused. )So in other words, I can basically do whatever I want and not get pregnant?

yes it is, a side effect of birth control is to regulate periods. I got on birth control because I had really bad cramps.

Yes, it is a birth control. Lots of doctors prescribe birth controls to help regulate periods or to help with acne.
