If I get my period, I get cramps, period. No pill has been able to get rid of them, although some have mitigated them.
I personally swear by Depo. I never had excessive bleeding, and no period=no cramps. I figure, if I'm going to decide to have a kid, I should take at least three months to think about it anyway!
Plus, it's so much easier ... if you have an irregular schedule, taking the pill every day is a huge hassle. I don't have to worry about forgetting my pills at home, or taking it late ...
But it comes down to, all of us react so very differently to these different hormone-based methods - not even your doctor can guarantee what is the best one for you. I'm not saying you shouldn't use your doctor of course; she can suggest what she thinks is best and probably knows a lot more like it than I do (I sure hope!) It's just a caution that it may take a couple of different tries before you find the right thing for you.
