anyway to make your period lighter
Not really lighter...but there's a birth control called depo-provera where you don't get it at all...it was the answer to my prayers....it's great!
Lots and lots of strong coffee... it restricts blood vessels therefore lightening your flow
The only real healthy way is to take birth control. Birth control shortens and lightens your period. I've also been guilty of eating a lot less and exercising more during my period which also lightens it a bit.
You could go on birth control pills.. Some other forms of birth control make your periods lighter and/or stop altogether but I am not sure what methods you have available to you in the US....
Most pill forms of hormonal birth control will make your period shorter and lighter- and you can often decide when to have it too. Starvation diets are also known to lighten menstruation, but the health risks are definitely not worth it.
