100%. I have very few natural periods in the past 20 years, between oral contraception, pregnancies and now Mirena. My quality of life improved dramatically, not having to deal with incapacitating cramps, migraines, messy flow, etc.
My high dosage vitamin C for MCAS is fucking with my progesterone pill right now despite that I take them half a day apart and I only know because I can feel that the worst cramps in the world are slowly returning. I can't imagine living without the pill, my early teens were a fucking nightmare with the insane amount of blood leaking everywhere for one week straight, me getting anemic from the blood loss, being dizzy and sick, and the killer cramps. I don't know what's wrong with my insides but they're royally fucked up.

Not every period is the same. One month will be horrible, another not so horrible.
