Menstrual cycles can't really be eliminated. If you have a light flow talk to your doctor about Seasonale. It's a pill that you take eleven weeks on, one week off. And you'll need to alk to your doc about taking it and having endo. But it isn't for everyone. I tried it and had a 45 day period. I finally just quit taking it. On the upside, it did help my IBS quite a lot. But I have a very heavy flow that wasn't about to wait 11 weeks. It works very well for some people, though.

Also, when you start your cycle, your body produces chemicals that can cause D and cramping in a lot of women.

I suggest finding a good OB/GYN to work with you.
