Summarize the following:
Birth control pills contain progesterone and estrogen, two hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and determine how heavy your period is each month. Taking birth control pills causes many people to experience lighter, shorter periods. If your period is particularly heavy and you're ready to manage it with medication, this might be the right option for you.  Talk to your doctor about getting a birth control pill prescription. Everyone's body is different, and there are a lot of different types of pills designed to cater to different needs. Make an appointment with your doctor or go to your local health clinic to get the prescription that's right for you. Take the pill according to instructions. If you skip a few days, you might end up experiencing a heavy or irregular period - not to mention, the pill will no longer be effective as a birth control measure. Be sure to take the pill every single day, at the same time every day, to experience the benefits you're looking for. The Pill isn't the only type of birth control that can work to regulate your period. If you don't want to take a pill every day, consider these other options that will have the same benefits as the standard birth control pill:  The birth control patch. This is usually placed on the arm, back or thigh. It distributes the same hormones as the Pill, only they're absorbed through your skin. The patch has to be changed every few weeks.  The birth control ring. This is a small ring inserted into the vagina and changed out once a month. It releases hormones into the bloodstream.  A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD). This is a small metal device that is implanted in the uterus by a health care provider. It releases hormones into the uterus and works for up to 12 years. The IUD causes some people to miss periods or have lighter periods, but for others it can make periods irregular. If you would prefer not to have your period at all, there are now options that will let you eliminate it altogether. Several drug companies make pills that create either very light or nonexistent periods, depending on your preference. The pills are similar to regular birth control pills, but they contain a type of hormone that can regulate the period to an even greater degree.

summary: Talk to your doctor about going on the Pill. Consider other hormonal birth control methods. Look into continuous birth control pills.

Rest small pieces of cardboard or poster board on top of and behind the gutters to make sure paint does not get on your home. Use painter’s tape to attach the cardboard to the top of the gutters, especially if it’s windy outside.  Thoroughly cover the soffit, fascia, and siding of your home so paint does not get on it. Use old boxes or scrap cardboard. Cut the cardboard to fit the top of the gutters, especially the corners. You do not need to use painter's tape to mask the house as long as you place cardboard on the gutters to protect the house. You will be working closely with the primer and paint so the risk of getting a lot of it on your home is low. Use a screwdriver to take off the gutters so you do not damage them. Place them on a painter’s tarp outside in your yard. Lay them down in order so you can put them back up easily. You can then prime and paint the gutters without having to worry about getting paint on your home. Make sure the primer is made for use on gutters. Buy primer at your local hardware store or online. The primer will help the top coat adhere better to the gutters. It will also help to prevent the top coat from flaking or peeling. If you have left the gutters on your home and want to prime them fast, use a paint sprayer. Rent a paint sprayer or buy one at your local hardware store.  If you opt to use a sprayer, mask the roof, fascia, and siding to prevent overspray from getting on your home. Keep a damp cloth on hand to wipe up any paint that gets on unwanted areas. Use the low pressure setting on the sprayer to apply one light coat of primer. Spray the sides and bottom of the gutters to prime them. Wear a respirator mask when you use the sprayer to protect yourself from the paint fumes. If you’d prefer to prime the gutters the old-fashioned way, use a paintbrush or roller that is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) wide. Paint a thin coat of primer on the sides and bottom of the gutters. Do not apply too much primer, as this can make it difficult for the top coat to spread smoothly and evenly on the gutters. If you use a fast drying oil-based primer, it will usually take about 1-2 hours to dry. Check the label on the primer to determine the drying time. Make sure the primer is completely dry before you apply the top coat.

summary: Use pieces of cardboard to protect your home from the paint. Take the gutters off if you don’t want to use cardboard. Get an oil-based primer that is rust-preventing. Use an airless sprayer to apply the primer quickly. Apply a coat of primer with a paintbrush or roller if you don't have a sprayer. Allow the primer to air dry.

If roots have clogged a pipe completely, they will block the flow of chemical treatments. Hire a plumber instead to clear the pipe with a Roto Rooter or similar mechanical tool. This also has the advantage of avoiding environmental impacts from herbicide.
summary: Have a professional clear clogged pipes mechanically.
