Alright, So Basically I Hate My Periods. There's A Lot

Alright, so basically I hate my periods. There's a lot of gender dysphoria related to them, and whenever I think about menstruating, pregnancy, or even having a uterus, I have a lot of anxiety. I'm not in a lot of physical discomfort, but I cannot stand them, emotionally. If I thought that any doctor would perform a hysterectomy on a healthy, 22 year old uterus, I would do it. But that's not an option. So I was wondering if an OB/GYN would prescribe a BC pill that reduces the number/eliminates periods entirely, like Amethyst. I do want it as a contraceptive, but most of my desire stems from the period thing.
My mom, who has endometriosis, told me that nobody would prescribe that kind of drug without a person being in a substantial amount of pain with every period. I just want to know if I have reason enough for a prescription. Thank you so, so much.
