Thinking about using birth control to suppress periods

As the title says… I’m thinking of trying this option rather than HRT. I just cannot seem to find the right dose. I’ll feel good for about a month or two and then right back to square one. Worst symptoms are bloating and weight gain. I had blood work to rule out any other issues. My periods are all over the place… some cycles last 78 days and others 22 days, 40 days, 33 days, a few have been 14 days 🤷‍♀️ Which has me wondering if I’m better off suppressing them until they end.
