No Periods, Less Periods
Period suppression is currently a very hot topic. Will you (or do you already) take prescription meds to stop your period, or to have less periods a year? Why or why not?

It depends...

I am 25 years old. I was on bc pills for about 6 years. I stopped taking them in Jan. of this year. I have been asking people to see how they reacted when they went off the pill. I was taking the pill to not only regulate my period, but for the cramps. I am TTC, but I have only had about 6 periods so far this year...what a pain. I mean, having your period is a pain in itself, but I was actually having a period when on the pill, now it just seemed to stop. It's been about 2 months since I've had a period and will be taking a test tomorrow. I think the scary thing is if it says negative, then what... I have never had a pap test come back bad, so I think that I'm a little scared to go to the doctor. I think that bc pills are a good thing to help women regulate their periods, but pro-longed use of them might create problems. I think that a female should have a period every month to flush out their bodies. I don't agree with the shot or any other method to have less periods. I'm in a dilema as it is just taking the pill...look I want to have a baby and now, I don't think I will without having to take other forms of pills or whatever to help me ovulate. Let's just hope the test tomorrow will come back positive, so I can stop worrying!! Let me know what you think...
