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?

No Periods, Less Periods
To bleed or not to bleed?
To bleed or not to bleed? I definitely choose not to bleed. I just turned 21, and it may be hard to believe, but I'm still a virgin, and I plan on staying that way for a good, long, long time. I don't want children-ever- so why should I have to suffer through the terrible cramps and sore breasts that come a week before I start, and three days into it? My periods last 6 days- sometimes 7, and there are several times when I have it > twice < in one month. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with taking a pill or something to get rid of the "curse" as I choose to call it.

Don't let them stop your periods!
I totally agree, i would never take something that would take away my periods. Even though they are a pain; having a period is apart of being a woman. I am also afriad to take birth control, its just not natural! let your body produce it's hormones on it's own.

NO - wouldn't stop my period
I wouldn't take anything to stop my period even though I do have really bad cramps. We have our period for a reason. It's suppose to happen. I also know that when the time is right I want to have kids. I have a fear that if I take a pill or something and I'm taking it for a while that when the time comes and I stop taking it my period won't come and I won't be able to have kids.

Pill user....
I agree with the pill. I have been on the pill for 8 years. I had recently stopped for a few months after losing insurance. I remebered why I began them in the first place! My periods were at least a week long compared to 3 days and oh the cramps!!! I broke out bad everywhere!!! My back, chest, face, arms.... Even after 4 months of no b/c I couldn't control it. Not to mention the annoying interruption of finding a condom. And I didn't want to use a diaphram/cervical cap. I went back on them this month and even though I fear a little weight gain, It's worth it!

Let's face it - a menstrual period is a part of being a woman
I would not take prescription meds to stop my period b/c I was raised to believe that that time of the month is the time a woman's body cleanses itself. Personally, I feel that would be unsafe in the long run (no matter how good they make it sound) and unclean. I've come to accept my period for what it is, just another part of being a woman.

On pill for 6 years
I was on BC for 6 years, now that we are trying to conceive, I am finding it hard. We have been trying for 5 months now. My period is irregular, I get it sometimes twice a month. Doctors here are checking me out, because the BC should be out of my system by now because it was low dose. I regret being on it for so long, but I also miss all the good things about it. My cramps hurt more now than what they did before, acne in places I have never had it before. So I miss it in that respect.
