FDA approves first pill meant to end periods - Women's Health - MSNBC.com

(side affect, double the crabbiness) just kidding, but wouldnt that suck!

Most OB/Gyn's will tell you that you only need your period 4 times a year and to continue on birth control constantly and only take the placebo 4 times a year for a week.

I would so love to have this pill!

sweet

Can it seriously be healthy to stop your period completely? Doesn't the uterun lining start to build up over time? Or does the pill stop the entire process?

 

[Boomer]

Doesn't sound healthy to me. Sounds like one of those medications you will be sueing people over when you get older.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

it is the same concept as the shot...i didnt have a period for over a year and it was great, but VERY rarely is it "great" for most women. There are some MAJOR side effects...it COULD be great for you, but chances are it wont be. I got lucky! The 2nd time I tried getting on the shot I had EVERY side effect in the book...and some pretty gross ones too One that is even permanent that I am way too embarrassed to talk about

 

[Boomer]

I dont think its smart to tamper so much with nature. There are reasons why the human body was designed to do these things.

 

[GraceAbounds]

Ok, so I got some new birth control pills today. I opted for the ones that you only have 4 periods a year.

I think I agree about it not being healthy to NEVER have one.

4 is better than 12, so I'm happy.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

birth control medication, all of it, i think sucks! but thats mostly because ive had horrible horrible side effects with everything at least once. I use natural forms, which are just as effective. Get to know the mucus method if you dont already!

 

[GraceAbounds]

Ok girl, that just sounds gross. LOL!

 

[Boomer]

I do not wanna fuckin know.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

its really not gross...well not if you dont mind touching your own juice lol.

it is 98% effective if you do it correctly. Doing it correctly is the trick though!

 

[Boomer]

That...is fucking...raunch.

 

[drb]

i use an IUD. freaking love it, thoughtless birth control for 10 years and doesn't hormonally effect yer body

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

alwyas wondered about those...what if you wanna have a baby within 10 years though?

 

[drb]

it works by changing the pH of yer uterus. pull it out and it takes about 2-4 weeks for your body to it's restore balance.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

pics? lol

 

[Tegan]

An IUD? Is that one of those rings they put up there?
