I remember reading some study something like 10 years ago that was talking about how many adult females were becoming anemic in their 30's - 50's because of not getting pregnant and having regular periods for their entire lives.
One of the discussions in the study was that if a woman on the pill took the pill every day and didn't do the week of placebos, then she would have little to no period at all for as long as she was on it.
Unfortunately for me, the pill does terrible things to my mood, so I never tried that.

FWIW, I used to know gals in the Army who would do that for when they were going to the field. I've no idea how safe it is or isn't, of course. But they didn't die of it that I know of.
I imagine that taking just the pills and not the placebos would also help with the emotional/mood thing, assuming it's linked to your hormones (seems to be, for most women). In that if you never stopped taking them, your hormones would stay regulated at that level...
Again, no idea if that would be a good thing or not though."Joi's CEO is about as sneaky and subtle as a two year old on crack driving an air craft carrier down Broadway." - Broomjockey

I feel so incredibly lucky after reading what some of you girls go through every month! *shudders* I can't imagine going through those extremes every month!

Quoth Seshat View PostThe third kind: brings an empty pack from home and tries to match it; or has the exact brand and name written down on a piece of paper. (My husband.)
I pity him if the brand changes its packaging or names - but at least he'd have the old packaging and name to show the first female he finds on the sales floor!

Once again, a thread here has proven educational. A bit disturbing, (20-year old male here), but educational.

Quoth Custard Chick View PostThen again, I have a fairly ideal period - next to no cramping, very light (I can wear a regular tampon for 5 hours or so with virtually no issues/leaking), and only lasts 2-3 days. I have moderate PMS the week before, but it's more just me being more prone to crying and getting annoyed much more easily.
I do get grumpy when I'm bleeding, but that's usually due to my back aching from the bloating. My mother has lower back pain issues, and ever since I flipped my bug and hurt my lower back, I've had some minor problems of my own.

I like some of these creative terms to describe that time of the month. I swear sometimes I am so looking forward to menopause. These two week cycles and horrible mood swings are for the birds. It seems like I go from being fairly upbeat to feeling homicidal at the drop of a hat. Either that or I'll burst into tears for no good reason. I guess it's a good thing I don't have much direct customer contact since I'd probably end up getting fired because my brain to mouth filter always malfunctions during that time of the month.Question authority, but raise your hand first. -Alan M.

Quoth Blade View PostWow, I'm sort of surprised at this point that no one has mentioned the extra fun of taking a wicked shit *while* plopping out uterine lining!

You women do have it tough in the hormonal area, but I am also on HRT so guys can have problems too."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostMy wife went on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when she reached menopause. A friend told her that she wasn't going to do HRT when she reached menopause because she wanted to be natural, like her ancestors were. My wife explained to her that most of her ancestors were dead before reaching menopause, so there was no need for HRT. That remark caused the friend to re-evaluate her position.
