Girls (or guys I suppose), I have a question.

No beachguy, your periods get lighter when you start taking the pill. Its recommended for girls with heavy or irregular bleeding.
If I come off my pill for a few months, all hell breaks loose and I end up just taking it constantly again.

Wow, SensiRide, I've been living with a girl for five years who has said that it's worse.

And you shouldn't stop taking it...it will screw up your cycles.

edit: Found this:

oral contraceptive
n.
A pill, typically containing estrogen or progesterone, that inhibits ovulation and thereby prevents conception. Also called birth control pill.

-----Seems like it promotes bleeding.

edit: I've been taking it for three years and everytime I get a cut, it heals really quick.

[beachguy in thongs]

Ok, SensiRide, she woke up, and told me that I'm wrong. Her's hasn't been worse.
She said there are some girls where the pill makes it lighter, and some girls where it's normal.

i wonder what would happen if a guy took birth control....

nothing would happen....except maybe getting ragged on by your friends..

Its cool, I'm not planning getting pregnant in the near future anyway lol but I hear what your saying

[beachguy in thongs]

Uh, Sensi, I was made aware that I was wrong.

Wow it never occured to me to not take that week break. I might do that. So it prevents you from having your period at all?

[slipknotpsycho]

i dunno if that would be all that healthy tho, seems to me that you're supposed to get rid of certain things if you don't get pregnant (hence the period)...i'm not a doctor, but i would guess your body needs to ATLEAST do that if you don't get pregnant... if i was a woman, even a if a doctor told me it was ok, i dunno if i'd trust them.

Yeah, as long as you keep taking it, you dont get one
Sliptnotpsycho - Ive checked with my doctor and she says its ok, your period doesnt build up or anything but its best to take a break off them once in a while, but its not doing any harm.

i thought about this
if you stopped yourself from having your period one month, if you had sex the next month and got pregnant... would you have two babies from the 2 eggs? they wouldnt be twins cuz theyre not from the same egg/sperm

BAM!

i think he's just on the "better safe than sorry" side of the spectrum...


i dont really blame him... even if something is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, there's always an "unknown variable" that can slip through...

BAM!

fraternal twins.
