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.

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.
