Any women using these new methods to eliminate periods?

I would think it would do damage to the reproductive organs or hormonal balance.

Huh?!

it's not that big of a deal. women have more period than they need. life moves on.

ummm hello?? taking hormones in and of itself alters your hormonal balance lol

when a woman is on the pill she does not have a full period anyway
if you take something like seasonale and have a partial bleed once every couple of months that seems to be accepted by the medical community as perfectly safe.

or if you're on depo-provera and don't get any periods.

emm said:

I did it for a while. My doctor even recommended it since I get quite depressed as part of PMS. This way, I'd only get it 4 times a year instead of every month.
But birth control bills don't work for me at all. They make me crazy. It sucks.,

The answer to all these things is obviously anal sex.

I tried that implant that goes in your arm
and bled most of the time
I had to take it out after 6 months
the contraceptive effect of it was it totally put me off sex thanks to all the goddamn blood

But first a day at the spa for anal bleaching is in order

When I first did the take 3 months of pills in a row thing it confused the hell out of my body. I was spotting for about 2 months. It was ridiculous.

I have not been on any kind of hormonal treatment for a few years now, and feel so much better - I am 2kg lighter off pill than on

i was reading about a new one where u dont get it at all.

sounds unnatural to me.

especially believing what these companies
claim...

ZombieKitten said:

If (when ) I am in a long term relationship again I think I'll try the ring. It localizes the hormones, so hopefully it won't make me crazy like every pill I've ever tried has. I'm still not sure I really like the idea of something just hanging out in my hoo-ha for that long, but I'm not a fan of condoms (though I use them unfailingly now) and most doctors won't do IUDs anymore and the risks associated with depo in older women don't sound good either.

origmnd said:

I guess I'd want to know how it works.

CarrieMpls said:

how does the ring work? is it invasive?

nuvaring.com

i'm going to inquire about it too

why did I click on this thread?

emm said:

thanks! will check it out!

ZombieKitten said:

A friend of mine was on it for a while. It's a ring you wear inside that slowly releases the hormones and you take it out after 3 weeks, wait a week, then put in a new one. It worked well for her.

ooh I want that! I cannot remember to take the pill

ZombieKitten said:

a friend of mine is on it and she loves it. using the pill made her crazy and she said that the ring is much better.

i can't use ti because i get migranes with focal halos or whatever those things are called. i'm using progesterone only pills (POPs) right now and i don't get my period anymore. it's a little freaky but it also simplifies my life quite a bit.

Imago said:

That's why God invented the ass.

maybe im weird but i don't mind getting my period. Sometimes I get bad cramps and nasty moods but it gives me the great excuse to be a bitch. Cause I can...cause I'm a woman and I got my period. Sometimes I feel hotter than usual, overly confident and insane. I love it the mood swings are great. And ladies...hope you are on your period when you find out ur husband or bf is cheating on you...because if you severely hurt him or dismember some body parts you wont get jail time... why? because your raging hormones made you lose your mind. I enjoy my period thank you very much.
