Nope. Not interested.
I’m regular (to the hour) and I like knowing everything is functioning correctly.
This doesn’t imply that I’ll miss it when it decides to leave on its own, however.
If you want to eliminate your period, all you have to do is become an Olympic-level gymnast.
Nope, wouldn’t do it. Despite the fact that I’ve spent the last few days dealing with cramps, bloating, and general grouchiness(ok, so I would have quit my job monday morning if anyone had said so much as hello to me). It’s reassuring to have it-for health reasons, to know that you aren’t pregnant, all that stuff.
I’m another of the highly irregular people(have skipped it for months at a time, things like that), and with my recent PCOS diagnosis, the fact that I’ve now had it 2 months in a row makes me feel that the doc is doing something right.

“I think we have to disabuse health professionals and women of the idea that monthly menstruation is natural, normal and healthy,” said University of North Carolina gynecology professor David Grimes, in the sort of calm and explanatory voice you use when telling your children to brush.
fuck you david grimes, fuck you and the horse you rode in on! i do not like my period, but is is absolutely none of your concern how many times a year i menstruate.
you can take that pill, or the shot, and choke on them!
btw, i can be nasty, and mouthy any time i want, and it will not have a damn thing to do with my menses!
and a pill will not cure every ill in the world , so i suggest you remeber that while you review you hippocratic oath, you condescending asshole.
Well then. I had a horrific experience when I stopped taking the Depo Provera shot. I had a heavy period for a month straight. The doctor put me on the pill to make it stop. Ever since then, whether on the pill or not, my periods are intolerable. I mean missing work, pain that makes you sweat, in tears curled around a hot water bottle kind of intolerable. This month I am going to skip the week of placebo pills and start week 1 of next month instead. I’m sick of my period. It turns a quarter of my life into a sweaty, bloody, painful mess. There was a great article about the birth control pill and menstruation in the New Yorker a few weeks ago. I don’t remember the exact issue, but it made me stop and think. I’m going to try it this month and will get back to you with the results.
