Control Over When I Get My Period With the Pill?! Posted: 09-27-04 09:09am
I stopped taking my pill for a month
because I was experiencing irregular
bleeding. I wanted to start it up again
after I got my next regular period, but I
was traveling for work and got back on a
tuesday, at the end of my period, and
didn't know if I could still start it that
day, being not a sunday and not the first
day of my period. Here I am half way
through my next cycle, without the pill
this month again, but I do not want my
period to come on my vacation in two weeks
and I think it is going to! Does anyone
know if I can start taking the pill, say
next week, if it will work in stopping my
period from coming???
You can if you wish forget about the 7
days off and start a new pack as soon as
the old pack is finished. Exp.You finish
the reg. Pills on sunday and are to start
your sugar pills or none and have the
seven days off, instead on monday start a
new pack.You might get some light bleeding
but will not be a regular period. You can
safely do this for 2 to 3 packs in a row.
I would do it in the summer and not have
one at all.

Did you know there is a higher risk of
ovarian cancer if you do that?

i have never heard that .Just wondering
where you got that info? The pill creates
a psuedo pregnancy making your body
beleive it is pregnant therefore not
releasing eggs. So how can missing a
period cause cancer in your ovaries. I
have friends on depo and have not had a
period for years

Well I herd that putting your body though
that much progesterone for numerous years
(when your body is obviously not meant to
do so). "can" being the operative word
here, lead to complications such as loss
of fertility and in rare cases cancers.
It's the same kind of thing with bottle
feeding instead of breast feeding. People
that don't use their body like they are
meant to and have unbalanced chemical
levels (like progesterone) are more likely
to get cancers than those who don't
interfere.
You can get cancerous organs from the
wrong use just as you can with no use.
Did it ever occur to you that your body is
used to and genetically programed to
release eggs once a month? And that
stopping this from occurring may have
implications on those organs and they way
they might work in the future?

There is a new birth control pill
available in the u.S. Called seasonale.It
suppresses your period for three months so
you only get 4 periods a year.It has been
proven safe and many female gyn's have
been doing this on their own for years
with no ill effects.If you suppress your
period occasionally,i don't think that's a
problem.You just need to remember that you
have done so and not freak out because you
did not get your period this month.Patty
