No Periods, Less Periods
Period suppression is currently a very hot topic. Will you (or do you already) take prescription meds to stop your period, or to have less periods a year? Why or why not?

You use tylenol for a headache why not for your period...

I have had trouble with my periods all my life. They have gotten heavier since having children. I have very bad pmdd and have since realized that I should not have to deal with this. I have been on almost every birth control possible. I have had an IUD and it didn't work either. I have tried the menstrual cup and other alternative menstral protection with no sucess. My periods are so heavy that i have to use an adult diaper at night otherwise I will not make it till morning. COMPLETE MISERY! I have been on the birth control pill that you just skip the placebo pills and keep taking and it was pretty good, however, with the other problems i was having i had a lot of break through bleeding. I have now started taking a mood stabilizing anti-depressant for my pmdd, which helps some and I am getting the endometrial ablation. I am excited to get this managed! We manage our headaches with tylenol, depression with anti-depressants, and men even get to manage their libido with viagra... Why don't we deserve relief. Why suck it up and suffer if we don't have to. If you're in pain you go to the cabinet and get medicine. As long as it is proved safe... what are you waiting for! Do some research yourself.
