Thread: Decided to skip period with BC...

Do you remember if you had these symptoms when you first started birth control?

It could be that your body is just a little unprepared to the extra hormones and is trying to adjust/figure out what's going on.

I know a lot of women skip their periods, but I think it's a good idea to have them (especially if they're not too heavy). It's just nice to see a reminder every month that no in fact you are not pregnant, I think.

As for convenience, you can invest in some heavier tampons/pads... And if it's for sex, you can use a menstrual cup and it'll be like you're not on your period at all!
