"Periods are unnecessary blood loss." Amen sister! Until I was finally given a pill to stop my periods indefinitely, I was severely anemic. Not anymore! I haven't had a period now going on 5+ years. Haven't had any complications from this either. From my very first period it was irregular and too painful to even move. I sure don't miss it..

[@PandiaHealth]

Xiomara, please tell your mother to talk to your doctor. If you are bleeding through everything, then that is too much blood. Tell her that you need to be checked for anemia and a bleeding disorder. The most common bleeding disorder is von willebrand disease. These answers are for general informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always seek the advice of your doctor/primary care provider before starting or changing treatment.

[@xio5003]

Pandia Health , my mom is actually gonna make an appointment tomorrow because there are a few different things I need to talk to her about including this. I have symptoms of anemia but didn’t know about the bleeding disorder. I will definitely mention it. Thank you so much.

Love Bug hi! yes everything is much better. Turned out i was slightly anemic and my uterine lining was too thick(that’s what caused the cramps and heavy bleeding.) My mom agreed to the birth control and I was also put on iron pills. I’m no longer anemic and am still on the birth control. My cycles are no longer as heavy and painful as they used to be. Life is sooo much easier. I want to get off of the pill because of weight gain and all the hormones but my cycles may go back to how they used to be if i do and my doctor said i should wait until i’m ready to have a child to get off it.

i started my period 4 years ago, before the blood came out i had this tissue blocking my coochie that wouldn’t allow the blood to flow (i didn’t know at the time) so I was suffering from cramps for about a week or two, had to skip school, vomiting, and I literally couldn’t eat anything cause it would make me nauseous, my parents and I went to about 3 doctors to find out the issue and the last doctor examined my coochie and find out it was a tissue blocking the flow. i stayed in the hospital overnight and I had to get surgery to remove the tissue. the annoying part is that my mom and health teacher barely educated me on periods, I find out from my friends when I was like 11 from a fucking movie, I also asked my mom if it hurts and she told me “no” then months later I start experiencing cramps in my stomach, back, AND MY COOCHIE TF. but anyways what’s the point of me having a period if I have no interest in kids at all? waste of money and time, pain and uncomfortableness for something that I don’t even want

I have been trying to skip my period with birth control for almost six months and the breakthrough bleeding happens every month. It seems like my body wants to have a period regardless, even if I do let it have a full bleed to reset it like she suggested. Ugh. I have been having breakthrough bleeding for three weeks. I’m just going to take it like normal because at least my regular periods only last for 4-5 days instead of 3 weeks. Trying to skip it has been awful.

[@PandiaHealth]

Sorry to hear about that. Sometimes some people need a DIFFERENT progesterone. You could try desogestrel or drosperinone, those are pretty good. But you could also just give up. Or try the IUD with hormone, implant or shot.

[@esqrachel]

​@@PandiaHealth Wow, thank you for the reply! I have been letting my body have a bleed after taking three weeks of active pills. I come off the birth control after the three weeks, and then take 5 placebo pills and start active pills again on day 6. This at least seems to shorten my period to 3-4 days and doesn't cause the breakthrough bleeding. I may try a different progesterone at some point like you recommended, but for now this is OK.

They just switched me to another birth control that made my "breakthrough bleeding" even heavier! Is this just a money-grabbing game to them? Well it's not to me. This is my life.

I went to my doctor today to ask about period suppression pills and she said pills like BC wouldn't stop my period and there wasn't a pill to do that. I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm worried because I don't know if she just somehow hasn't kept up with the medicine out there of if she just doesn't want me to have it. We're both Arab and she's Muslim and my mother insisted on being there and she insanely conservative and traditional and hates menstrual suppression. I don't know if she just said this to make my mom and her traditional views happy. I just want to know the truth and I feel so stressed and so hopeless like I can't turn to anyone!

[@hotcupnoodle2281]

It’s possible to not have a period with bc pills. You do have breakthrough bleeding like she said though. I switched to the depo shot instead cause the only reason I got on BC was my painful periods.

I started a birth control pill in April due to irregular periods, heavy flow, and cramps that stopped everyday activities at age 14 (happened since 6th grade). I wasn’t told the bad side effects of the pill. He said it wouldn’t make me gain weight, I gained 20 pounds. He never told me I would bleed hard and have bad cramps everyday. So I went back in recently, and he said that my last option would be to take depo. He also told me to stop taking the pill, which has been a HORRIBLE last few days. After reading up on depo is this a safe option for me? Or will I have to deal with the pain of periods forever?

Hi! You take the pills until you want to have a “period.” When you want to have a period (aka withdrawal bleed), come off the medications and on day 2 or 3 off the meds, you will bleed. Then restart the medication on day 5 or 6 off the medication. Please keep in mind these suggestions are not a substitute for medical advice that you would get from your own doctor.

Hi Rami, You should talk to your doctor to figure out which pill would be optimal for you. For Dr. Yen, she figures this out by having her patients fill out an online health questionnaire. She needs to know things like blood pressure, weight, weight, medical history, etc. Without knowing that information, we cannot recommend a pill for you. Also, we only serve California residents so even if you were able to fill it out on our website, we wouldn't be able to serve you since you're in India.

There is always the risk of blood clots if you have a blood clotting disorder or if you are a smoker and 35 or older.

[@gruhot18]

So when you have the breakthrough bleeding, do you resume the same pack after the no-pill days or start a new pack?

[@PandiaHealth]

If you are on a monophasic pill where you have 3 weeks 1 color, you can just continue on your same pack.

[@nikkiebaker1277]

Does birth control pills affect thyroid function or levels? Like if you have hashimoto's or graves disease

[@PandiaHealth]

Not that we know of. However it might be good if you have one of those issues, to SKIP the bleed because then your hormone levels from the pills are stable vs. falling off every 3 weeks.

Can I skip my period if I have von Willebrand's? I've been on the ring for 10 years and my doctor suggested to take magnesium pills daily and replace the ring every 3 weeks. The last 3 years on the ring I've had sharp stomach pains and intense migranes.

[@PandiaHealth]

Desiree, If you have migraines with aura (visual symptoms, etc), you should talk to your doctor about CHANGING medications. You can skip the period if you have Von Willebrand’s and in fact we HIGHLY recommend it! Note: These answers are not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Lucky for me I only have two placebo days per month and mine is linked to a 90% drop in bleeding, so I may not have a period at all soon :D I will only skip those two pills if my hypermobility flares up without oestrogen, my symptoms are entirely tied to high luteal relaxin and possibly low oestrogen.

[@helenchen1087]

I have just started skipping periods with birth control before I just take it normally and for the first time I skipped a week later I started have brown discharge bleeding and it went on for almost 3 weeks. I decided to stop taking the pills and I started to immediately slightly bleed. It’s a combination of brown discharge with light red blood and a bit watery with mucus? Is that a sign of pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test and it was negative.

[@catherinenelson7248]

I skipped my period for the first time two weeks ago and i believe i’m having breakthrough bleeding. it’s like i’m on my period but it’s brown. it’s been happening for a few days and i’ve been taking the hormone pills everyday. I don’t understand why this is happening so early. So many things i’ve seen or read has said that the breakthrough bleeding will happen in about 3 months, but it’s happening in 2 weeks. Do i stop taking the hormone pills and let it happen? I’m not getting answers looking it up please help me!

[@PandiaHealth]

Yeah. You should stop and have a bleed and re-start on day 6 off the medication whether or not you are bleeding. Some women’s hormones are just stronger than others and you may need a stronger medicine to take over your periods to skip 3 months.

[@birte0]

My doctor told me that I can only qualify for a Progesterone only pills and that I won't be able to skip my period with them, is that correct? Are there any options??

[@ebonylovely4996]

I have a question but I don’t want to seem like I’m telling others to think this way but here it goes.... I don’t want kids at all and I’m never going to change my mind on that stance, is there a way I can stop my period forever?

[@annemoncomte8620]

Hello, I've heard that higher levels of the hormones in these pills can increase the risk of some types of cancer (such as breast cancer)? (Different sites literally say different things). Is there any non-hormone birth control pills (not sure if that's even possible ;-;) or any other safe pills/shots that you recommend? Please (anyone with information) respond because I genuinely hate my period more than anyone on the planet; I just wouldn't be willing to risk cancer for this.

[@jordanbruce4065]

I don't want to skip my period every month, I just want to skip one due to a vacation I'll be going on. After skipping the sugar pills and moving onto the next pack should I just proceed as I would usually and finish the next pack completely?

[@PandiaHealth]

Yes. Just proceed and finish the next pack and you will be back on bleeding schedule.

🔴Help required 🔴I’m 22 and I get it every 18-21 days for 7 days. I never wanna get it again. I was seriously thinking of getting rid of my eggs or the whole thing in general through surgery since I was in middle school, but if there’s a less expensive alternative I’ll surely take it. My question is what kind of pill should I take and for how long? Does the period that comes after 3 months “breakthrough bleeding” hurt? Cuz my regular period hurts so much I sometimes skip uni and life too.. if u have any answers please comment below I could REALLY use the help.

[@kheanaartis3866]

I’ve never been on the pill before, but would possibly like to start to skip my period that’s supposed to come during my vacation next month. How/ when should I start taking the pills?

[@PandiaHealth]

we recommend starting the pill on the 3rd-5th day of your bleed. However if that isn't going to happen before your vacation, then there are other pills you can take to stop bleeding for the vacation, though they might have side effects Talk to your doctor/provider.

[@houyen4585]

Hi doctor. I'm on the pill for over 1 month and got breakthrough bleeding for over a week, it's just a little but still, so can you tell me what should i do to stop bleeding :((

[@LaydeeGreenz]

I'm on the 28 day Progesterone only brand Micronor...can I still manipulate my cycle?

[@PandiaHealth]

No. With progesterone only pills - your body decides when and how often you have bleeds.

[@suneblommie4549]

Can I use the ring to lengthen my cycle instead of skipping my period? For example can I keep the ring in for 25 days instead of 21... Then have my ring free week then start the new ring?

[@PandiaHealth]

Yes. the ring has 35 days of medication. When you take it out for 3 to 5 days, you will have a bleed and then you can start a new ring after 5 days off the ring, whether or not you are still bleeding, if you want to be protected against pregnancy.

[@a1credit860]

Are there any negative factors to not having/skipping your period via NuvaRing?

[@PandiaHealth]

There is a slight increase risk of breast cancer but that risk is probably outweighed by the decrease risk of endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.

I have been skipping my period for 4 months now, without breakthrough bleeding. Should I let myself have a period once in a while, or can I skip indefinitely? Thank you!

[@PandiaHealth]

Hi Leslie, You can skip indefinitely. Dr. Yen said that her ob/gyn professor said, "The Natural State of a woman is pregnant. How many periods does a pregnant woman have? None."

Hello,can u talk about pmsdd....thank you.your videos are the best...

[@PandiaHealth]

Thank you! We're happy to hear that you like our videos! Mainly Dr. Yen suggests skipping PMSDD by skipping your periods. If you have PMSDD then you can treat according to symptom - pain = treat with ibuprofen up to 600 mg three times a day WITH food for up to 5 days. Depression- talk to your doctor, they may prescribe an antidepressant, you could also try eating more turkey which has tryptophan which is a precursor to serotonin which makes people happy. These are suggestions only and not a substitute for professional medical advice that you would get from your own doctor.

This happened to me in June. I rlly hate it when the cycle comes on It’s supposed to come on when ur older not young!!!!! (In my opinion) Mine actually started on June this year

[@natura6911]

I've read at different places that you actually can skip your period on the patch, so can or can't you? or is it just a matter of the blood clot risk?

[@PandiaHealth]

You can skip your period on the patch but it is NOT recommended that you do it for more than 12 weeks in a row because of the risk of blood clot. If you were my patient, I would NOT recommend it. You don’t want to risk a blood clot that could result in stroke or death. These answers are not a substitute for professional medical advice.

[@gh0st3176]

​@PandiaHealth but what if it is only a "1 time thing", like only missing your periods 1 time and then continuing as normal, will it be as dangerous for blood clots as continued/prolonged "period skipping"?

[@EightTwentyTwo]

I’ve been on the pill for over a year now and in the beginning it seemed like I would get my period about every 2 months, now it seems I’m getting it every month or month and a half. When I see spotting, I would let myself bleed for a few days then start the active pills again. I’ve been lightly spotting for about 7 days now (just brown smears on the toilet paper when I wipe). With this very light spotting, should I continue taking the pill or let myself bleed? Why does my period seem to be coming back? I think I’ve gone 3 months the most without a period.

[@PandiaHealth]

each woman is different. And you might have “strong internal hormones” that have to be overridden by the pill. So you might need a stronger medication. If the brown smears, you could try taking ibuprofen 600 mg, three times a day WITH food for up to 5 days to see if that stops it. Otherwise, do come off, for 5 days, have a bleed, and restart on day 6 whether or not you are still bleeding. And talk to your doctor about going on a stronger medication or one with a stronger progestin effect.

Hey doc Im a 26 years old transgender FTM，currently Im not using testosterone，just had my keyhole top surgery，I want to use birth control pill to skip period but worry about the side effects of breast growth，because birth control pill is packed with female hormone. Will it causes my breast to grow back or makes me look more feminine, if not what kinds of pill would you recommend? Thanks

[@PandiaHealth]

You want to avoid anything with estrogen. You could try the IUD with hormone which stops periods in 70% of those with uteri. Or you could try the progesterone only pill.

I've been talking about birth control with my mom but I'm only 15 and i'm not sure how it would effect my body. Also will this effect my ability to have kids if I take it at such a young age? And the breakthrough bleeding, is it just a regular period or is it much bigger and more painful because it's been held in for so long?

Hlw dr thnx for information n if stop period permanently wht's the problem coming to our health didn't effect badly to body plz dr wht's the gud 1 .

[@PandiaHealth]

Sonam, if you stop your periods with the birth control pill or ring, the main risks are blood clots if you are 35 years or older AND a smoker and a slight theoretical small risk of breast cancer which goes to zero once you come off the birth control for 5 years.

[@RoseyRose20]
