Healthy?

[angeleyes-05.livejournal.com]

I heard about this on the news tonight. It really doesn't seem to be healthy. I mean, if I was getting married, and knew I'd have my period on my wedding night, then yeah I'd take it. But only for that sole reason...probably not all year around because that just can't be good for you. The lining of the uterus needs to be shed and I don't think things should be done to counteract that process. But you know, that's just me.

a lot of women on BC already skip the placebos for 2 or 3mths in a row. according to research, it is healthier for you, it can help prevent cervical cancer and hold of early menopause. personally, I find it freaky not having my period every month unless I'm pregnant. I think this new pill is aimed at the women who skip their placebos already.

I don't know, it just seems so odd. Not normal I guess is what I'm aiming at. Maybe eventually, I'll try it but I'm still a bit weary about the whole thing.

I've been skipping the placebos in mine for two or three months already. Four periods per year are more than enough.
