period pills., isnt that scary? Options

[pandamonium]

i watch those commercials where you take this pill once a day for 3 months and its a lot of pills so when you stop taking them you get your period. [EDIT the pill is called Seasonale]. doesnt that sound really irregular? i mean isnt that scary. do any of you girls take it?

it just seems so weird to me like stopping nature. to me its like stopping time. but my friend said she never will take it because she is scared that when her period does come if she takes it she will bleed too much? do you think that would happen?

so do you girls take it? and do you know anything else about it?

I don't see such a huge problem with it. I know a few people who take them to regulate their period...*shrugs*. And isn't it...when you take the pills, your get your period 4 times a year? Or 3 times? I don't knooow.

If my scheduled period gets in the way of some big event, I might take those pills. It's just a convenience.

acutally you get your period every month... like you said to regulate your period... my doctor is thinking of me to take the pill because my period only comes a few times a month

no, because i bet they have a ton of really bad side effects. like gaining 30 pounds, growing a mustache, etc.

growing a mustache is due to high levels of testosterone... the pill doesnt increase testoterone levels...

Uh. Yeah. I know you get your period every month.

I said the pills cut down the number of periods you get each year.
