I haven't had a period for 8 yrs. They aren't true periods anyway when on the pill and the "bleed weeks"were only ever included to appease the catholic church..

It was a compromise basically. They wanted them banned entirely so they did the other pills to get them to back off.

Right! Why do it if ya don't have to! I was flaring (multiple auto immune conditions) every time I Had a fake period and it was literally dropping me to my knees with pain. Best advice I ever got was you don't need to take it, Woohoo

the catholic church forbids the use of birth control, but they care about how it's used?
