A member asked:
I have been taking pop (bf) for 1.5 years skipping placebo same time everyday. i still get irregular periods. could it be hindered by obesity?

Progesterone pills: You are taking Progesterone only birth control pills and using them continuously. Doing that one would not expect to have regular periods. This method of contraception suppresses the cycle although breakthrough bleeding can occur. If you are wanting to regulate the cycle then other methods may be better
