What's your opinion on menstrual suppression with birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No period is OK: Women with no period for an unknown reason is a problem and needs investigation. There is no reason that women on 'the pill' must have a period every month. If you use the pill continously, not allowing menses, 'breakthrough' bleeding may occur. If the bleeding is significant, stop the pill for a few days, allow your period, then resume. Over time, you might get lucky and suppress all bleeding.
