A member asked:
If the contraceptive pill gives you a 'fake period', does the blood still come from the uterus? how does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is still considered a menstrual cycle. The hormones in the contraceptive pill act in a way similar to what happens in a natural spontaneous cycle
