I tried taking the pill continuously for a few months a while back, but I stopped since I was getting unpredictable breakthrough bleeding. Maybe I just didn't stick with it long enough? I'll have to consult my doctor again.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-44102021651408073782018-05-31T07:36:39.449-07:002018-05-31T07:36:39.449-07:00I do take hormonal birth control.

A while back, I tried taking it continuously for a few months, but my period has always been irregular and rather heavy, so I was experiencing lots of breakthrough bleeding. It was super annoying, because it was so unpredictable, and I decided that was worse than just getting a regular period! Maybe I should try it again after talking to my doctor.Engineer Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469282997983032376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-62545094993913576562018-05-30T15:01:25.023-07:002018-05-30T15:01:25.023-07:00That Secret to Love article is great.

The research findings make a lot of sense to me. <br /><br />I don't get a period after taking the same pill for years now. I originally got bleeding between packs for the first several years, but about three years ago it stopped. As far as I can tell from consulting doctors in the meantime, that just happens sometimes with long-term use of the pill. I didn't do anything special to cause it, beyond just taking the pill as directed. It's a lot more convenient!Xin @ Invincible Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880478894796779040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429381541485535750.post-64889183795104758132018-05-29T20:05:13.543-07:002018-05-29T20:05:13.543-07:00I have been taking my birth control (microgestin, ...I have been taking my birth control (microgestin, an old and well-studied second-generation pill) semi-continuously for years now. I take a break every 3 months or so, because otherwise I start getting breakthrough spotting that is more annoying than the light mini-period which can be scheduled with a week off. I was never a super heavy bleeder, but I went from regular/super tampons and a 7-day cycle to light/regular tampons and a 4-day cycle (which only happens 4 times a year!).<br /><br />If you're already taking hormonal birth control, I encourage you to try taking it continuously (maybe check with your doctor first, and make sure it's a "monophasic" type where all of the pills are identical) to skip periods.Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.com
