    And that's why I'm so glad I don't get one anymore. Having an edometrial ablation was the best thing I ever did.

    Old guy here so I obviously have no idea what they're like but I'd say you might be grateful for them since it means your body is operating correctly and you're not pregnant. I was thrilled in my younger days when my partners had theirs because of the no offspring factor (seeing that no birth control except surgery is 100% effective).

    It's better than the alternative.

    I can't spend time hating something that happens naturally.

    Probably 90% of women who get their periods feel this way.

    Ugh, I hate them so. I just got my first one in over a year (had a baby). Honestly, I would rather be pregnant.

    I don't know a single person who doesn't hate it. I know women who use medication to avoid it. I know women who can't wait until menopause. Perhaps some women welcome it just for the reassurance that they are not pregnant, but the relief is gone by the second trip to the bathroom.

    I feel like I eat too much I need to work out more to make sure I don't gain a *kitten* ton of weight

    I'd be fine if I lose my period for life. I don't care that's how much I hate it

    After tracking my hunger/intake/symptoms for a few months I find that I have a day where I just binge. I think I'm officially just going to let myself do it for now on. I can't fight it anymore. The best I can do is be ready for it with less calorie dense foods around that I love. A gallon of ice cream is not safe.

    You can use birth control pills to not get your period.

    My period feels like my own body is trying to kill me (endometriosis for the win!), so, yeah, pretty safe to say I hate throwing up, ****ing my insides out, and literally screaming into pillows because it feels like a tiny raptor is trying to chew its way out of my hoo-hah.

    Solution: Finally went to a doctor that wasn't all "lol, it's all part of being a woman!" and now no longer have my period. Best decision I have ever made. I'm no longer in pain every month, I simply continue taking my birth control as normally during the placebo pack (both my GYN and endocrinologist okayed it), I have more energy, and best of all, uninterrupted GAINZ.

    I use the nuvaring for birth control and, on my doctor's advice, keep it in on a 4-week cycle so I don't get a period. It makes my life SO much easier! You should talk to your doc about it!

    They're completely unnecessary. I have a Mirena and havent had a period in 7 years.

    I recently started taking birth control pills that cause me to only have 4 periods a year. Wish I would have done this years ago! If birth control is part of your life, I would seriously consider discussing this with your doctor.

    Talk to your GYN. Ask him or her about skipping. What type of BC are you on?

    I don't mind it. I stay steady the week before auntie flow and the week of auntie flow then it all comes dropping and surpriseeee I'm at a weight loss I didn't think I would be. I got to admit though it is discouraging looking at the scale while on period.

    It is hard...but remind yourself of goals and if you indulge just stay within your calorie goal...

    NEEDLESS TO SAYYY...I am one to cave in but staying well within my calorie goal.

    Why would I skip birth control? I don't want to get knocked up I'm on 21

    I actually didn't know you could do that! I used it in college and never saw that info on the package.

    Ok. But you don't know that the pill can be used to not get your period?

    Pretty sure she meant skipping your period.

    Call me crazy but I don't hate mine.

    I used to because the pain I got was unbearable. Now, no cramps, no pain, nothing! It is surprising how much cloth pads and a menstrual cup changes things. I don't find I have more cravings or anything either.

    I am in menopause now, thank God. I do NOT miss my period at all.

    Ugh I'm sorry. I used to have so much pain and trouble that I was shocked when I found out I DIDN'T have endometriosis.

    Ha! Yes. This is why I have grown to like them.

    Also, my appetite decreases greatly about 2 minutes after starting so for me it's a good time to start cutting calories.

    I meant skipping your period. Instead of taking the placebo pills (which would give you withdrawl bleeding, not even a "real" period), just continue onto the next pack as you normally would after the period.
