If you had the option to skip your menstrual cycle would you?

I went to my doctor last February and she told me the same.  I chose to continue having my period for that fact that it is comforting to know that I am not pregnant.  For some, that is not an issue, and which in that case i would take advantage of the offer.

Yes ...it should hold off your next period. It is not uncommon for females to use this to abstain from having a monthly.My gyn said that there is no harm in this practice ...but that once in a while you should allow yourself to have a cycle.

I know that getting on the pill is something you don't want to do, but it would be best.  Not having your period for that long of a time can cause serious problems.  If nothing else, your doc should put you on a hormone to force you to have a period once every three months.  This is only a ten day hormone treatment and is not like the BCP.

Birth control pills, or your menstrual cycle.

they cant force you to take it.  but if youre not sexually active, BC can help regulate heavy or irregular periods, and may help with acne

if you're not pregnant, you should go get a check up.  they will probably run some blood work and possibly put you on birth control.  its not normal to go with out your period.

yeah, if you're taking birth control pills (not the sugar pills they give you for the week that you're supposed to have your period) you should skip your period.  My doctor told me it was safe to skip your period once in a while if you have a special occation like a vacation or wedding or something where you dont want your period, but it's not safe to skip your period often.

If you are on no form of BC pills then no. There is nothing that I am aware of that you can do to naturally prolong the onset of your period. \n\nThe body will just take care of itself in it's own sweet time and schedule.

I would use some kind of birth control right away, I had a friend who had a second kid after she went off depro, she told me she hadn't got her periods yet so she thought she was safe.

of course it's possible. having regular periods doesn't necessarily mean that you are excluded of not being sterile(not capable of having a child)

It could because you're just starting. When I started, I missed a lot. Even now my mother can go for months without getting her period. Other things need to be taken into consideration though; are you very active or not eating enough? Anorexia or low muscle mass due to playing sports and exercising will cause amenorrhea, which stops your period in an effort to conserve energy for your body. If either of those is true, then that may be a problem that could lead to infertility later in life. If not though, then it's probably just because you're still young.

yep. birth control throws off the menstral cycle and it can be irregular for several months.

Lots of women are interested in keeping track of their cycles and it is really a GOOD thing to do.. over time.  I was always taught that I was supposed to pull up my dates from years ago to current.  They show trends and stuff.. and menstrual cycle is a very important part of a woman's health history.  :)

While I was waiting for the doctors to find out what happened. I would learn how to write my name in the snow.  I would measure it against others.  I guess I would be kind of gay because I really like guys.  Maybe that would all change.  I would say woo hoo because I don't have a period anymore.  I would pick a couple of fights unless I turned into a wimpy man.  I would see if I can last 24 hrs with out a shower(lol).

it would show up because your hcg level would be readable by now.  i would say your having a really bad period sorry that sucks, but its better than the alternative.
