I skipped my period for 15 years (just skipped the placebo pills in my birth control pack). There’s NO medical reason to have ur period every month!

Skipping ur period w/ birth control is actually healthier than having it!! I wish more women knew this. #periodsoptional https://twitter.com/drjengunter/status/1253162000013619200
Some bloodsucking insurance companies will try to limit how many birth control packs u can get at a time (SO fucked up and another reason birth control should be over the counter)
So I’ve always just lied and said I’ve lost my last pack or asked my doc for free extra packs they usually get them from the drug companies and will have some extras on hand at the office to give out. #periodsoptional
Blocking any man who comes in here like “but women HAVE to have periods every month” actually no they don’t and u can fuck off eternally
Also @DrJenGunter is doing the lords work. Thank you for this information and helping ppl understand why skipping ur period is a totally safe and healthy option https://twitter.com/drjengunter/status/1253178023618248704?s=21 https://twitter.com/drjengunter/status/1253178023618248704
Muting this thread b/c it’s late but just wanted to say obviously everyone’s body is different and pills, IUDs, etc affect ppl in diff ways. Only u know what’s right for u. But I wish more women/men/anyone with a uterus knew that skipping periods can be an option #periodsoptional
