The replies on this make me so sad bc there are actually quite a few healthcare-approved ways to manage both these symptoms and the number of periods you have in a year and I don’t think anyone in this thread has been told that at all. https://twitter.com/c0urtneyracquel/status/1283015669466963970

Like I guarantee you, if I had looked at the data anytime sooner on how easy and safe it is to just Not have my period every month, I would have been stopping them YEARS ago.

The "period" you have on BC isn't even the same thing as having an actual menstrual cycle and that was never once mentioned in my sex ed classes and that's SUCH bullshit. How do we get away with not actually teaching anyone about their bodies???
