Current science on birth control pills w/out breaks?
Our teenage daughter has PMDD, as I did. It is severe enough that I'm interested in finding out, well, what if she didn't ovulate? At all. What is the current science of the safety of taking birth controls without breaks for adolescents? Her hormones are vicious, as were mine (I'm menopausal). [more inside]

Fiction with menstruation but not as a focus?

Hormonal cycle when on the pill?
I'm on Zoely, a single dose contraceptive pill that contains natural estrogen and a progestogen. I use it to suppress my hormone cycle, as that seems to help my anxiety.

thinking about changing birth control is raising my blood pressure
I am a 35-year-old migraineur with now, apparently, high blood pressure. This is a nightmare, as I depend on daily (no placebo) combination birth control pills. Other than never going to the doctor again and just lying on online forms to renew my HBC indefinitely, what options do I have to make sure I continue not having a period? [more inside]

Why would my period symptoms vary so much month to month?
YANMD. Over the last few years I have noticed that my period symptoms vary from month to month, and I never know what to expect. Some months (like this one) I have severe cramping, mood swings and lethargy. Other months I have zero pain and feel emotionally fine. If you are a menstruating person, have you experienced this, and if so what are factors that influence your symptoms month to month? [more inside]

What happens to menstruation when it is paused?
I've had my periods interrupted twice in my life. First time was when I started college with drastically different food and sleep schedules -- I missed them for three months straight, and had them return (for good) when I went home for break. Second time was when I got pregnant and breastfed. Both times, I noticed that the period returned on approximately the day (+/- 1) that it would have with my 28-day cycle, starting from the last period many months earlier. Is this a thing, or am I reading into a coincidence? [more inside]

Is it possible to buy a generic drug from a different manufacturer?
I've been taking norethindrone 0.35 mg once per day since November 2017. It went great...until this past month. I'm wondering if there's any way I could buy a generic from a different manufacturer to replace the one I was prescribed, to see if that makes a difference. Is that something that's possible? [more inside]

Lifelong irregular periods + no other issues. Should I be concerned?
I'm 28 and have had an irregular cycle (28-38 days) since I started at 13. A scan turned up "follicular cysts" which my doctor said are common in women with and without PCOS. I have no other symptoms but am still worried about PCOS-- should I be? [more inside]

If you love your job and work a lot, how do you adjust in slow periods?
I know this is a very nice problem to have. However: if you are someone who loves the work you do, how do you deal with the inevitable slow periods? I have a job that is very challenging, fast-paced, and genuinely helps people. It is also often very stressful. I love my job. About two or three times a year, though, conditions will shift and all at once I may have a week or two that is considerably less busy. During this time period, I find myself to be quite irritable. A day or two of catching up on errands or sleep and I am ready to be back to the regular pace. Four or five days in, I am very impatient and cranky. [more inside]

Any clue as to what is wrong with my period? Thyroid? Perimenopause?
I know you are not my doctor and this question may seem dumb but I could use some experience, answers, something. I'm just lost right now.
I'm dealing with issues regarding my period. I got my hormone levels back but they don't point to anything specific or alarming. I'm worried because my periods have definitely shortened and I don't seem to ovulate the way I used to yet I'm running out of ideas as to whats wrong with me. Hormone levels and history included.
