Is it really okay to skip periods? Do you need to have a bleed every month? Every few months? And what do you do when the pill that’s meant to stop your bleeding… doesn’t?
Dr Jess Floreani is back for a practical follow-up to our episode Is the Pill Just a Band-Aid?
We talk about why suppressing periods can be useful for people with painful periods, pelvic pain and endometriosis, and tackle some of the common worries about whether it’s safe to skip periods and what happens when you eventually stop the pill.
Then we get into the practical stuff: Slinda versus the combined pill, when to start, whether to take the sugar pills, how to skip periods, what to expect in the first few months, and how to troubleshoot breakthrough bleeding. We also cover the four-day “reset”, and when ongoing bleeding or pain might mean it’s time to try something different.
And we introduce a new way of thinking about period suppression: menstrual hibernation.
The bear isn’t gone. She’s just having a well-earned sleep.
