hi!

depending on what kind of birth control you’re on, yes. also depends on if you’re taking placebos. i have endometriosis so i take a BC pill everyday to simply not get my period

@Lauren101502 yes you can skip the placebo pills.

@Lauren101502 Yes, that's part of why they are effective. Many people do experience a withdrawal bleed when stopping the hormones, but not everyone does.

Yes! But it depends!


my first year on the IUD (which I absolutely love!!) I did not have my period.


it also helped a lot not having to remember a pill ever morning!
