hormonal birth control

I don't know if it's a special formulation, but there's at least one form of BC that you can stop only four times/year....

They say it, but whatever, I've had Norplant and I wasn't taking that out monthly.

Actually, there's a lot more pushback against off-weeks within the medical community now that people are considering just how few periods fertile women have had over most of evolutionary time. We really don't need all that misery as far as anyone can tell who studies it; people (men!) were just trying to mimic an unusual condition without thinking too hard.

Completely 100% okay to skip withdrawal bleeds and stack, they say, with their vaginapagina hat on. More details on request!
