A few days after my period ends I just blissfully forget about it until one day I wake up and notice my crotch looks like someone was murdered there. Super duper fun.

It doesn’t need to be every month…
The creator only made the pill have a placebo week to allow the period to come in order to please the catholics
So, I’m a guy, so no first-hand experience, but I know at least two women personally, who unfortunately had additional issues with PMS-like symptoms and general increased emotional/psychological issues with what I think was this category of contraceptives. So, as always, look into what might work for you and stay aware of how your body and mind react. Just mentioning that, because both also had problems with doctors, including gynecologists, basically gaslighting them about how they are supposed to feel.
Does it affect fertility tho?
We could find out.
(Sorry dumb joke, had to)
that’s a whole new meaning to “fuck around and find out”
Lol very true. I like it.
(DM me)
I don’t think so. Basically you are tricking your body into thinking you are pregnant and leaving it that way. Less eggs are released, less uterine walls being replaced. That should mean both more eggs later in life and less risk of uterine cancer.
Of course you should ask a doctor about it. They gotta prescribe it anyways.
No - using the pill continuously works as well as taking the week off.
