    If you can tolerate the birth control pill, take it continuously, skipping the placebo pills. I did this for years (at my doctor’s direction) and never had to have a period. It was awesome. Unfortunately I had to go off the pill to start HRT for perimenopause and now aunt flo is back >:(

      Taking the Pill has never really been something I considered since I’m not a fan of taking pills outside of medical necessity (exception for ibuprofen because pain sucks). I also kind assumed force blocking it permanently would be really bad for some health reason.

      If it’s not though and I can really just deleteit like that… Very much worth looking into. Useful to know!
