My doctor said it wasn't anything to worry about. I have Mirena now, and also do not get a period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567841 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:32:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1567841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that if I needed to skip I took pills back to back. My doctor said it was ok as long as I had a period every 3-6 months. I was getting terrible menstrual migraines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567822 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:28:56 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1567822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Yasmin and skipped periods per my doctors orders. I got one 3-4 times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567802 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:25:58 +0000 blackbird 1567802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. I skip my period for months on end by taking back to back pills. I have endometriosis, so it's not good for me to have a period. It contributes to infertility. Anyways, it's really awesome never having a period :grin: I just take the generic pill. Can't remember the name of it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567723 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:02:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1567723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on junel generic and I hardly get one. I never intentionally skip - but what I get is extremely light and nearly nonexistant. what's odd is that I was on this exact same brand pre-baby, and I still had a full period (still not as heavy, but there was definitely one). But now, I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567710 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:57:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1567710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed my period for four years on Mirena. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567709 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:57:18 +0000 LBee 1567709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a period the entire time I was on the mini-pill. My doctor said it was fairly common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567702 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:55:53 +0000 Pumuckl 1567702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on the nuvaring for some years and always skipped the withdrawal bleeding per dr. orders because the break would give me a migraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567688 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:51:27 +0000 meganmp 1567688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm on Mirena, so I don't get a period at all. From what I understand, there can be a build up of something in your blood (iron?), but it's not super common. I figured that things like Mirena wouldn't be on the market if it was bad for you to not get your period! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567684 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:50:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 1567684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an IUD and have no period. FWIW, I had an IUD + no period for over 2 years prior to getting pregnant with LO, and as soon as I had the IUD removed my period came back, super regular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-on-birth-control-and-not-get-a-period#post-1567671 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:46:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1567671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know your period stops with certain birth controls, but I've also read that it's healthy for your body to have a monthly period.</p> <p>We're going to visit my parents this week so I intentionally skipped my period (I'm taking birth control pills).</p> <p>Anyone take birth control and not get a period? What do you take? </p>
