Yes, you can always opt to skip the period if you're
using a pill... just don't take the week of sugar
pills. I feel after reading the article that some
caution should be voiced. I recently took a 4-month
break from birth control, and when I went back on it,
I noticed a big change..... extreme fatigue &
depression. These are symptoms that one may take for
granted if they aren't aware it's coming from their
birth control.

I did the depo preva quarterly shot for YEARS and
didn't have a period at all, until I found out it was
linked to fatigue and higher cancer risks (my doc
never told me that). Just some things to keep in mind
as we start playing around w/our hormones.

Thanks!
