With the advent of extended cycle contraception (continuous birth control pills such as Seasonale), lots of women are talking about whether or not to have periods. 72% of women surveyed say they don’t like having periods, and 40% would prefer to never have one.  But 50% said they would never consider suppressing menstruation with hormones.  In fact, I was just interviewed by Body & Soul magazine regarding this very issue, and it’s such a juicy topic, I wanted to share with you some thoughts, in case you’re one of those women trying to figure out whether to bleed or not to bleed.
