Anyone have any success in stopping their period?

[MandieG]

I've done it before with the bc pill but really hated the hormonal effects of the pill.

So I was wondering if there was any supplements or herbs that anyone has had an success with??

Thanks

Why would you purposely want to halt your period?

I hate having my period, it's heavy, it's crampy generally a pain in the ass. I"m also anemic so when I have my period it takes all I have to be able to get up. Yes I'm on supplements for my iron, but when the time of the month comes it does no good. Which is why I was stopping my period with bc pills., but hated the hormone effects.

I've read articles that say there is no reason for a woman to have her period more than X times per year, but I think they are still looking into that...

Every month I keep wishing that my bf will have dropped so low that I won't get it.....doesn't happen tho...

i saw a new drug that lets you have your period only 4 times a year and it is safe, let me find out and i will let you know of the name of it, also, the depot prevero (dont know how to spell it) stops your period totally. it is birth control but you don't have a period at all.

Thanks for the info....I have had the depo shot before and it made me bleed the entire time except for a couple days breaks...so it definatly won't work for me.

Seasonale (sp?) is the method to only have a period 3-4x a year. But it is hormonal too, not sure how you would react to that. I'd check with your GYN.

Demulen is a dream for me - which is ironic because it's a really high dosage.

I don't think I'll ever "get it" - I've been on nothing and on a few low dose oc's and Demulen works the best for me. (No crazy weight gain - no difficulty in weight loss, no pms, or water gain and my periods are barely there or non-existent.)

Hmm..not sure if I want to take any hormones......mine are screwy as it is...rather something more natural. guess it's off to see my naturopath again.
