Is it less common to suppress it artificially? I feel like if I was a woman I would do anything to get around needing to have to go thru that regularly. Assuming the risks werent huge I dont get why suffer thru that all the time
But I also definitely dont want children


Second hand information, but I’ve heard that it’s much more common in Europe for women to stay on birth control pills “permanently”, whereas in North America there is always a week of placebo pills to allow the period to happen. There’s apparently no strong evidence why a period “has” to happen, but that’s the guidelines. 🤷♂️
That started changing in the US in the late 80’s, depending on the specific composition of the birth control.
