Hmmm. We may be onto somehting here. Menstrual Suppression Therapy, or MST, could have benefits for men as well. Men, can you imagine a world without Hostile Chick Syndrome, or HCS? Oh if it could only come true...

Until that happens it may not be wise to participate in this conversation.

palmer - maybe that's exactly what you need. The world would definitely be boring without HCS.

You cannot handle a few hostile chicks? lol a rooster that's afraid of a few hens

yes ma'am, I recognize a no win situation when it slaps me up long side the head

I've been on Seasonale in the past and did a lot of research when I was first thinking of using it.

Basically most articles I read said that the period you get when on birth control pills is a "fake" period...when pharmaceutical companies first created the pill they didn't think women would be comfortable with menstrual suppression and (what, 40 years later?) it seems they were right. They purposely designed the pill and the "sugar" pills to give women a period, but it's not the "natural" period your body would have if you weren't on the pill.

It seems most researchers agree that once you're to the point of taking hormones for contraception (which many/most women do), there's really no reason for the monthly period. And as far as ailments that many women get relating to hormonal changes (migraines, cramps, moodiness, etc.), only having a period every few months is great. (IMHO)
