Not to mention even if she did switch it is not a guarantee hers would stop. All our bodies are different and respond to medications differently. And what a big ask it's not a simple switch some take a while for your body to regulate on. Mine took a month to see what it was really like. What a selfish a hole
Girl, run. My boyfriend treats me like a princess when im on my period, and doesn't think its gross at all. If your partner thinks your period is gross, you need to RUN. He is not a man, he is a little boy. Real men will respect you and acknowledge that periods are the reason all of us are here today.
That is so weird because I grew up knowing that I'm going to take care of myself and my periods no one took care of me I grew up in the 80s and this thinking that women need to be taking rest when they're on their periods my cousin has painful periods and she never ever had anybody pamper her you don't need to be pampered on your period I don't care what anybody says I'm a woman and my family has painful periods and nobody ever pampered us but I guess I'm generation x and I think a lot of people in generation x would never ever ever ever be like this I also want to say that my parents are so painful and so bad that I bleed so bad that a Divya cup I feel up every 1 -2 hours and they're supposed to last i- 12 hours that's how bad mine are and I never had anybody ever cater to me I think it's f****** weird that you women think that you need that
@@kristahathaway9308it’s called kindness. Pampering is a bit much, but people should care for each other if they love each other, it’s the human thing to do
I mean, I don't think anybody needs to take care of me either and believe me, my periods are severe and severely painful as well. I just want a man that'll understand if I'm in too much pain to do something unnecessary or is is disgusted by it. I have no business being with a man that's going to be so grossed out by something almost every woman deals with that he is willing to leave me if I don't medicinally stop them. That is childish. Luckily my boyfriend is a sweetheart and very understanding. I don't expect to be pampered, but if I ask him to grab my midol or a heat pack, he does because that is simply being a loving partner. -gen z @@kristahathaway9308
@@kristahathaway9308 she said your partner should respect and acknowledge periods. Not pamper you when you are on it. Her boyfriend pampers her because she is in pain, tired, sick, and everything else and he wants her to feel better.
Same here, he will cook and even try to shower me if am too weak. I took birth control pills once and he was so angry that it would mess with my fertility and hormones so he will be the one to be careful. I adore him so much
lil fun fact about birth control ✨It effects women in difference ways✨ Yes some hormonal birth controlla stops periods! But again doesn't actually work that way quite fully. Each women body reacts differently, some people experience can range from having no changes to their period. To less extreme cycles or super extreme cycles, to having none at all.
So true. Like I’ve never had an issue with birth control pills but plenty of women have horrific side effects from them. You really have to have a good doctor and trial and error
The birth control I'm currently on, the shot, makes it to where I don't have periods. I dont mind it, but the only reason I changed is because the 3rd or 4th week in the pills packet would cause debilitating cramps around my belly button. That was also after they changed what brand I guess it was that they were giving me.
This yes! I took birth control since I was 16 due to PCOS. It did help regulate my cycle somewhat but also caused weight gain, migraines, really bad mood swings. I've been off of them for 6 months now and no migraines, mood is stabilized, I don't have ravenous cravings. Its different for everyone.
@@Catherine.Dorian. My main PCOS symptoms have been hirsutism (mainly facial hair), irregular periods and insulin resistance. I take metformin since my A1c was slightly elevated and I also take myo inositol. I find that both of these have been helping with my insulin resistance. I try to maintain a lower carb diet also since I am trying to lose weight and that definitely helps with regulating blood sugar levels. For my periods they seem to have gotten regular now (I am not sure if that is due to taking birth control for years or because of the diet I am on and the metformin etc.). Me and my husband are trying to conceive so I have been tracking my cycle and it seems to be regular so far without the birth control. I would say the inositol is helpful in this as well but I have only been taking it for the past 3-4 months so it may or may not be the cause of regular periods. The facial hair is the only thing that has not changed. The only thing I can do for it is use an epilator every other day or every 2 days to keep it under control. The biggest thing that helps me I feel is managing my diet and also working in some type of exercise daily. I am really bad with the exercise part so I need to do better on that but with a lower carb diet I feel a lot of my issues have been under control. When I was diagnosed I did not have any cysts on my ovaries so they diagnosed me based on testosterone levels and other symptoms but I have another gynecologist appointment in 2 weeks to do an annual check to make sure everything is still ok. Hope this helps.
Oooo. He already messed up on MULTIPLE levels. Not only is he comparing his current partner to a previous one (a big no, no of you want a new relationship to work (keep your past relationships in the past in most circumstances)), but he is trying to impose an impossible standard. Birth control isn't for everyone, and the only reason why girls use it for their period is when it is EXTREMELY painful, have a heavy flow, or some kind of medical condition like endometriosis, or somthing else. It also wouldn't have the same effects on everybody. Apparently, it can also affect attraction, so they could just ruin the relationship. It isn't 100% either
Saying "you don't have to do that to yourself." Like she is doing something to make herself have her period as opposed to the ex doing something to stop them.
While I agree that the bf seems a bit sketchy especially comparing his actual gf with his ex (always alarming), he is not completely wrong: Most birth control pills can be taken permanently (until youngish to become pregnant). The bleeding you get is medically speeding not a period but due to your body reacting to the withdrawal from the hormones you take. More importantly, the bleeding is medically speaking UNnecessay. Please talk to a gynaecologist. It is medically absolutely unnecessary to go through that bleeding and pain if you take the pill as a form of contraception!
@@subarashiwein6613 it may be "unnecessary" but it isn't some kind of abnormality. And hormonal birth control in general does a lot of horrible things to your body that aren't at all healthy. I see the necessity for it obviously, but we shouldn't act as if our bodies on birth control are the same as our bodies without birth control.
Funny how he thinks he can get another one to do his thinly veiled selfish suggestion There was always a reason why even his ex left him, she probably got forced to take those pills tbh
hi, girl who went on a specific birth control and now no longer has periods here! first of all, not all women have that type of birth control (if they’re on birth control at all). second, not all women’s bodies react to birth control the same. i’ve spoken to women who are on the same type as me. some have heavier periods, some have lighter, some are still normal, and some (like me) don’t get them at all. it does not depend on anything the women can control. three, i still got really bad pms symptoms like irritability, mood swings, and cramps. and my ex boyfriend was wonderful through it all. hot water bottles, late night snack runs, listening to me laugh and cry, etc. (before my current birth control he kept ibuprofen, heated blankets, and pads readily available in his house). if your boyfriend cannot understand that periods (whether you bleed or not) are normal things that happen then he is not the right person to be with.
Depends. I take Slinda since I have Migraines and cant have other types and not only has it reduced my "pre period" migraines I used to have, but I havent gained or lost weight. It also stopped my period completly and I wastold it was perfectly normal. I did find a decrease in libido, but that is prettynor.al with birth conrol and Im very stressed recently soo it makes sense xD
@@Mystic_Dreamers why so defensive? Public comment section. Nobody asked for yours and you still decided to leave an ignorant comment to which I responded nicely. Get a grip you're spirling
@Mystic_Dreamers the person was very respectful in their response talking about THEIR experiences, so there no need to be an ass. I'm also on birth control that stops your period, and it feels like I finally have a life and I'm not constantly sick anymore. I also didn't lose or gain weight on it but based on your comment, you only care about women's experiences if it matches your bias and they have the same experiences that you can use to put them into a box regardless of the fact that women's bodies all react differently to medications just like men.
Reminds me of a guy I spoke to online Told me it was weird girls ‘felt the need to show themselves’ He was referring to crop tops and asked what was wrong with me for defending people wearing them 😂 He also insisted Pakistan was in fact a feminist country and that Pakistani women taking off their hijabs in protest was incredibly wrong People are pretty fucked up He also said that men not having shirts isn’t nudity but women is?
Say someone is Muslim without using the word Muslim. My friend married one, everytime I was there he wanted to discuss women's clothes. Trying to convince me how wrong my opinion is. I got fed up with him and told him not to bring up the subject again. He had no other subject. Obsessed, that is why Muslim women have to cover themselves and even then they are harassed.
As a Muslim hijabi girl, tf☠️. Look, first of all, a girl can be Muslim without wearing a hijab still as long as she prays everyday and has her Iman and wears moderate clothes. That's all we need ong. The problem is not the religion Islam, but the people themselves who force others, especially men in this case! Islam never said to oppress women, but look at these guys who think they know it all. It's sad how these types of people ruin the image of our religion :(

I asked for the lightest dose pills, just wanted to take the edge off my periods. First month got 2 periods practically back to back. Then for 5 months I was anxious thinking that the dose was supposed to be low and it could start at any point… It didn’t. I’m off of it now, and I feel much better getting back on schedule. Every single thing that annoyed me about him before the pill multiplied when on it. 😂😅
Some women who start birth control or switch birth controls, lose interest or attraction in their significant other because of the effects on their hormones. So while the birth control his ex used might have made their relationship "better" (clearly not good enough because they broke up, but I digress), that doesn't mean it would make his relationship with OP better, since birth control affects each woman differently. Also, rarely (if ever) is there a situation where someone should give the advice of 'you should do what my ex did because it made our relationship better' to a current partner.
i had a talk about periods with my brother a while ago (he was curious) and he was shocked that it comes every month smh you learnt it in science classes bro
Of course you can stop periods if you Doctor prescribes some pills that you take 30 days a month . ( Or 28 in February or 31 some months !!! ) You never skip a single day and you don't bleed . That's one choice that women swimming in competitions opt for .
It also doesn't work the same for every woman. I have tried every birth control method out there to deal with my severe periods and only patches has had any effect. Now I bleed for a week rather than 3 straight months. Not all Birth control also stops the period completely. Birth control is not a fix-all for every woman and I'm just tired of people thinking it's always that easy@@marie34K
The depo injection stops your period completely after a year, and it takes about a year after you stop getting it for your period to return. I'm on it, and it feels like I finally have a life and that I'm not sick for like 2 weeks every month because of pms and the actual period.
Only way I am comfortable stopping my periods is with pregnancy. As much as periods annoy me its a relief to have them every month knowing my body functions like normal (as far as I know). I actually asked my husband if I could stop my birth control because the hormones where making my depression and anxiety worse where I felt like I needed help and nothing I did could manage it. Now I am completely fine beeing off it for 4 years now.
Men should be educated about periods just as much as women to avoid this kind of situation Also,tell him that if he wants you to stop having your period,he can help and stop it for 9 months,expect he then has to take care of someone that in the future has 50% of chances of having a period
My boyfriend is the middle child of 3 boys. His mom never told him about periods, his ex girlfriend never told him, I was the first to tell him what periods were, how I deal with them, the pain and yes even some of the gross details. Not once did my boyfriend ever judge me or think I was gross or that I should stop my period. I do want to look into birth control to stop my period as the pain is just too much for me, but I'm happy to have a boyfriend who loves and respects me and understands that biology is biology. We can't control what our bodies do.
I have one that stops my period but that's because I got endometriosis. I'm actually suffering if I have normal periods. Wouldn't recommend that birth control to anyone who doesn't need it, I'm glad I don't feel side effects from it.
Hey so there is evidence that - if possible- you should take the pill permanently untill you wish to become pregnant. Taking the pill permanently should also weaken the negative effects of the endometriosis. Please talk to your gynocologist about this! It might not be possible with all birth control pills and every woman is different. Wish you all the best with your diagnosis.
Girl the second I heard that I started laughing uncontrollably of how the men are😂😂😂😂😂😂😂(*I swear I'm trying not to be mean I swear I swear I swear please please do not get angry at me😅)
Periods are natural parts of being a female human being! Plus, do you know that birth control is even safe? I’m a 13 year old, and having birth control sounds painful and miserable, probably worse than periods. They aren’t something to be ashamed about, ya know?
Birth control is safe depending on how your body reacts to it and its not supposed to hurt you, many women take it to make their cramps feel better, others take it because it will make their cycle more regular, you can always talk to an OBGYN to see what works for you or find out if you should be taking it, I personally do the Nexplanon arm implant and it is what works best for me because it makes my cramps less painful, lightens my bleeding, and its easier than remembering to take a pill at the same time every day
As someone with pcos who doesn't get their period regularly let me tell you, skipping periods especially for months at a time is not a fun thing to do, once you do end up getting it you are in absolute hell on earth
I had a boyfriend who didn’t like that I had my period for a long time since I had just gotten an iud. He tried to force me to get it removed and go on shots for birth control and shots to increase sex drive. I didn’t date him very long. Don’t let him get a foot hold on that kind of control.
I had a doctor tell me. That it is unhealthy. To not have periods. That you need to have one every other month. That cancer can be caused by not having a period. The only exception is pregnancy.
That's BS. Plenty of birth control prevents ovilation which can prevent periods and they are FDA approved and proven to be safe Ifyour period just suddenly stops then yeah, something is very wrong. But this isnt the situation being discussed
I would very much suggest to get a second opinion on that! Most birth control pills can be taken permanently (until wish to become pregnant). The bleeding you get is medically speeding not a period but due to your body reacting to the withdrawal from the hormones in the birth control pill. More importantly, the bleeding is medically speaking UNnecessay. Please talk to an informed gynaecologis! It is medically absolutely unnecessary to go through that bleeding and pain if you take the pill as a form of contraception!
@@subarashiwein6613 I mean , if you take pills for periods , it's normal in some case ( cause not everyone react the same to them ) to not have them anymore . But having your period is actually a sign of good health, so naturally not having your period at a certain age means that something is wrong. Of course when you have your period , if it's painful and all , that also not normal. But the doctor ,if he wasnt talking about pills and all but naturally, is not wrong to say that not having your period is unhealthy
My cousin's husband was NPD like this too, he wanted his wife to go for swimming when on her periods. And using similar excuse of other women friends who go swimming when on periods. We couldn't convince him that those who go swimming when on periods either had lighter flows or weren't really on their periods. Men who expect their women to take hormones for their convenience and needs, or don't like disruptions in their life from normal life challenges like periods- they don't need real healthy birthing capable women partners. ( Hormones also add to a whole set of other heakth challenges for women- so expecting somone to simply take hormones for convenience is really an insane choice). Such men like this are more likely going to be worse than this when a woman has other health or life challenges when they are together. Good you broke up with him! You dodged a major red flag- because the guy like thus boyfriend are people who don't deserve a healthy normal woman partner and a realistic balanced life partnership either.
I take birth control that stops my period( I haven't had one in 2 years), but this was my choice because my periods were pretty intense on me emotionally and I would have to be sleeping for almost a whole day to not feel pain, and usually I would get my period on exam weeks, so it was really difficult to do a math test while having cramps, back pain, headaches and nausea. What I'm saying is that if you want to stop your periods, do it by choice, and she is absolutely right to not want to take this type of birth control, because it's her body. And also the guy is a huuuuge red flag for wanting her to take hormones that could result in serious health problems in the future just because he wants to go to the gym with her
Heh, I had an ex like that. In his defence only child, older parents, 20 years ago. Honest to goodness thought I could have my monthly hosed out and/ or get pills to stop the period. I eventually changed my birth control as demanded, my taste in partners flipped in the space of a month (I don't know if that happens with modern BC but it was a documented side effect at the time). Tbh it was the straw that broke the camel's back. There was a lot of emotional guilt tripping, lying, spyware... I left in the end. He couldn't understand why. 😅
He needs to go back to school if he doesn’t understand that not all birth control methods work the same. OP could take the same BC as the ex and still end up with a period. Hell, that other BC could even make their period WORSE. I personally hate having a period cause mine are extremely painful, but not many people like not having one. Most people just want a non painful and less messy one. If OP is happy on the BC they have, there’s absolutely 0 reason to change it.
I don’t get my period because of chronic illness so I stated birth control. It’s helped regulate them, it gives me peace of mind too even with the side effects. That man is nuts.
Those types of birth control don’t always completely get rid of your period. I’m on nexplanon and I still have my period about every 6 months (less than usual but still) plus there can be health issues that come with skipping it. The only reason I even got on birth control in the first place is because I have PCOS and endometriosis which makes my cycle a living hell.
Who's gonna tell him that the period halting effects of BC don't effect all people the same? Some people will still get periods while continuous cycling the pill or using and IUD.
Yeah… dump him. In the time I’ve been dating my bf he’s always asked me if he can do anything for me and suggests things that could help and he makes sure I’m taking care of myself. He also gives me a lot of affection and reassures me since I get anxious a lot before and during my period. And he has absolutely no qualms about having sex if I’m on my period. He is not disgusted or irritated by my period and he treats me as he should. With actual human decency
Every woman has a different reaction to birth control. I'm lucky in that it just made my period less heavy and painful but other girls I know deal with extra heavy periods every other month while on the same medication as me
I would happily stop having mine if my body wasn't already messed up as it is. Birth control messes with my other medication so I can't take it. Sounds like it would be a good thing if Op broke things off with their boyfriend.
i use a medication to stop my period, but that's because my period kept making me almost pass out (never found out why because the doctor only did blood tests and those appeared normal.) it is not something that should just be done willy nilly, as there are side effects like with any medication. i also still get mini periods from time to time, and still get vagina cramps. don't do it if you don't need to, just like with any medication.
Habe you ever heard of „endometriosis“? It’s often not diagnosed because not well researched 😢 Endometriosis can leads to very heavy cramps (until you pass out). Thanks to sexism in the health care system it takes on avarage 10years for woman to get diagnosed with it and it’s one of the leading causes for unwanted childlessness. I would advise you to inform yourself about it. Just to make sure :)
@@subarashiwein6613 i've looked into it, and it's a big possibility. i'm just not comfortable with the uh,,, testing. my medication is actually used to treat it, but some times i get break through bleeding, this is just heavier (and longer honestly) break through then normal. for seemingly no reason (it's normally with an increase of activity level. that's not happened.) i'm gonna bring it up at my next dr appointment, but it's likely nothing to be concerned about, just annoying.
Okay so young ladies. The 1st thing you should do is ask a guy to buy a pad/ menstrual anything. Somehow for some reason crappy men u will never recover from fails this. It's like Divine Intervention.
Idk how people went their whole lives not understanding basic anatomy. I was FORCED to go to health class FOR FIVE YEARS IN A ROW. Yet every year, the idiots in class with me would giggle and get real childish real quick. PAY TF ATTENTION TO EDUCATION! OMG!
My partner used to be on birth control. During the honeymoon phase of our relationship it was great as I never needed a jacket during the rain. It did however get to a point where there was a big hormone imbalance which effected mood swings, period cycle, skin etc. Now I never get to feel the rain on my skin, but it’s worth it for her.
It shows how uneducated he is about birth control in woman. The goof obviously does not want anything about your reproductive parts to interfere with his life. And that is more important than love. He’ll be such a great partner during pregnancy NOT!
You get your periods monthly for a reason. To shed the lining in you uterus, it's important for your body to clean that out. I know some women need to stop their periods with medication but they have medical issues. Not to make life more fun 😮
Excuse me what? I'm on smth similar to his ex, but that's because my period was interfering with my day to day life. To basically demand someone to switch to a new medication that could fuck up their hormone balance or god knows what in their body, that's unreal
Welph I don’t have my period. I haven’t had my period since I was 14 and it’s not a good thing btw. Aggressive ovarian cancer spreading to most of my reproductive organs = no more periods! But now I’m mid 20s and would have liked to have a child of my own- Also he’s absolutely nuts if he thinks that’s how birth control works 😂
That exgf.... I wanna know what she was doing to make him think that. Like did she manage the relationship as such that made him think that you don't _need_ to have periods for years and years. Or was the exgf doing something stupid that she shouldn't have been doing in the first place?
While I agree that this guy seems to be a douchebag he might have a point: Most birth control pills can be taken permanently (until you wish to become pregnant). The bleeding you get is medically speeding not a period but due to your body reacting to the withdrawal from the hormones in the birth control pill during „the pause“. Some pills will have a built in „pause“. Meaning their composition differs and eventhough you take a pill each day some won’t have hormonal ingredients which also will result in you having that bleeding due tobte withdrawal effect. More importantly, the bleeding is medically speaking UNnecessay. Please talk to an informed gynaecologis! Sp most of the times it is medically absolutely unnecessary to go through that bleeding and pain if you take the pill as a form of contraception.
Information for all the girls taking birth control pills: I was informed by my gynaecologist that you can actually take your birth control pills without the „pause“ of seven days. Please ask your gynaecologist about this! When you are taking birth control your bleeding is not actually a menstrual bleeding but more of a withdrawal symptom because you stopped taking specific cocktail of hormones. Here comes the really fucked up shit: This entire bleeding is medically speaking absolutely UNnecessary. They did it because they had hoped that the pope of the Christian Church would support this form of birth control since woman would still bleed and thus not contradicting the original sin they all carry according to the bible. Sadly the pope did not agree. And now there is quite the industry around menstrual products that profit of young girl not being informed properly by their gynaecologists. It may sound made up but I swear it’s not. Couldn‘t believe it myself at first.
I mean I don’t see why it’s a problem for him to ask her to consider it especially since it’d make life easier for her too. I think she could’ve explained nicer instead of immediately getting upset and basically saying he doesn’t accept her for having periods. Him saying he could find another girl was awful though. Maybe I’m missing something? (I am a female and I have periods as well)
The day a biological man has real menstrual cycles and has a period is the day I will think about listening to a man for advice on my periods. The OP just needs to walk away from someone who is lacking common sense.
Any chances that doctor was Christian? I beg to differ. A lot of my friends who took BC for years didn’t have periods until they wished to become pregnant (and got healthy happy babies): Most birth control pills can be taken permanently (until you wish to become pregnant).

He was panicking and frantic 😂❤ "what do I do!? How do I help!? Does the bleeding stop or does she need a bandaid????? OMG are bainaids gonna be too small!?!? I can run to the store what does she need!? She's hurting what do I do??? Is chocolate a real cure or is it a myth!? Do I hug her or go to the other side of the house to make her happy!? 😭😱" He was so concerned and desperate to help his sister, me and friend were so moved by his want and need to help her and learn. Good men do exist, ya just gotta keep an eye out for em ❤
I would have told him, "why not do it naturally, for a whole 9 months i can have no periods and it'll only cost you 18 years of your life. And after the 9 months, if you still think that way, we'll do it again" And watch him shit bricks
If only he was right. If only we could stop our periods without side effects, sure, we'd all do it. But for now it just isn't possible. The only way is uterus removal, but no doctor want to do it on an healthy childless women 😥 (and it's still has temporary side effects as all surgery)

Just because it’s an off switch on my system doesn’t mean it’s the same thing in someone else’s. Not everyone has the PCOS I am intentionally sidestepping. It’s an unreasonable request. NTA.
I'm in the exact situation where I'm both a man and take birth control and have a period (Trans 🏳️⚧️ ftm) The depo shot is wonders and it works wonders for me but you can't try to force somebody to do that
It's not that people want to have them, it's that people dont want the side effects of preventing them. It's a pro cons list. Mybirth control helps with my migraines, it's a huge pro for me, no period is just a nice side pro. But all birth control has a ton of cons
All I want to say already been said by the person above me, plus anything that make a woman stop her period would effect her fertility, and some people want to have biological kids, not now, but someday
