New birth control pill produces only four periods a year
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to rule in the next few weeks on whether to allow a new pill to be put on the market that will reduce the number of menstrual cycles women experience. Instead of having their periods once a month, women who take Seasonale would have only four periods a year — one in the spring, summer, fall and winter. Get it? Seasonale!
Doctors have long known that women who take birth control hormones do not menstruate. The reason that birth control pills are supposed to be taken for 21 days with a break for a period is that the original manufacturers wanted to make birth control pills seem more “natural.” They also knew that having a period allows a woman who is trying to avoid pregnancy know that she is not pregnant.
But today birth control pills already seem “natural.” And there are easy-to-use test kits to see if you are pregnant. So who needs menstruation?
While many women would like to be rid of the inconvenience of periods, should it be part of medicine’s job to help women time their births to fit a busy schedule or to get rid of a messy and sometimes painful monthly experience?
Like it or not, the answer seems clear: Say goodbye to menstruation!
Well get with the tablets production people!! I want some!!
