I don't give the arrival of my periods a nickname, because i don't tell anyone i'm on the rag, oh there's the nickname i knew it was there somewhere!
I don't dread getting my monthly visit because i already went through the scary phase in my life when I wasn't as regular as I was supposed to be.
Nowadays, I keep focused on good health to keep the monthly visits regular.
I wouldn't take that American Pill, it's profit driven, it's a manufactured convenience and temporariy false satisfaction in my opinion.
Since we're on the 'topic' I strongly recommend you watch The Vagina Monologues featuring Eve Ensler the writer and performer of this show. It's like watching comedy, but compelling at the same time. I just watched it tonite on tape, for the first time.

Actually, they are working on a pill for men. I think they are testing it already so it should be out in a cuple of years I guess. I can't wait to see it on the market to see if men are really going to use it ! Do you think they will use it as an excuse to go back to unprotected sex ?
I don't even take Tylenol (unless it's really necesary), so i think i'll pass on that pill too.... I rather stick to the ol' "coverall"

I feel the same way, I hate it so much that it makes me more moody around that time.....and would I also roll on my bed because it was so damm painful, I thought I was going to die!!! I wouldn't mind taking the drugs just to get rid of it for a few months.
Chica, doesn't Advil work ... i think with you it's just the pain factor not the actual cycle...
@ Chale: I heard that once you stop taking the pill, you need time to wear it off and then I guess you have chances again to get pregnant ... but about being a bunny kinda of thing I haven't heard that but I'm not sure
I hate the goddamn pill! Well, not the pill itself, but the side effects. My doctor told me that you could keep taking it without stopping for a week and you won't get your period for as long as you do this. This sounds just like this new pill. She said that it's safe, the only thing is that if you go off it, your fertility rate drops enormously! So I don't know. I'm all for the pill and women's liberation and all, but shouldn't they be working on a pill for men, as opposed as something extra for women to go on and suffer side effects from? Wasn't there a thread here on pills for men, or did I see that somewhere else?
The pill is great ! Well, Buffy, you doc is right, you can take it for few month in a row but I will not recommend it, unless, you're going on vacations or something and you don't want to be bother.

lol The visitor that's one I have never heard. I just say aunt flow is in town, or straight up just say "look man I'm on my rag, so back the f**k up ok!" lol I am a royal b**ch when I'm on my rag, and I get the biggest cramps ever. I hate getting my period, but the only good thing about it is that I know if I get it I'm not pregnant.
I hate my period, hate it, hate it. Although there have been a few times when I've welcomed it with relief. I remember when I first started menstruating I didn't even want to get out of bed. Ugh, I hated it. But as much as it annoys me, I wouldn't want to take any drugs to get rid of it.

You could keep on taking it and 'stop' your flow, but you'd still get spotting. So its not completely gone, you'd spot until you stop taking the pill.
I didnt know that your fertility rate dropped. I thought that I heard somewhere that once you go off of it, that youre fertile like a bunny. No? Please educate me on this.
As for the man pill... Im ALL for it! Although, I did hear that men who smoke the green are LESS fertile than those who dont. So for the sake of contreception, please light a fatty on a daily....
You need to menstrate though... its just part of nature, it helps clean out your system. If you get the depo shots, that also stops menstration, I think that you get it like 2-3 times a year or not even... I cant remember. I would recommend the pill, it controls your flow and you can also time things/events around it, b/c you know exactly when youre going to get it and how long it lasts, AND you know youre not preggos

Oh yah, I forgot to add... a friend of mine went on the depo shot (dont know how to spell it, but you ladies know what Im talking about) and after a while her coochie started to smell really stank. No matter how many times she douched that ish, she still couldnt get rid of the stench. She finally went to the doctors and he told her that it was a result of the shot. Turns out that her body didnt take to it too well.

Como soy tan curiosaaaaaaa, I googled the topic and guess what??????????????
This is what I found:
New pill means end to menstruation?
Global National Thursday, December 08, 2005
A new birth control pill that is due out in 2006 is being touted as the first pill with the ability to eliminate the monthly female menstrual cycle.
It's called "ANYA"
"Anya," a new oral contraceptive from U.S. pharmaceutical giant Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (makers of Advil and Robitussin), is currently pending approval for sale in Canada.
In addition to being 98 per cent effective against preventing unwanted pregnancies, the drug provides a steady stream of hormones that essentially stops the monthly menstrual cycle.
However, while doctors say that supressing the menstrual cycle (and its associated PMS) is 'medically' safe, critics call the drug 'reckless' and 'profit-driven.'
YEAH I HEARD ABOUT THIS WHAT IT DOES IS REDUCES UR PERIOD TO THREE TIMES A YEAR! INSTEAD OF THE FULL 12, HOWEVER THERE ARE SIDE AFFECTS LIKE ALWAYS. I personally dont mind u cant even tell when im on it or not. Im not what u guys call "Moody" ask orale the only thing i get is bad cramps but even those dont stop me from nada! BUT i love my period i mean its a sign that im not pregnant lo lol

I don't think getting rid of the menstruation part of the cycle is gonna help anybody.
There are several friends of mine who have tried weed during their periods and its has helped them reduce both their menstruation time and the cramps, moods and other umpleasant side effects to that part of the cycle. I'm told it also makes using tampons and other devices a less bothering experience to go through.
However, a note of self bashing here. We guys don't seem to have learned how much tenderness it takes to be with our ladies when going through their periods. And ladies need to learn how to explain better to us guys what they actually need . At least, that experience of lack of communication is what I have seen in Cuba and it certainly doesn't make things any easier.
There's also a very marked difference of opinions there in regards to whether sex during the woman's period is the right thing to do. Some people will totally go with it -provided, say, that everyone is comfortable, whatever that may mean- and some will totally pass from it. Is there some kind of "canadian" consensus on this matter?
... Oh, I myself don't mind (provided she doesn't mind, either ). I mean... God made showers for a reason!!!!!!
Ummm, how would this pill or whatever possibly work??? I mean, your body is going to think you are pregnant all the time and not release the egg ... Ay dio mio! I sooo don't think this is a good idea!!!!
