i was always told that going on the pill would make your period stop completely (by freinds, not doctors) and lately i've been seeing a commercial about a pill that can reduce your period to only 3 days?? now, is it true that there is such a thing as a birth control pill that can make your period stop altogether, or is that just a myth? (link)

There's nothing that stops them completely, and even the shots aren't guaranteed- you could have no periods or one long one, unpredictable spotting, etc. But if you take regular BC pills and never take the placebo week you won't have a period. In other words, take 21 pills, move on to the next pack. This knowledge comes in helpful if you're trying to "time" your period (for prom or spring break, etc.). You really SHOULD NOT try to skip all of your periods, especially without a doctor's approval. There simply aren't enough studies to determine if it's safe. Remember how everyone thought the patch was safe?
