i'm on alesse.
how bad would it be if i didn't take the green "reminder pills" this month and just skipped my period altogether?
i know of people that have done it. i just wanna know the risks, etc.
You have to have your period sometime, so if you do that every month, then that would be bad. I suggest switching over to Seasonale because Seasonale markets to consumers that it is okay. [ Igotamonopoly's advice column | Ask Igotamonopoly A Question ]
