use the IUD, patch, pill, or ring will have menstrual periods every month. Some take the shot may not have periods often or at all while they use it. Use combined-hormone methods to skip periods.
The last seven pills in the pack are called "reminder" pills. They are inactive placebos that do not contain hormones. They are taken during the fourth week to let a woman have her period and to help her keep the habit of taking a pill on a regular basis.
Some women choose to skip placebo pills and go right into the next pack to avoid having a period continuously ,they may still experience some spotting — light bleeding — when they do this. One brand of pill — Seasonale — is being marketed as a way for women to avoid having their periods three months at a time.
Factors that can change the length of your pd. include:
Intense exercise
Dramatic weight loss
Smoking (smokers, especially thin women who smoke, tend to have longer periods)
Stress
Travel
Change in contraception methods
Disorders of the uterus
I got this info from a site, Hope this helps. [ phatdopelove's advice column | Ask phatdopelove A Question ]
