Hi ladies,
Well I am on CD38 and still no AF.I was late last month too and had to end up taking prometrium to make her show up. My question is do you ladies think it is best to go back on BCP to keep me regular or do you think it's best no to and then just get induced to make it come? I am just so confused. Since I stopped taking it in May i have gained 5 pounds.

I'm pretty sure that you don't *need* to have a period every month to be healthy. There's even a bcp out now called Seasonale that's designed so that you only have a few periods a year. But I'm also pretty sure that going for a long time without a period can increase your risk of problems like endometrial cancer. I don't know how long "a long time" is in this case though. Of course there are both positive and negative effects of the pill. I guess it depends on why you stopped taking the pill and what your cycle is like without it. I just feel better having a period every month because without the pill I only had three a year and that scared me.
