Lybrel will be the first oral contraceptive to stop menstration completely. There are similar pills such as Seasonale, which a woman has a period once every season and there are 2 shots that I know of where the side effect can be abscense of menstration (depro-provera and lunelle).
With standard oral contraceptives there is a week at the end of the month where the hormone laced pills are replaced by sugar pills allowing for normal menstration. Lybrel is a pill you take every day and there is no week off. Research says that there are no more risks taking Lybrel than any other oral contraceptive. Many women feel that not menstrating is unusual or unnatural and can be unnerving to some. But the facts remain that menstrual cycles have been manipulated for the last 40 years using oral contraceptives. All forms of oral contraceptives work by suppressing periods and ceasing ovulation.
- I see nothing wrong with this. I've been on the birth control shot depro-provera for nearly 3 year and I must say it has been wonderful. There's no bleeding, no cramping, no mood swings, and no unusual cravings. Another benifit for me is that it seems to help prevent the ovarian cysts I was plagued with when I was taking oral contraceptives.
