This discussion has been brought up time and time again, and everytime guys seem to weigh in on issues they don't seem to know too much about.
Thor, you're comments are appreciated for their compassion about these types of situations!
As mentioned by others(and myself in another thread) there certainly is medication to almost stop periods entirely, such as taking your birth control continuously, which I do and it works well. BUT what most(not all, but most) of you guys seem to be not realizing, is that our bodies have to bleed, it has to happen no matter how you try to curb it, so the problem you end up with when taking medication to avoid getting periods is you end up with irregular spotting. With this, you actually have no idea when it's going to happen, and anything could set it off, such at sneezing too hard or having rough sex or sex with someone a little larger, and in those cases there's no real way to see it coming and take the time off.
And again, as I've mentioned in a previous thread about this(and I'm sure tons of other people have mentioned it too), periods are not always the regular 7 days a month they teach you in school, and every women's periods are different, so for them to "just take a week off" when it happens is not always a reality for most.
Anyways, not much more to say on the matter that hasn't been said before I guess..
