I'm now on continuous bc pills in the hopes of eliminating my cycle completely.
No go.
I've been on this regime for 24 days, and so far I've had about one week not bleeding. Cramps are wondrously light - two Aleve actually wipe them out - but of course they're now present nearly continuously. While flow, too, is lighter than "a period", it's not light enough that I will be happy with it on a 70% duty cycle.
I wish it really were eliminated. I sure hope all this steadies out soon to something better.
