The Pill
Is the pill really as bad as people say it is? I’ve been on it for years and feel fine and like how it lets me live my life a little bit better. But the internet has me worried that there are negative long term effects. My doctor said it’s the safest form of birth control idk I keep going back and forth on it. Any thoughts?

Skipping Your Period Every Month
I have really painful periods and was tested for endometriosis, but they discovered I had something else, which was explained so poorly to me that I still don't really understand but has something to do with my uterine wall.
They told me they could prescribe me birth control, so that I could I always skip my period. They said it wouldn't impact me getting pregnant in the future or my health in any other way.
Some of my friends do this as well, but some of their doctors told them they should get their period every 6 months.
I feel like doctors have varying opinions on skipping your period and how frequently you should do it and what the health outcomes are.
Does anyone else have this issue or been given a clear issue?
