It is not unhealthy or dangerous to be on a form of birth control that causes you to skip or entirely get rid of your periods. The hormone progestin in birth control can thin the lining of your uterus, meaning there is less blood to shed each month. If someone is more comfortable having a monthly period though, that’s okay! Tell your provider and they can help find a method that’s right for you.
There are benefits for some who may want to skip periods. It may help for those with heavy, painful periods, prevent menstrual migraines, reduce acne, and lower the risk of certain cancers or ovarian cysts.
