@drsermedmezher: “Don’t Take the Birth Control Dummy Pills” #why. Sources- Nice CKS PMID 24109198 @katsophi on TT Tricycling is a safe and widely accepted way of taking the combined contraceptive pill where you take three packs of active pills back to back without a break. Instead of stopping every three weeks for a pill-free week, you take the active hormone pills continuously before taking a short break of four to seven days. This means you only experience a bleed once every three months. Medical guidelines confirm this is safe because the monthly bleed on the pill is not a true period. It is simply a withdrawal bleed triggered by the sudden drop in hormones during the break, which was originally included to mimic a natural cycle rather than for any medical necessity. Skipping these breaks does not cause blood to build up inside the womb, and it can actually be helpful for reducing period pain, hormonal headaches, and heavy bleeding. #period #tricycling #endometriosis
