How to get birth control pills that eliminate or delay your periods?

I have heard that now we can get the birth control pills that can help us to eliminate or delay our periods if we want. I want to know is this possible? Can anyone tell me how to get birth control pills that eliminate or delay the periods? Is it safe to take these pills? Will it cause any harm in case I want to get pregnant? What do you think about these pills?

You are correct in stating that the birth control pills can cause delay in the periods. Even the traditional birth control pills mimic a regular 28 day monthly cycle. For the first 21 days, take active pills containing reproductive hormones. For the last seven days, go for the placebos. While on these medications, you bleed vaginally, as if you were having a regular menstrual period. The first extended cycle pill regimens provided active hormone pills for three months. You'll experience menstrual bleeding during that week. A newer extended cycle regimen is now designed. If this is taken continuously for one year, it would suppress all menstrual bleeding. By continuously taking the pill, you prevent hormonal fluctuations responsible for bleeding, cramping, and other discomforts that come with the period. I would like to mention here that an unscheduled bleeding often occur during the first few months. It typically goes away with continued use. I hope I have helped you with the matter. one thing that you must always keep in mind is that you must consult a specialist before starting any such medication to be on a safer side. Take care.
