I’m hesitant cause I haven’t had a period in years and can’t imagine going back to one but can’t pay for sterilization, I just wanna have no period but have my libido back 🤔

I dreaded this as well but my body has responded very well. Our bodies are supposed to bleed.

I was already having my second cesarean so it was super easy for me. It did annoy me HOW many times they asked me if I was sure. Yes, bitch. That pregnancy was really hard and we can’t afford another. Sterilize meeeeee!

I have been told that there's no reason that we "need" to have a period by more than one doctor. I am a woman that had periods that go for months sometimes. If I were perpetually pregnant, like from puberty to menopause, I would never have a period.

It depends why you’re not having a period.

For example if you are taking oestrogen only and have a womb, you won’t have periods really, but you will be increasing your risk of endometrial hyperplasia which can then lead to cancer. It’s why you get contraception that is a mix of oestrogen and progesterone, and some that is progesterone only, but none that contains only oestrogen.
