I have asked doctors about it, and I have seen my friend who was told she did wrong by skipping her period. She was on pills.
Implants have less hormones, because they are dissipated in your body constantly, unlike pills, and you can still have periods on them. It differs from person to person, and implant to implant. Some stop altogether, others have irregular periods, yet others have their period just a few times a year.
Stop spreading your medical misinformation
So if you read your two posts again, you might find the stuff where you contradict yourself.
Also, what misinformation are you talking about? That the "periods" while having hormonal birth control are a different kind of bleeding? That hormonal birth control can stop the bleeding altogether? That medication with a placebo week should not be taken continously by skipping that placebo week? Those have dosage meant to compensate for the placebo week!
And, that there is bleeding needing to occur and the hormones "force the blood to retain" is actual misinformation on your side.
Let's keep birth control with medication to the doctors, because all I wanted to point out here, is, that it is not only possible in real life, but also done regularly (not getting pregnant despite being creampied daily and not having bleeding for weeks and months in a row).
Go on, backtrack and gaslight some more, show everyone that you now claim that women DO have periods on birth control, whereas you started this off by insisting that women don't have periods at all while on birth control. You do remember that, don't you?
I provided the fuller context, you provided a snippet of information, regarding ONE type of birth control, and how that CAN lead to having no periods in some women. I provided the information for SEVERAL types of birth control, and the implications for MOST, if not all, women
"if they are on every day prescription, they do not have their period at all for months"
That is verbatim what I wrote. Read: every day prescription. That is a thing. Look up the products for that and what the expected amount of bleeding the users will have after adjusting. If you want to call that bleeding a period or a withdrawal bleeding does not matter. They do not have either.
And since you claimed to know about all this, I took fun in pointing out, that technically, the bleeding is not even a period. Guilty. It is a purely placebo thing. The companies inventing the birth control pills freely admit that. Bleeding is not necessary on birth control. But it was thought to be helpful in introducing the product. Resulting in the myth that monthly bleeding is necessary or that women on birth control still have their periods and statements like this: " old, bad, blood it had been forced to retain"
Oh, you got me... NOT! My friend was told by her doctors that a woman need to refresh the blood in the uterine wall by having periods, and that her prolonged skipping of the MONTHLY period week of her birth control for years, was why she needed to have a radical hysterectomy, but I guess you know better than her doctors... Oh, that's right, you DON'T!
The way you tell it, your friend had a prescription with a planned week of bleeding (that is not a period, but a withdrawal bleeding, but I digress). And she skipped that week without consulting her doc. Doing so for years. So? I am sorry for your friend, but what has this to do with prescriptions meant to be taken for a 3 month or 12 monthy cycle or implants with a life span measured in years?
Women need not "refresh blood in the uterine wall". What nonsense are you spouting now? Blood is always circulating. ALWAYS. If it does not, your body part with the non flowing blood will die in a matter of hours. Try blocking bloodflow to your brain for a minute and see what happens (actually you will not see, because you will black out). What does get refreshed wholesale, is the mucus skin, but it does so only because certain hormones act. It does not do so, if the woman is pregnant, before first and after last period, and if you trick the system with hormones. The week of pseudo period bleeding in the birth controll pills schedule was not done for health reasons. Look up it's history.
There are adjustment phases and individual reactions to this. There is a reason why you need a doctor to get prescription.
You probably misunderstood what the doctors were saying and are now trying to apply the individual diagnosis to all women. My guess would be, that they said, that on her prescription she would have needed to have her week off, so some bleeding could occur.
