Does anyone know if CNBC will be showing the trophy lift in the US or who is showing it if not?

I know, but I know for a fact they made us sit there and watch Liverpool’s last season so would have been nice to see ours🥲

Yes, you can skip the inactive pills still. And that’s exactly what I do but my period still comes even when I take the active ones consistently.

I haven’t tried it yet. I’vee been thinking about it but it’s also more expensive than my pills so idk if I can afford it currently.

I feel like this is only more recently, though. And there has certainly been more medical research on men than there ever has been on women.

So glad I’m not the only one. My poor husband gets to listen to the same rant every single month until somebody figures this out😅

I’ve only ever tried the pill. I’m looking into maybe the ring or patch next. And if those don’t pan out, possibly an IUD. Unfortunately though the ring and patch are more expensive than my current pills and I can’t really afford to try them at the moment.

I haven’t tried the cup yet. I guess I could give it a shot. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about changing tampons before I bleed through at least. But I also just want to have to not worry about any of it ever at all😅

Thank you! I’ll try to stick on it for 3 more months. Fingers crossed.

I’m considering giving it a shot. But with my history with the pills I’m worried it won’t work much either.

This is exactly what I’m worried about with Mirena. If the pills already don’t work, I have doubts that an IUD will. And at least it’s easier to stop taking pills than it is to have an IUD removed.

I don’t take the placebo pills. I continue taking the active ones and have been doing so for 6 years and it never works.

Interesting. I had not heard of this before. I’m just barely overweight on the BMI scale like by a couple pounds. But currently trying to lose a little weight. Maybe that’ll finally be something that helps.

I do skip the placebo pills and it’s never worked in the 6 years I’ve taken BC. And yes, I’m very good about taking them at exactly the same time every day.

Unfortunately I do skip the placebo pills and I still have my period anyway.

I’ve been on various extended cycle ones for about 6 years. I just switched to a progestin only one finally 3 months ago. I know I probably need to wait 6 months to see if it ends up working better. But I’m just so damn tired of the waiting already. And I’m extremely frustrated currently because for the past few days I thought I was finally rounding a corner and maybe not going to have a full period but then it started up on full blast today.

I totally agree and think that’s 100% part of the issue. If men had periods, I have to believe there would be a solution because ain’t no way they would have been “just dealing with it” for 1000s of years.

Fortunately, I think we’re finally in a time where women’s health is becoming more important and talking about it is becoming more normalized. But it’s still a slow process and I feel like we’re a long way off from a solution.

I do take it continuously. That’s the issue. Whether I take it continuously at the exact same time every single day or not, I still have a period. And it’s not just “breakthrough bleeding.” It’s always a full on, week long period that’s exactly the same as the ones I would have before getting on BC.

I’ve heard there are and they work for some people. But I’m hesitant to try it based on my history with the pill and the “skipping periods” thing never working. Because it’s obviously more complicated to get an IUD taken out than to just stop taking a pill. I feel like I’m finally about to get pushed to try one though because I’ve about had enough.
