    Sugar Pills?

    So I was just thinking about this, and I was wondering who takes there sugar pills from their birth control? I mean do you think that it makes you stall or gain weight? 7 days of nothing? I dont even know what are in those, but can you not take them, or if you are on birth control do you have to take them. I mean that is the thing that tells your body to start producing a period, so I am interested in your comments.
    Thanks Christi
    PS, If anyone is wondering I am on Yasmin

    Try posting it in the womens forum, you will probably get more / better responses there.

        Just pop them out and throw them away each day.

          Well, check with your doctor (because there are different kinds of pills) but I DON'T take the "place-holder" pills. I just punch them out. There are really only there to keep you on track/schedule, but check with your doctor before you just stop taking them.

            My doctor told me that they are just there to remind us that we take a pill each day. My diabetic doctor told me it was fine to just pop them out each day and throw them out. However, I would ask your doctor first to make sure.

              There is a thread about this in the women's forum I think....I'll try to find it for you. I am on Yasmin too and NEVER take my placebo pills. They do not "make" you have your period--the lack of hormone is what causes your period. Since those pills have no hormone, your body knows it's time to start. So, whether you take them or not, you'll still go on as usual. Just make sure you remember to start taking your new pills again on the right day. I don't know if they're made of sugar or not, I just figure, why take something that doesn't do anything anyway?

                I dont take my "week off" pills. I just pitch them. And like Deb said, my gyno said that they were merely reminders so we stayed in the habit of taking a pill at the same time daily.

                  Mine were iron, but my doctor told me I didn't have to take them because they hurt my stomach. I bet you'll be fine just chunking them.
