Fake periods linked with birth control pills?

Dilemma: I recommended my friend to take birth control pills because her boyfriend says that he is allergic to latex. However, she said something about “fake periods” being linked with birth control pills.





From what my friend heard: if a woman is taking birth control pills, it causes her to suppress their production of estradiol and progesterone. As a result, this causes women to produce a “fake period” because they are no longer ovulating. I wanted to know if this is true.?? So that I can comfirm this with her.





note: we already consider non-latex condoms but heard that there is a higher precentage of if breaking.





I also wanted to know if a guy or girl who is allergic to latex condom, will it cause the guy to become “soft” and the girl to become “dry”? If not, what are the real reactions of being allergic to latex?

Fake periods linked with birth control pills?
Allergic reaction to latex has nothing to do with the guy becoming soft of the girl becoming dry. It has everything to do with burning, itching, sneezing, hives, and anaphalatic shock. It can be serious if used on a person that is allergic.
Reply:You are correct. The woman is no longer going to have a regular period, because she is no longer ovulating while taking the pill. The period you get when you take the pill is called withdrawl bleeding. It comes from the drop in the level of progesterone during the week on non-active pills.
Reply:no pills do not cause fake periods what shes talking a bout is that wen you start the pill it will make you have a couple of off periods UN till the pill levels out your hormones and there's latex free rubbers out there,, look for them in the rubber area
Reply:Yes, it is a fake period, known as a withdrawal bleed. It comes in your week off (while you take placebo pills) and lasts a few days although it is normally lighter than a normal period, depends on the woman, some still gets cramp etc.





I'm not sure why that's a concern...the pills are designed to have that bleed...is she against artificial hormones or something?
