Actually, physically women were not MEANT to have a period every month. Before the advent of birth control, women spent much time pregnant or lactating (which usually stops menstuation). It's actually HEALTHIER for a woman to have a period every few months or even every 6 months to a year, as opposed to every month. It can decrease their chances of certain types of cancer, and it makes them healthier overall. In fact, a lot of women don't stop taking their pill for periods of 3 or 6 months, then have a period one month, then go without for 6-8 months or so again. It's totally healthy. I've talked to many gynecologists about this and not one of them has not agreed 100% with this.
