"i got on this birth control at 47 because i was tired of having bad cramps. i don&#039;t have any feminine problems so i really didn&#039;t need a cycle at all. i have been taking this pill for 3 years with no cycle at all. i did ask my doctor can i get off at year 2 but she said if i&#039;m not in menopause my cycle could come down. it doesn&#039;t bother me to pop this pill daily along with my other meds. it did what i wanted who wants to deal with a cycle at my age."
