Wyeth Didn't They Haveth This Years Ago?

Girls, you'll never bleed between the legs again! No more embarrassing, smelly periods. Tampons. Those diaper-like Overnight Super Maxi Pads with Wings. Screw your brains out every night of the month!

Con: you won't be able to fake a period to get out of gym class if you're on this thing. Some gym teachers can SNIFF a period.

The FDA has approved a birth control pill that gets rid of the monthly reds. Lybrel by Wyeth coming to a drugstore near you in July. [Marketwatch]

Instead of regular birth control packs with placebos so you have a period, Lybrel has hormones in all of them. [Wyeth press release on ACOG findings] There are other pills out there like Yaz that shorten periods but doesn't eliminate them.

Girls, just bite the bullet through annoying and torturous bloody schizo menopause like the rest of us.
