I think the facial hair will be a problem for most guys.

"She says caution is needed because there's not enough data on long-term consequences of using hormones continuously. Gordon notes menopausal women for years were told that hormone drugs would keep them young — until research uncovered unexpected risks."
Mark my words ... there will be unpleasant consequences for this. You're messing around with hormones. Suppressing them. There will be side effects. It wouldn't surprise me if permanent infertility was a result or other hormone problems. Anyone with sense should avoid this.

I can see the Lawsuits now, 5 to 20 years from now.
Edwards has been sketching future briefs all week end, so many angles, so much cash...

Most cycles have other things timed off of them. I wouldn't be surprised if this drives more things out of whack than is obvious.

LOL!
You missed it ... saw your web page.
Hey, you can always change genders. Tired of being a woman, be a man and vice versa. Confused? Be transgenedered.

Most doctors say they don't think suppressing menstruation is riskier than regular long-term birth control use,

You are absolutely right. Side effects of messing with hormones include monasticism and rise in vocations.

I don't know why..but this reminds me of the time in the 80's when I worked at a law firm as a gopher..someone who did handy jobs around the company..I would fix lights in the coffee room..the secretaries would gather around and talk in great detail about their cycles..no punches pulled..I was trapped as I was on a ladder and could not just stop and walk away..I wouldn't say anything..but as I finished and walked out with the ladder..I would say.."Better you than me"..
