Another guy chimes in. Got a clue why women have periods, besides to make their lives as miserable as possible for a few days a month? Women do not need to bleed to be happy and healthy.
I’m not a guy and I will tell you this.
For years I had horrible periods, flow like a river, high back pain, breakthrough bleeding, you name it.
Artifical hormones were not something I considered putting into my body. Look at this.

Carefully consider what you are doing to yourself in the long term.
What scientific fact do you base that statement on? I have to ask, because I find it unlikely that the most incredibly advanced organism in the known universe would intentionally bleed once a month for no good reason. Whether by design or evolution, it's an extraordinary waste and process must yield some major advantages in the maintenance of health throughout the time when a woman is viable and capable of reproducing. I don't believe that a pharmaceutical company is asking the deeper questions here beyond an immediate solution.
Also, did you read the part where I stated: "From the perspective of healing, I welcome reasonable exploration of this as a resolution." I don't believe anyone should suffer needlessly, and I do know many women who complain severely about their "monthly" problem. I'd voice the same concerns to them.
Look, if you want to take what amounts to a "beta" test drug available on a national basis, be my guest. As with any "new drug", I'd urge caution and careful observation.
We are finding that as time passes, these "miracle drug based solutions" offer as many concerns as they do benefits.
I'm simply offering a voice of reason.
And your name is an oxymoron. There can never be "Too much coffee." As a home roaster, there can never be enough.
If you want men to sit back and let women pop some new drugs because they offer an easy solution, I'm sure there's plenty of them over at DUh.
But as long as your on this board, you're going to find people who are willing to question these things.
So yeah, another guy chimes in. Thank God...
