The end of the period?

As a gay man I don't have many occasions to be concerned with menstruation (many, many years ago my good friend Andrew and I spent a car ride to L.A. coming up with alternative meanings for "menstruation" and other words which just didn't have much use in gay conversation).

Still, I found this article fascinating as it's a phenomenon that I've been completely unaware of: the use of birth control pills for eliminating women's monthly periods.
