I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but many of my friends on the pill make themselves "skip" their period. With birth control, simply put, you have 3 weeks of "colored" pills (blue, green, whatever) and one week of "white" pills. When you take the white pills is the week you get your period. However, my friends will skip over the week of white pills completely and just start taking next month's birth control - causing them not to have a period that month.

So just be sure she's not lying to you!

No, that's not what I was refering to, although I have heard of women doing this as well! What I had read was something about skipping a period while using BC regularly...but I read it a while ago, and I can't remember where I read it, so I might be missing something or misquoting or something...
