While on your bcps should you use any extra protection on your bike?

When I was on the pill, I occasionally skipped periods without any problems. I didn't spot at all and it had no effect on the following months period. I always finished the pack though, so I would definitely discuss just stopping the pack with the doctor before you do it!

I always ride with a tampon. I don't find any discomfort, I can't even tell it's there. You do have to be conscious of string placement though!

I find that riding while on my period has some benefits. It reduces cramping, reduces bloating, and makes my period lighter. Overall, it's actually something I try to motivate myself to do during that time to make me feel better. Motivation though can be tough when you're sitting at home feeling ten pounds heaving, tired, and painful stomach cramps!!

This is so true for me as well. It's almost impossible to get yourself moving, but once you do you'll actually feel better.
