that are supposed to give you fewer periods or just stop them, but if nature intended periods, isnt that bad? and were would the unfertilezed eggs would go?

Ask your doctor for more information. Periods are what happens when you ovulate and don't fertilize the egg. These other pills prevent ovulation, so the egg doesn't go anywhere. I assume you are talking about the new pills that are out these days. You can do the same thing with regular pills by continuing to your next pack without taking the sugar pills during that one week.

You still have periods, the pills just help keep the egg from being fertilized. You usually take 21 days of the BC pills, then you are either off of them or you take a sugar pill and your period starts. When it's done you are back on the real ones.

Most BC pills you take for 3 weeks, then off a week to bleed. The 'new' thing is the same except you take it constantly. I thought it prevented ovulation (so there would be no unfertilized eggs) but I could be wrong, anyway your body would just shed/dissolve the unfertilized egg same as usual.
"Nature" also intended us to start having children around 12 and die by 30 LOL.... All medicine has it pros and cons.

You still have a period, just fewer of them..and they wouldn't put a pill on the market if they felt it was super dangerous.
