Okay, some might think this is a "dumb moment" but -
If a person takes birth control pills but instead of having a period, just continues so that there is no period, what happens to the lining of the uterus, the stuff that is released during menstruation? Does it just stay there? Is it released another way?
Someone asked me this question and I didn't know what to say. I hope I phrased it correctly or at least hope someone knows what I mean.

the lining just continues to build up
this is why although you can "skip"priods by not stopping the birth control pill, you should not do so all the time or ofetn. if you do this you should go no more than 3 cycles without stopping and giving your body a chance to shed
although docotrs tell you you can do this, do not do it all the time, your body needs to be as close to its natural rythm as possibe... dont fool around with mother nature, there is a reason for it

Ah, you want to know if the uterine lining still builds up even when you skip the placebo week...
Good question, I'm not sure. I think so, since it doesn't come out since you skipped the placebo week. Which is why it is not good to skip that week for more than once in a row (from what I hear from doctors).

It just stays there. The next period will probably be heavier because of this.
