Is there any benefit to taking placebo pills?

Question

I'm on the bc pill and have been for about a year and never bother to take the sugar/placebo pills. I'm not worried about taking them to "stay on schedule" so is there any benefit to taking them?

Answer

No. It's just for routine, that's really all.

Answer

Those are the white ones on your pack of pills aren't they? I've always taken them but didn't realize they were just sugar pills. So I can stop taking them and it won't hurt anything?

Answer

It depends on your pill brand. Some have Iron in the placebo pills and some, like what I'm on, only have 2 days of no hormones and then 5 days of a lower dose of hormones.
