Is something wrong?

Question

I generally skip a few months of my period week so I don’t have to deal w it then I have one week that I do so it doesn’t get too bad. I heard 3 is the max so that’s what I’ve been doing. Recently I think I skipped 4 period weeks on accident and now when I’m on my second week of pills I’m bleeding this dark brownish color blood and my cramps are a lot worse. Should I see a doctor?

Answer

I would talk to your doctor. 
It really is NOT a good thing to not be shedding your lining every month. It can cause a lot of problems, and is why women with PCOS try so hard to have periods every month. It can cause a slew of health problems. I’ve never heard of being able to just “skip” periods, only postpone! I would ask your doctor if this is a safe method.

Answer

Unless there is an underlying medical condition you can skip however many bleeds you want. It is NOT harmful despite what people say. People just tend to do better skipping 3. I skipped for 1.5 years and only had a bleed because I couldn't get my prescription refilled because of appointment scheduling issues. 
There is no medical reason a perfectly "healthy" person needs to have a bleed.
