I've always taken my combined pill back to back with a break only when I feel my body needs a bleed, which is about every 6 months ish! I recently brought it up to my doctor, and she actually now advises against taking a break as it eliminates any period-related symptoms (heavy flow, pain, nausea) and can help conditions like endometriosis. It also improves mood swings as you're not adding & removing hormones each month. I've been doing research into it recently & supposedly the break was only introduced to emulate the structure of a normal period, therefore woman would be more likely to take the pill! It's super interesting but probably much more complex than how I've explained tehe
@@Izzy-ex7ql Completely agree! In a perfect world I wouldn't be on it. The pill does relieve my endometriosis symptoms, and also prevent pregnancy. As a consequence to there being no cure for endometriosis, hormone treatments are used to control symptoms, essential doing the same thing as the contraceptive pill by preventing ovulation and menstruation. For right now it's a quick fix & helps a lot. However, I do agree that if somebody is struggling with hormonal imbalances, it's important to solve that as its own issue!
Hey. I had the same thing with my doctor. The break makes me super hormonal and emotional so she told me to back to back and that they're encouraging this now too! :)
I was told by my doctor there's a pill you can take & not have breaks and then theres another pill that you have to take breaks with. 🤷♀️ it's all so confusing. Considering we're only fertile 5 days a month why can they not teach us how to learn our cycles and manage it naturally rather than just handing us over the pills which come with a side effects page that folds out to the size of a blanket even tho not one doctor EVER went over all these side effects with me lol
Second this! They only really ‘mimic’ a period they’re not real ones, I’ve been told you can safely back to back pills. It actually works so much better for me hormonally
Flo has been amazing helping me track mine! However every now and then my cycle is 50-60 days lol, which definitely confuses it from time to time (resulted in it telling me I was 20 days late this month). Also, on delaying your period - you can get norethisterone tablets (not sure if the spelling is correct). You take them 3x a day around the days before your period is due, then when you stop taking them it’ll start within 2-3 days. It’s helped me when I’ve had to travel etc!
Sophia - get antiseptic throat sprays to relieve the discomfort (numbs)!! Also drink some turmeric boiled in a cup of oat milk (sounds bad but add some sugar and it’s not too bad) - it helps with the inflammation :)
you guys should check out natural cycles!! It’s an app where you put your morning temperature and it tells you everything to do with it!! it’s the best way to learn your cycle and periods xxxx
Heaps of aroha (love) from New Zealand! It's 11.50 PM on Friday 27th I can't sleep and this couldn't have come at the better time Haha. Thank you ladies for being your amazing self you inspire people without even realising. Btw my period is really heavy this time too so weird! hope to see you in New Zealand one day! Kia kaha (stay strong) all the best for everything in life xox
Kia ora! I'm a fan from Aotearoa too! I haven't met any other S&C fans from here before. If you're from Auckland, I hope you're staying safe and the floods haven't impacted you and your family 🤍
Yessss girls 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m just catching up on the podcast! 💕 so this couldn’t have come at a better time 💕😊👏🏽 love this surprise early upload! Yes hard working queens 👏🏽
Your period changes due to the season so it's good to have the period tracking app. I'm earlier in the month during winters and middle to end of month in summers
hahaha it's a lot of effort the way you guys do it! if you pureed the strawberries with some kind of blender and then strained it through a really fine sieve it would be zillions of times easier 🤭 or you could squeeze the strawberries through a few layers of paper towels or a cheesecloth :3
I’m sure Taylor swifts New York apartment is decked out in anthropology furniture! Well, there was a home tour on the Internet a few years ago so she might have switched it up now but woahhh it’s expensive!
Just wanted to let yous know that Flo isn’t natural contraception it just predicts your period and ovulation but the app Natural cycles is FDA approved as a natural contraception
Pretty sure it is Brandy Melville x I have the same set which looks identical: Rosa sweatpants in heather grey and Carla hoodie , same colour but choose the oversized fit 😊
Omgggg so excited for this vlog, happy Friday girlies 💕🥰 also, I’ve used Flo for years and it’s amazing! 💗 love to you both xxx Ps can’t wait to see you in a few weeks in Birmingham!! 🤪💗
Sophia is braver than me sitting on Chinz’s white couch, white blanket, in a cream sweatsuit 😂💀 on period day one
This is exactly what I thought 💀
i was just coming to comment this 😂😂😂
Love you both!! could you PLEASE do a vlog about your friendship? how you became friends, times where you have argued etc. Xxxx
The older sisters I’ve always needed thank you for the advice! Rejection is protection and redirection ❤❤❤❤
we need the old grwm videos and a Q&A about you guys - not so much about the girls bathroom! Xxx
Sooooo happy to see a vid without a ad !

same here!!
the pill is a bandaid solution to all of those issues you listed. I dont think women should be on the pill just to mask their hormonal imbalances!
I spoke to my doctor and she also advised taking no break, it’s not actually a period you get when you’re on the pill it’s just a bleed!

That face Cinz makes when all Sophia wants for lunch is rye bread 😂 can relate
I think it would be easier to blend the strawberries with milk in the blender and then strain it if needed.
LOVE when Cinzia spills the beans on where things are from! 🫶🏾
Doctors say u can take the pill without taking breaks, the breaks aren’t necessary at all 🎉
My gynaecologist says to get your period at least 3/4 times a year on the pill 😊
I was told by my doctor there's a pill you can take & not have breaks and then theres another pill that you have to take breaks with. 🤷♀️ it's all so confusing.

@@lisakelly6129 it’s not actually a ‘period’ though when your on your pill it’s a withdrawal bleed x
Do the 16 personalities test? I’d love to see what personality group you both are in
Cinzia I think you are an ESFP and Sophia you might be a INTP 👀
honestly id say sophia is ISFJ and cinzia is ESFP / ENFP
Flo is spot on every month 😊
Cracking up at you two, cringing over The question over Soph being a real friend😂😂😂😂

The Flo app is amazing I’ve been using it for the past 5 years and it really helps tracking my periods !
I used the Flo app when we was trying for a baby now im pregnant with my first 🥰. Xxx
Sophia - get antiseptic throat sprays to relieve the discomfort (numbs)!! Also drink some turmeric boiled in a cup of oat milk (sounds bad but add some sugar and it’s not too bad) - it helps with the inflammation :)
No matter what you two are sooo interesting to watch. Thanks for your authentic, positive and sweet vibes lots of kisses from Germany 🥰🥰
Yay can’t wait to see you girls in feb!!🤍🤍
you guys should check out natural cycles!! It’s an app where you put your morning temperature and it tells you everything to do with it!! it’s the best way to learn your cycle and periods xxxx
I would recommend Freddie’s flowers! You get a regular delivery of flowers that match the season.
Do the same dress but different versions: so long and short. That will look the best 😍
Wear the same ones for the show!! Would be super cute, love these vlogs💜
Putting fresh ice cubes in the flower water every day should keep them fresher longer if you can be bothered!!!
Also sparkling water! Plants breathe in carbon dioxide!!
And trimming the stems every few days and adding a spoonful of sugar. They don’t need expensive plant food

you guys should do the matching dresses, it’s so cute when besties match
Anyone else dying to know what happened to the honey? WHERE DID IT GO 😂
I use the Clue app for my period just like Sophia it really does help 😊
I really found that doubt question interesting, feel it relates to me at the moment 🥺❤️
I think the matching dresses would be really cute!! 💗
Yessss girls 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m just catching up on the podcast! 💕 so this couldn’t have come at a better time 💕😊👏🏽 love this surprise early upload! Yes hard working queens 👏🏽
My Friday just got better 🎉❤

Take a shot every time cinzia says ‘where’s the honey’ 😂
Only me who would love a trying different matchas video haha xx
OMG I’VE MISSED YOU GUYS ❤❤
Yayy!!! 🥳💗🥳 I’ve been rewatching old vids waiting for an upload!! U should defo wear matching dresses xxx
Finally a new video, I‘ve been waiting for it - made my day 🫶🏻
You two are the world's most beautiful ladies. Love 💕❤️❤️ Wes
Put a copper penny in your flower vase and makes them last so much longer 🤍
Cinzia if you change the water often flowers tend to last longer xx
Let me just drop everything and watch this!
My nurse told me I can take the pill without break’s apparently there has been a study and women are having “too many periods”
I miss their hauls 😢
2 seconds in and already jealous of Sophia’s hat
Anyone know where it’s from?💖💖
@@abbeygaunt4724 I think it’s Acne Studios!!
Cinzia you need to buy alstroemerias/ lily of the incas! They literally last about a month and are so colourful! x
Girls the "device" is called a mortar and pestle.
Can’t wait to see these dresses 😮
“Natural cycles” app is better. You have to take temperate every morning. Makes it more precise
MADE MY EVENING! From Aus 🇦🇺🥰🥰
you should put the male ad on tiktok, bound to get some volunteers xxx
omg cinz your hair looks soooo pretty
Omg the triggers with no being able to do simple ass tasks 😂
What about blending the strawberries into the milk?
i prefer the Clue app over Flo tbh
I’m sure Taylor swifts New York apartment is decked out in anthropology furniture! Well, there was a home tour on the Internet a few years ago so she might have switched it up now but woahhh it’s expensive!
Maybe try using strawberry milkshake for matcha???
Girls !! Just blend the milk and strawberries in a blender 🤣❤️
I missed you guys soo much. 💓
cinzia dragging the matcha container across the bench top as though it isn’t made of thin glass 💀
Girls the Kellogg’s squares aren’t suitable for vegetarians or vegans. It has beef gelatine, just a heads up xx
You have to change the water, and freshly cut the stems on the diagonal.
Missed you girlsss
Can you not just try the matcha with a strawberry milkshake?👀😂😂
Would’ve appreciated more of a q&a not a girls bathroom question
babe lidl flowers last two weeks lmao. Also make sure u trim the bottoms of the stem
You should film the interviews with the men😆
YAYYYYY LOVE U GUYSSSSS❤❤❤
Just wanted to let yous know that Flo isn’t natural contraception it just predicts your period and ovulation but the app Natural cycles is FDA approved as a natural contraception
Flo is such a gd app if you link it with the Apple health 💗 app can track fitness steps
You can buy Truff in Selfridges ❤
Crusher!? 😂 It’s called mortar and pestle girlies!
I neeeeeed to know where Sophia’s pink beanie is from I need it now 😩
omg it was me who tagged you in the tiktok 😂 love you girls
A Mortar and Pestle is for spices gals hahaha god I love yas. Probably just blend it next time then it will be like a milkshake and no lumps.
that bowl and scoop with the milk hahahahah fucking hell I'm in stitches, i would kill to watch one of you in a big brother house.
I’m thinking strawberry nesquik with the matcha …
