1 Lybrel is a no-period birth control pill. 2  It is the first low dose birth control pill designed to be taken 365 days, without a placebo or pill-free interval. 3  Seasonale has 12 weeks of estrogen/progestin pills, followed by 7 days of no-hormone pills -- which means 4 menstrual periods a year.
In most cases, you take pills with hormones for 21 days. Then, for 7 days, you take those that donât have hormones. For many women, itâs safe to skip the ones without the hormones -- and skip your period. Newer birth control pills are designed to give you four or fewer periods a year. Brand names include Lybrel, Seasonale, and Seasonique.
