No Uterus - Do I Take the Placebo Pills?
Post Body

Okay, weird question.

I (29F) had a hysterectomy 11/30/2020 shortly after being diagnosed with cervical and uterine cancer. After the surgery it was noted that I also suffered from adenomyosis that resulted in a 180g uterus as well as several small cysts on my ovaries.

I healed fine but in April (the day before my birthday 😑) I was hospitalized with a burst cyst.

At my follow-up visit with my gyno I was diagnosed with endometriosis after a sonogram and prescribed Mili 28s BC pills to hault ovulation and thus prevent more cysts.

My question is, if I don't have a uterus, do I need to take/skip** the placebo pills or can I just continue taking the hormone pills uninterrupted?*

This was not something I found to be easily Googled.

Height: 5'8

Weight: 125lbs

Medications: 150mg Zoloft, 100mg Seroquel, Mili, multivitamin

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: A few drinks on the weekends / some weed / quit smoking Dec '20, still vaping

Existing Conditions: See above

*Edited for clarification.

**Whether I take or skip the placebo is irrelevant lol I'm asking whether or not the period of time spent not ingesting hormones is necessary in my case.
