We cannot take birth control pills indefinitely. Each pack of pills only has 21 days of active drugs in them (some packets have 28 days of pills, but 7 are placebos – this is for those of us who forget to take pills sometimes).
This is only a short-term solution meant to help the women for a few months at most.
With the current hormone mixtures most oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) have a woman has a period every month (during the 7 days she either takes no pills or takes placebos) to shed the uterine lining.
There are newer OCPs and devices, called continuous-use birth control, that women can take for 84 days - 1 year (or 2 yrs for an IUD or vaginal ring, or indefinitely for a Depo-Provera injection - with the caveat that a woman may never have a period again) before stopping for one week to shed the uterine lining.
Because these are fairly new to the market there is zero longitudinal data on the safety of these products. And as stated above, long-term use can result in never having a period again, ie: never being able to conceive.

Reasons for the comparative quiet on Arab campuses and streets may range from a fear of angering autocratic governments to political differences with Hamas and its Iranian backers or doubts that any protests could impact state policy.
American students at elite universities may face arrest or expulsion from their schools, but harsher consequences could await Arab citizens protesting without state authorisation.
And U.S. students may feel more motivation to protest as their own government backs and arms Israel, while even those Arab countries that have full diplomatic relations with it have been strongly critical of its military campaign.
