LadyInWhite My gyno strongly discouraged me against taking anything that would surpress my period. But being periodless would be awesome although I'd be worried about the side-effects of long term hormonal birth control. Oh and Trite you don't start taking the pill till the day after you stop bleeding so that no uterine lining is present and the pill surpresses the formation of a new lining. So I was told. ninja Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I took Yasmin, and it says to start taking it the first day you bleed. You're protected from the first day, but I wouldn't want to have sex on my period anyway xp

Supressing your period for that long doesn't seem like a very good idea. I actually have had my period skip for a year (due to anorexia and stress). But after I got it back the cramps were really bad (they caused me to throw up, collapse, and the third day I couldn't get out of bed) and my period was so much heavier than normal.
I don't know how different the results would be if you took the pill, but this was just my expirence.

I use Mirena and I have stopped having my period. I am in a long-distance relationship, so most of the time I have nothing to worry about pregnancy-wise, and when I do, after he flies back home, I take a pregnancy test just to be sure. I only see him a couple times a year, so this has worked out well for me. It would drive me crazy under normal circumstances; I'm much too paranoid. I like not having a period when he's not around and it's not serving a purpose anyway, but when he's here it's nice to have a little reassurance than all is quiet on the womb front. Once we are living together, I hope to have the Mirena removed and to go back to the NuvaRing. I totally loved the NuvaRing, but I had to go off it because of high blood pressure. sad

I would never take a pill like that ^^; Never. I hardly even agree with the pill anyway. In my eyes, a woman should have a period. I dunno, that's just me. As long as I am not having to take it, I'm not against it.

Hmm.... I don't see a point in it and I don't like the idea. My periods are pretty easy to cope with most of the time and... I dunno what it is exactly about them, but I like them. I feel womanly and powerful. I guess it's a reaffirmation of my femininity each month: "Yes, I can make babies with this body. I have a cycle. I can ovulate and then bleed and it begins anew! I can lose large amounts of blood and tissue and be okay! YEAH!"
But, you know, there's the whole cramps and irritability and mood swings and aches and pains and feeling grossed out to balance those feelings out. Hmm.... Maybe, if it's not dangerous, it's a good idea?

I really, really don't like my period (irregular, and some of them are unpredictably heavy enough that I have to stay at home 'cause I don't have time between classes to change), so I would be very happy to take it. Except for the part mentioned earlier about the possibility of all that blood and tissue building up in your uterus. xp
I'd much rather take Seasonale. Four or three (can't remember which) planned periods a year.

I agree with everyone who says they would rather have their period to make sure they are not pregnant. 3nodding I am on the patch, so at least my periods are very predictable, unlike when I wasnt on birth control. I tried the pill, but I developed severe depression and tried to kill myself, so I dont think I ould take that sort of pill and live to tell about it.

My period annoys me, and so long as I stay sexually inactive, I would gladly have no more periods evar. I'd wait a bit for them to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the product though.
If I became sexually active *coughasifcough* then I would probably stop taking it, because periods are one of the better indicators of pregnancy, and I'd probably be paranoid otherwise.

I cannot take pills and am currently not on any form of birth control (>.<) but I am not sure if I would take this pill (if I could). It would feel weird, I believe, to not have your period even though it's a painful....Yeah.
I'd LIKE to start the patch, if anything.

I've not had sex [thankfully >> it sounds... wierd.] and hate my periods. I would be worried about the side effects though, but, hey- if it stops the annoying-ness of periods, I'd probably try it. stare

i can't take any form of birth control with estrogen in it so i probably wouldn't be able to take this one. the thought of no more periods is awesome, though. i always feel sick to my stomach and have cramps so bad i can't do anything for the first two days and the last day. plus, it's really irregular so i don't know when to be prepared with painkillers. if i was able to take it i'd definitely give it a shot, but it's not like i need anything right now and i don't want to run the risk of nasty side effects when i have no reason to. confused

I would be interested in it, but I wouldn't try it until it had been on the market for a year, maybe two.
I have really, really, REALLY bad periods, ever since I started in 7th grade. They're crazy heazy (I have to set my alarm to go off every two hours when I sleep or my pad'll end up leaking everywhere and that's really gross to wake up to) and I can't wear tampons because they only last about 30 minutes before I have to change them, the cramps nearly make me pass out with the pain sometimes and I've vomitted from them on many an occasion, AND my periods last a looooooong time - usually about eight days. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it'll only last six. sad

Sometimes I'll get lucky and it'll only last six. sad i agree with the first part, too. aww, my mom had that problem for a little while, too and she went to the doctor's where they did some procedure that made them a lot lighter and less lengthy. i think she had a cist (spelling...?) on one of her ovaries or something, too. i'd have to ask her what the name of the procedure is and all the details, though. i'll find out later today and let you know what it's called. maybe it could help. =/
