An Old Question With a New Twist...... Posted: 09-25-06 12:40pm
Ok, the age old question with a new twist.
How can I skip my period? The twist is
that I am not using birth control. My
husband has had a vasectomy and I really
don't do well on the pill or other
chemicals. Is there another way to skip
a period safely? We have big plans that
will be dampered greatly by having my
period when it is supposed to
happen.....Please help!! Thanks in
advance.

There is actually a way of postponing your
period but it requires getting on birth
control I beleive you may want to talk to
your doctor about it but I beleive that is
going to be your only avenue

If I understand vasectamy correctly, you
two can't have children, right? Which
would mean you don't plan on having
children.
If that's the case, I know of an extreme
measure you could look at. For a while my
mom was looking at endometrial ablation
[currently I am too,] which is basically
the removal of the uteral lining. It
almost always permanently stops your
period, but there are some problems.
1] if you decide to go through with it,
you won't be able to have children.
2] it's a fairly risky procedure depending
on the methodology.
3] there aren't many doctors with a lot of
experience in this field.
As I said before, it's a really extreme
measure and might not be what you are
looking for [especially since I don't know
when you and your husband are going to
execute these big plans.] however it might
interest you to know that later in life it
can be an effective alternative to
hysterectomy.
I know of at least 2-3 women in my tiny
choir at church who have had this done...
It sounds liek a relatively invasive,
uncomfortable procedure, but with good
results, most of the time...
