For about 4 or 5 months now i've been
skipping my placebo pills & heading
straight to a new pill pack for the
purpose of skipping my period. Is this
going to harm my body in any way if I keep
doing this? I plan to wait for my period
regularly next month. Not having one has
just been great though i must admit,
because unfortuneately mine still brings
the bad cramps & backaches along with
it.

I did this for a year. I didn't have any
health problems but I cant say that you
won't though. I enjoyed not having a
period also! Wish I could be more help to
you. If you don't want a period maybe you
should try the depo shot or the pills that
you only have 3 or 4 periods a year. I
forget the name of it.

Many women do what you are doing with no
problems. However, you could ask your
ob-gyn more about it just in case.
Have you talked to your ob-gyn about the
pill that causes many women to have no
period at all? I would tell her that you
have been skipping the placebos and see
what she recommends and thinks is the
safest way to go about not having a
period.
You can look into Depo, but I would not
recommend it. Some women have even more
bleeding on Depo. Also, it has some
really awful side effects and can actually
cause irreversible damage to your body.

Yeah, there really is no reason to worry
about it- the only thing is that when you
do get your period, it might be worse than
normal. Maybe talk to your doc about
switching to seasonale or seasonique
becuase they are meant for this purpose.
