i didn't have it for a year or so at one point in my life. i was put on the pill to bring it back because the docs said that wasn't healthy and some other blahblahblah mumbojumbo . party poopers.think of this, though: if i lost my period altogether, i most likely was infertile. when on the pill, i have a .1% chance of getting pregnant. i, as someone who never wants to have kids, figure that birth control won't ever be much of a problem for me, in general. cool, eh ?
