Q: how safe is it to not have a period ?

A couple of months ago my ob/gyn informed me that I was a "prime canidate" for the Nuva Ring. She also told me that I could use it all month long instead of the normal two weeks on one week off method.
She told me that it would allow me to not have to deal with ever having a period again. As awesome as it all sounds, I have dealt with some pretty serious side effects because of it all , and my doctor keeps telling me to stick with it, it will all go away soon.
I would very much so like to hear your opinions on this matter, I have thought about taking it out and going back to "normal" but my doctor insists that I keep trying.

Thank you all very much =)

Since it has already been a couple of months and you are still uncomfortable, you can switch birth control methods.
You shouldn't stick with it because you won't have a period, you should stick with a birth control method that YOU like and YOU are comfortable with.
Talk to your doctor. If you want off, I would get off of it. Try a different form. I have Mirena. Although it hurt to insert, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant for 5 years, unless I want to. After my body got used to it (took about 7 months), I haven't gotten any periods either, but I haven't really experience a lot of side effects like a lot of the other methods.
