JM- I think you need to research carefully, as it's an important decision, and there are side effects- but if you want, you can ask your doctor for a scrip for the Pill. The pill regulates your fertility cycles and permits menstruation by the use of "dummy" pills. If you skip these dummy pills, and take 2-3 months of the "active" pills straight through, then you will have that time without a period. However, I think periods get much easier with practice at managing/handling them, so I'd encourage you to hang in there.
