Wow, thanks for all that info Steph.
I won't bother trying to skip a period. I skipped last month's and this one had definitely been HORRENDOUS! I left work at noon yesterday and slept from 4pm - 8:45. Then I went back to be at 9:30 and slept until 7am this morning.
B.c. pills are a bit of a pain in the butt, aren't they?

I haven't had a period for years either....I HATE periods. And I get way fewer migraines than I used to before going on Depo (the migraines is why I needed a progesterone only bc in the first place).
Going back to having periods when we decide to start a family is going to be SOOOOO annoying! I love being like this.

I've been on depo for a year and a half, and I've only had 1 period in that time, and that was because I got my shot later in the two week window you have to get it. I get my shot in the beginning of the two weeks I can get it, and I don't get my period at all. I've had no problems other than that!
Granted I know when January roles around, they're going to want to take me off the depo because of long term use health risks....but honestly being on depo has helped so much in getting me IBS stable not to mention I'm not incapacitated at least one day a month now!

I used to have my period every 9 weeks because of the cramps, but have recently stopped as I suspect it is the cause of some recent weight gain. But while I was doing it, I noticed my cramps were double the amount of pain. However, I figured having double the pain once every 9 weeks was well worth it! I missed less work that way, too..

I have endometriosis. My doc has had me taking my pill continuously for the last 2 years. My last period was in February of 2003. This helps me TREMENDOUSLY because I no longer get cramps, but some day I will have to let myself get my period (if I ever want kids - i will have to go off the pill). I fear what my period will be like then. My doc tells me not to worry, but of course I still do....

So I might be right to believe that my extreme cramps could be from missing a period. Thanks. LOVE your new pic!
