Skipping Period

Hi! I am not sure how healthy this really is or if puts me at risk for anything...my boyfriend and I are close to being engaged (sounds weird)and we talk about having kids a lot and want to have them as soon or close to it after we get married... anyway, i have been on birth control for 5 years or so and since i started it I have taken it so that I skip my period. when I was anorexic I didn't have a period, and loved it... and to be honest that part of being a girl really just makes me sick, always has.

So my question is... I know it is safe to skip your period as long as you have 4 periods a year but what if you ALWAYS skip? What are the negative affects???

HELP!
