Hi all! I'm new to this board. Right now, I'm on nuvaring. I have never had a problem with it, but it would be nice to not have a period! Does anyone know of any birth control that doesn't cause a lot of weight gain that let's you skip a period? I don't want to take the shot, cause I've heard a lot of bad stuff. I'm also going to start trying for a baby in 6-9 months. Please, any input would be great!!! P.S. I'm awful at remembering to take a pill daily! But, let me know if any of you like pills out there that keep the period away!

Thanks,
Casey

The minipill worked for taking away my period for about 4 months for me. Although I haven't really heard of anyone else thats used the minipill for that reason.
