I talked to the docs about it, and they said the risks weren't really any higher that with regular pills. I don't really like the thought of changing my body that much though. I was on the patch, and had been hearing lots of bad stuff from it, so I switched to a low-dose pill and love that even more. My Aunt Flo really isn't all that bad anyways, so I don't mind the once a month visit.
Just talk to your doctor about it. If you have a really hard time with your Aunt Flo then maybe that's something to consider, but ask about risks for the future as well as side effects. You know, getting enough exercise really helps lessen the pain-in-the-ass-ness Aunt Flo causes.
