Thanks all. I think I am going to go ahead with getting the progesterone pills. Hopefully I can go through the "withdrawal" bleeding when it's time for my normal period.

I've used the pill for several years (but never started it till I was 25 anyway) and have had very little trouble. It has helped control my frequent migranes and I have less cramping during my period when I've been on the pill. I saw my mother on the patch and without changing her diet she gained a pound of weight every other day while she was on it. My sister-in-law was on the shot and liked it but over a couple years went from a size 4 to a size 18 - not pretty. I have experienced no weight gain or other side effects with the pill so it's what works for me for now. If I ever change what type of BC I use I will most likely get permanantly fixed or an IUD.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
