:O I've been on birth control for about a year now, and I love it. It's amazing knowing exactly when your period is coming, and it's so short! It's a four week cycle so it keeps you artificially in that 28 days. (I'm on it because I was spotting randomly during the month, and I have a tiny fibroid which is probably what's causing it. I don't actually know if the birth control is stopping the fibroid from growing... it's just so great to know when your period is coming, and it really does help with cramping.) ^^;; Anyway... I'm recommending it to women who have issues. Though it actually sounds like you're pretty healthy, just freaked out about it. ^^;;
