A pill that eliminates your period for good?

According to the NY Times, next month the FDA is expected to approve the first contraceptive pill that is designed to eliminate periods as long as a woman takes it. Doctors say they know of no extra risk to the new regimen, but also say there are no studies on its long-term effects.

Frankly we like getting our periods - they are reassuring, and symbolize our bodies hormonal ebb and flow (wink, wink.) On the flipside, we also understand why some women would want to be rid of them for good - the pain, the mess, the hassle of those several days a month can be less than pleasant. So we are all for the choice, but once again the medical community has to shove a pill down our throats - for a profit - before doing its duty to make sure it is ok for us. Come on it is a bit counterintuitive to stop something altogether, no?

What do you think? If given the chance, would you take a pill to end your period for good?
