That would be good advice... sadly I have talked to the doctor about it and four different types of pill and several years of experimentation later (you gotta give your body time to get used to each one), and no luck.

At the other end of the scale, my last flatmate has been skipping her period by sticking on the pill for about three years now with no problems. I think she lets herself have a period about every six months - and doesn't seem to be suffering any loss of libido at all.

Unfortunately hormonal contraception is not an exact science, since we've all got different levels to begin with.
