My doctor soon perscribed me Ortho Tri Cyclen which i have been on for almost 5 years now. I was soon diagnosed with Von Willebrands, a comon bleeding disorder in women, which is usually not diagnosed untill theyre periods start.. I too am going to be checked for endo, as my cramps are terrible. I can see why a doctor would stop her period compleetly, my doctor is leaving it up to me wether or not I choose to have one but once or twice a year... She told me the ideal borth control would have no period at all. I hope you get things figured out, Best of luck! Heidi
