How to you feel about estrogen use?

Question:

Hi. I hate my period. HATE IT. So I've heard of using mild doses of estrogen to keep it away. Estrogen also reduces the risk of uterin cancer in later life and keeps things like acme away. However are there any hidden side effects? Will my breasts fall off or something? Will I be unable to have children? Will I GROW A BEARD? THanks for listening. :)

Answers:
If you're just hating having a period, but are not having SEVERE problems (i.e., hemorrhaging, doubled-over cramping, INSANE PMS symptoms, etc) the chances of getting birth control pills just because you "don't like a period" aren't very high.

Estrogen use (in the form of low-dose birth control) is a good way to MODERATE your period; but you're still going to get one, like it or not.

Estrogen usage CAN lead to a much higher incidence of breast cancer, so you MUST be able to perform breast-self-exams. You will be fertile once you stop using the pill; all it does is keep you from ovulating. Beard growth should not happen...male-pattern hair growth usually occurs from an over-abundance of the male hormone testosterone.
